Buy a crappo umbrella stroller for sure. We did this in Eleuthra and it came in very handy. I would also bring some play stuff, like stacking cups or a simple bucket and shovel. If...

We LOVE our IKEA dates! We bring the whole family for dinner which is yummy and cheap, then after dinner the kids get to go play and hang out while we go and stroll the store.

Wonderful post! I bought a portrait of a lady, painted in the 60's, at an estate sale last summer ($10!!) Anyhow... I showed my kids and they said "She looks EVIL". ...

I love it!!! If I hadn't just invested in very very cute Bento boxes for my 3 kids I would totally order this. Our kids school went 'garbage free' this year, so we're not allowed to s...
