Happy Birthday to ME!

Jeff left for his big Canada fishing trip yesterday morning. He won’t have TV, cell or internet for 10 days. He has been looking forward to this for 5 years and I’m so happy he’s able to go. He’s such a wonderful husband and father, he deserves it!

However, this trip left me and the boys to plan my birthday alone this year. Will has been excellent, saying Happy Birthday to me and drawing me pictures for my birthday all week. Jeff and the boys celebrated my birthday on Wednesday before he left so we don’t need to celebrate today. However, Will knows it’s my real birthday today and I feel like I need to do something festive for him on my birthday!! I have to work today but I’ve been contemplating what to do with the boys after work to celebrate.

In the last year, I’ve noticed the ice cream shops and restaurants advertise free things on your birthday, I thought – hmmm, I wonder what is out there to cash in on my birthday? I googled “free birthday meals” and after a few attempts, found this great site Free Birthday Treats that will provide you with all the freebies and discounts you can get on your birthday. I was shocked to see all the things you can get! I found this site to be the best because you simply choose if you are a kid or adult, your state, and then click on “entertainment,” “restaurant,” or “retail.”

Here are just some of the things I found for FREE!

Free round of golf – 18 holes (this was in Madison for my Madison family and friends!)
Free ice cream – Cold Stone and Baskin Robbins, Ben & Jerry’s
Free gourmet burger – Red Robbin
Free birthday gift from Sephora (I’m going there at lunch today!!)
Free bowling
Free meal at Noodles and Company

This was just in my area. The site also advertises that in some areas there are discounted hotel stays and travel discounts, and spa treatments. There were several restaurants that gave out free meals.
So, on your birthday or a friend or relative’s bday, check out this site and CASH IN!!!!
