I also have a large family, and we are taking everyone this summer. We have been planning and saving for a year. With that many people, of course, driving is a lot less than flying. As a kid, my parents would take us on vacation every year and we always stayed at the KOA Kampground. We all slept in tents and sleeping bags. Supper every night was hot dogs over the camp fire or sandwiches. Breakfast was pop tarts or donuts. Lunch was at Disney World. We would eat cheap, sharing meals if possible. Drink water.
This is the first year we are going to Disney, but I am a Six Flags veteran. With my own kids, my budget allows for a hotel. If you are driving to Florida, then you will already have the family van, so staying off Disney property is cheaper. You will just have to check prices on the internet until you find a good deal. Take as much food in coolers as you can. Go to the grocery store in Orlando and stock up when you need to. Take your own juice boxes and Capri Sun into the park for the kids. I take Kool Aid singles and mix it up in a refillable water bottle. Water is free and so is ice. Plus, you don't want your kids drinking soda all day anyway. Little ones will eat a pb&j, again, this Mom always has one in my bag of tricks, along with pb crackers, fruit snacks, and Slim Jims.
Your older kids are old enough to understand that you need to save up for this trip. For birthdays and Christmas, ask grandparents to give money to go towards the trip. Then when it is time to go, each child has their own spending money for snacks and souvenirs. Or, I give each child an "allowance" for the entire week. Mom will pay for lunch, but any snacks or drinks (other than the ones in my bag) they have to pay for with their own money. They also buy their own souvenirs. For my 13 year old, she is given her vacation allowance and has to buy her own meals as well. It is surprising how she is much more satisfied with a burger, no fries, no soda when when she is paying for it herself.
Get the kids involved in the planning and saving. Maybe have a family garage sale. Mow neighbors yards, do extra chores for grandparents and family friends. Ask church family to help give the kids odd jobs to do for money. When my kids are involved in the planning, they realize just how much it costs to do these things, so they are more understanding of why we do it on a budget and there is a lot less grumbling and complaining.

How can I cheaply hang sheers on my window?
Kelley P
I have a bow (not a bay) window and finding a curtain rod to fit is virtually impossible. I need to put up sheer curtains on the window, but they can be stationary as long as I can pull them and tie them back a bit. I've thought about just hanging small hooks along the window or pvc pipe. I'm just not sure where to start. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.
Answer
Depending on the size of the window, you might trya camping store for the flexible fiberglass tent poles. They usually have replacement poles for sale, and they might even be able to cut them to a specific length for you. Be sure they put the metal end back on.
To mount it, I would use at least three of the small cafe curtain hanger clips, one at each end and one in the center. For a large window them more.
The cheapest way to hand these is to create a "tack strip".
Be sure you have measured the fabric, and allow for about 4 inches fold over for th etop mounting. Get a pice of poster board and cut into two inch wide strips until you have enough length to fir the curve in your window.
push tacks, (usually upholstery tacks, but thumbtacks will likely hold for sheers) through the strips every three inches or so.
Lay the fabric out, and place the tack strip at the top edge of the fabric, tack into the material. Fold the strip over the fabric so the tacks are now face up, and the fabric has been wrapped on both sides of the poster board.
Pick up the strip of poster board and tack it to the window frame at your measured height. continue until all the sections are up. Now you can pull back the sections as you want. When loose they should fall and cover the wondow.
Good luck, hope this helps with what you are trying to do.
