![]() “Free play” is very messy and very difficult for adults to understand, but I think it’s sorely lacking in our culture today. I want their imaginations to develop, so I try to be fine with most of their messes, even if it drives me nuts sometime. I’m a big believer in kids coming up with their own things to play, without direction or suggestion from adults or media. They did all go outside together and make a “camper”: When they all play together, it’s usually a much larger mess. ![]() Yesterday’s messes were pretty mild, probably because the 5yo and 7yo played together and the 3yo and 2yo played together. Some sort of car that my 3yo and 2yo built. If you’ve ever wondered what my kids do while I’m working (that’s probably the question people ask the most), here’s pictorial examples: This has taken a big load of stress off of me, and I no longer dread Wednesdays quite like I used to. Hannah (one of my team) does the Safeway and Albertsons deals late on Tuesday night, and I add ratings and notes and publish them on Wednesday morning. Of course, that doesn’t mean there aren’t fights while they are upstairs in their rooms, but they don’t usually fight too much between 7 and 8 AM.) (We have a “no kids downstairs before 8 AM” rule so that I can get some work done before beginning my job as a mom referee. (It’s the first day for King Soopers and Sprouts, too, but I’m thankful I can get those on Tuesdays!) Let’s be honest about “starting work early”: it usually means that I stumble downstairs around 6 AM, usually in my bathrobe, and stay crouched at my computer until everyone else comes downstairs at 8 AM. If you’ve found a Minority Redefined great deal, promo, discount, coupon, or sale you want to share with us, visit our Share your promo code page.I start work early on Wednesdays, since it’s the day that Albertsons and Safeway release their grocery ads. How do I submit an Minority Redefined promo code? Check the expiry date of the code, as some of them run for a limited time or expire after a set period. Whoops! The codes are case sensitive so enter it exactly as it is written and try again.
