If you are looking for an amazing interactive learning experience for your children that will be fun time and time again, check out the Omaha Children's Museum. It is a gem. They have a room especially designed for small children along with exhibits that stimulate the senses of children of all ages. It is even fun for the moms!

So here's the secret. You can apply for a season pass to the Children's Museum through the Welcome Fund. The Children's Museum has large companies donate money to make it affordable for those with small budgets to enjoy this resource. Take advantage of it. For only a $5 donation (after your application has been accepted) you can have a year pass!!!! That's right! One year of fun for only $5!! Click here to be directed to their website where you can download the application at home!!! What a deal we found for you!

Another consignment sale is coming up. This one is located in Fremont and I haven't been to it, but it may be worth the drive. Who knows if you don't go? Put this on your calendar because it is a little ways in the future:

October 22-25th
Fremont City Auditorium

I didn't find any times the sale is open or if it is cash only. I think it is best just to be armed with cash because most of the sales are too small to take credit/debit cards. Have fun shopping!
