It is almost nice enough to start playing outside and that means we will be replacing some of our outdoor items.  Luckily my boys are young still so I don’t have sports equipment to buy, but I do like to browse around Dick’s Sporting Goods every now and then to see if they have any fun outdoor items we could use now.  I also love to bring out the kid in me and try out new items while I am there!  Well Dick’s Sporting Goods has partnered with me to not only mention a fabulous contest they are having, but also give one Mama’s Money Savers a $50 gift certificate!
