Living Social is offering a lawn ticket to catch one of the final US performances of Riverdance on 6/15, 6/16, or 6/17 at the famed Wolf Trap (a $20 or $25 value, based on date) for just $10!  Celebrating its 14th season at Wolf Trap’s storied Filene Center, this choreographed masterpiece has been viewed by more than one billion people worldwide and is likely to leave you singing and stepping long afterward. In the mood for a love story?

Pay $10 to catch Rodgers and Hammerstein’s South Pacific (running May 31 to June 3), or the five-time Tony Award-winning production of The King and I (running August 31 to September 2) — a $20 or $25 value, depending on date. Warm nights, 130 acres of national parkland, and award-winning performances? Sounds phenomenal, indeed.

Don’t forget – this Sunday (5/13) is Mother’s Day!  As I was doing a little research for this post, I was surprised to learn that a West Virginia women’s group led by Anna Reeves Jarvis began to celebrate “Mother’s Friendship Day,” in order to re-unite families and neighbors that had been divided between the Union and Confederate sides of the Civil War.  Moms are such an integral part of our lives, bringing peace to our homes and joy to our hearts,  that this second Sunday in May became a national holiday, set aside to thank those who make such a different in our lives and the world by extension.  For those of you who are blessed to have a mom in your life, be sure to take a moment to give your mom a call this Sunday!

Are you a homeschooler in the DC area?  This Friday, May 11, 2012, HEAV (Virginia’s Homeschool Organization) is sponsoring a day at King’s Dominion!  Rates are discounted for homeschoolers, and there is still time for you to buy tickets.  My husband can’t wait until our daughter is old enough to participate – then, he’ll have an excuse to go on the fun roller coaster rides.  Me?  I’ll be on the ground, thankyouverymuch.

We had a AAA membership for several years, and I loved knowing we had a “safety net” in case our car broke down while we were miles away from home!  I also thoroughly enjoyed the AAA hotel and store discounts (ladies, did you know that even New York & Company offers a AAA discount?!).  But, AAA membership, while it affords a ton of benefits, can still be cost-prohibitive for those of us on tight budgets.

Which is why I was thrilled to see that Groupon Washington, DC is offering 50% off a AAA membership today!  It’s a one-year basic membership that includes roadside assistance, complimentary trip-planning tools, and AAA exclusive discounts for one member. You must live in a region covered by AAA Mid-Atlantic to take advantage of this deal: Pennsylvania, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Washington, DC, or New Jersey.  To see the complete, detailed list, click here.

Fine Print:  This voucher expires Jul 11, 2012. Limit 1 per household, may buy multiple as gifts. Limit 1 per visit. New members only. Online activation required. Must activate by expiration date on your Groupon, membership expires 1 year from activation date.
