It is May.... 31 days of BEAUTY

I love the month of May, it should be savored and enjoyed..  We have 31 days of perfect weather before it gets too hot to play outside.  The flowers are showing their blooms, the birds are chirping and wildlife starts to come out.  The sun and the warm air feels so good we spend most of our time outside.  We like to watch the kids ride bikes and have scooter races.  We catch each others shadows, fly kites and find caterpillars.  We like to BBQ and enjoy our meal on the porch, it is amazing how much better the same dinner tastes outside.
There are also a lot of ways to save money in May.  Many stores discount picnic supplies just before Memorial day.  Great time to stock up on paper plates and plastic utensils.  Pick up enough supplies now to get you through picnics and birthdays the rest of the year.   Stores are also putting winter items on clearance racks.  I buy long sleeve shirts, jackets, pants, boots, gloves and hats  for my kids in the next size up so that next winter they are fully stocked.
May is also skin cancer awareness month so you can find a lot of facilities that are doing free screenings.  This could save you a co-pay for your insurance and can save your life.
Mothers day is in May, I like to stock up on gift's for girls this month.  You can find huge discounts on lotions, aprons, pamper products, purses, candles, flowers and vases. 
Last but not least, my kids celebrate their birthday in May so we know there is a party to be had.
