Like always Spring Break is a week away, here in Essex County, NJ and I have yet to plan anything to keep my children busy. lt could be part procrastination, part improper budgeting so I am relying on my go-to, affordable kid friendly activity planner - Groupon (and/or Livingsocial). 

I simply search for nearby activities within a 10 mile radius for less than $15 per person. In most occasions I participate and need to purchase Groupon's for myself as well but this time around since I have the baby I will sit on the sidelines and watch, which will save additional costs. Here are the Groupon's I purchased for my kids...
