ā DON'T WANT TO SIGN UP FOR EVERYTHING?
Neither do we.
Start with the places your family already visits. For many local families, Meadows + Chick-fil-A + Starbucks + Panera + Ulta or Sephora would give you a pretty great birthday lineup without filling your phone with rewards apps you'll never use again.
š Make a Birthday Freebie Day
You definitely don't need to spend your birthday driving around Franklin County collecting every free thing available.
Pick a favorite or two instead.
Grab a birthday coffee on the way to work. Let your teen pick up a beauty gift after school. Take the birthday kid for ice cream. Use a free dessert to make an ordinary family dinner feel a little more special.
Sometimes those tiny traditions become the things everyone remembers — and looks forward to doing again next year.
