Frugal Family Vacations in Dedham

April vacation has arrived for the Dedham school district and Ursuline Academy, and it's just perfect timing if you want to get out and enjoy mild, spring weather with your children.

Kids are always asking, "What can we do today?" This question is heard more often when school vacation week is upon us. Trying to keep the out-of-class students fed, clothed and entertained each day of vacation can turn in to a costly adventure.

Frugal Family has kept it local this week, strolling on a recent day, coming up with some fantastic finds to share. FF is a huge fan of all things Dedham, and wants to remind everyone to support Dedham Square and all that it offers us, from the great food, fabulous gift shops, books, movies and salons. Make it a point to visit the merchants we are so fortunate to have in our historic square.
