If you don't have something nice to say....

I have recieved a little bit of criticism for sharing too many 'unhealthy' free things ~ here is the deal ~ I am not bias towards fast food to be honest our family does not eat much of it, I feel I need to defend my parenting & my personal lifestyle here - just for the record our family eats mostly whole foods and usually only have a fast food option a few times a month, our kids are 4 & they have never had soda - heck I 'cut' their 100% organic juice w/ about 75% water! My kids eat raw veggies every day! (without dip without complaining) - they like them! I'm just saying - I would LOVE to share free healthy options! If I hear of them I do. If you hear of them feel free to pass them on to me! Unfortunately there aren't as many healthy freebie foods - but you can work it off w/ free ice skating or check out a free health fair - both posted on the blog!

But I am not going to bad mouth a company that is giving away something for free - my blog is about free stuff in San Diego. Please take advantage of everything you want, please simply skim over what you are not interested in. Please share what you think others may be interested in, please don't criticize me for sharing something that is free that you aren't interested in - other's might be. Maybe it is not a good choice to take advantage of every freebie food here - but I think my readers are smart enough to make that decision for themselves.

Sorry but it is difficult to be criticized for a service I offer for free - nobody pays anything to read this blog or even subscribe to it. My goal is for this to be an upbeat fun place with lots of free options for your family here in San Diego! This is a little hobby of mine and I make a few dollars a day from advertising - that is it! I don't do this for the money - I do this to share fun free stuff. The response has been overwhelmingly positive, but man - if you don't appreciate it, I'm not forcing you to read it.

Whoa - harsh - but had to get that off my chest!

  1. also - i dont judge anyone who lets their kiddos have soda or anything else for that matter - i just felt the need to defend myself against people calling me unhealthy & saying that the things i post are bad for our children....everyone can make their own choices - I think we all do the very best we can! Peace!!

  2. Thanks for doing what you do Kate! I've gotten a lot out of your posts. I've gotten gift cards through swagbucks, free bagels, free camping reservations, and some great date ideas including the San Marcos outdoor movies and a great trip to Universal for teachers and their families. Thanks for offering this free service!

  6. I'm surprised someone would complain. I think it's pretty obvious you cover everything and anything that is a deal in San Diego. We eat healthy mostly and you are a huge service to me. I love your site, and check it daily. Most of my friends are too. Keep up the good work Kate.
