We only list institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) or the National Credit Union Administration (NCUA). Institutions offer many more financial products. We list the ones that we think are best for stay-at-home moms. Please know there are online banks that may have better profiles (terms, rates, experiences, etc). This list is for stay-at-home moms that may need to stash some cash locally. ​We believe strategically structuring finances is the secret sauce to helping stay-at-home moms earn more with what they have. Please know that numbers do not tell the whole story. Customer service, convenience, security, privacy practices, ease of use, and more can make an entity more appealing despite not having the highest rates. We can not vouch for every institution that we list. Instead we want to make sure you know you have options. You'll want to choose a place that compliments your unique needs. While we try our best to provide accurate information, please refer to each institution for the most current details. Institutions change their offerings often, and we can not be responsible for any errors or omissions.

$1 Sunday Afternoons 2024 $0 - $1 (per person) Family-Friendly Photo: Joe Haskell via Boston Children's Museum Sundays 1:00pm - 4:00pm Boston Children's Museum Weekly $1 admission is back at the Boston Children's Museum!! $1 admission used to be sponsored by Target and happened on Friday evenings. Sometime during the pandemic, TJX became the new sponsor, and the $1 admission has switched to Sunday afternoons. This means that admission for every visitor is only one dollar per person. Children under 12 months are always free. Due to $1 admission being on the weekend, the museum can get quite busy at this time. To avoid congested areas we like to start at the third floor and make our way down. In other words, since the museum entrance is on the ground floor, families typically start exploring on that floor and make their way up (the museum has 3 levels of fun). Going the opposite direction may allow you and your little one(s) more uninterrupted play time. You can test out the museum layout with the virtual tour below. Metered parking is free on Sundays. The museum is also walking distance from public transportation. If you're curious which museums are free in (and around) Boston, we made a list here. Source Feedback Books You May Love...
