FREE FAMILY FUN
How to Have Family Fun Cheap
from wikiHow - The How to Manual That You Can Edit
Not everyone has enough money to visit places suggested as perfect for family outings. There are a lot of things people want nowadays, but with a family you have got to be budget-conscious to have fun. Here are soome ideas for how you can have family fun on a budget.
Steps
- Figure out what matters most to you. Is it:
- your home?
- your family?
- your food?
- your home?
- Prioritize the things that matter. All of these are important of course, but what do you enjoy the most? If it is all of them, you'll need to consider how you can juggle between them, to stretch your dollar as far as possible.
- Think about the sorts of things you like to do. It may be learning; outdoors activities; eating out; movies or other ideas. Once you have thought about these things, the next step is to consider the ways that you can do these things without it costing too much, or perhaps even for free.
- Look at the following activities and suggested "low-cost" or "free" alternatives. See which ones appeal to you and come up with more of your own alternatives as well:
- Learning activities: Visit the library. Libraries offer several resources that can be of great benefit for free or for a very low joining fee. You can borrow books (fiction, non-fiction, craft, art, hobbies, language, math, science etc.), music and reading CDs, DVDs and videos and even games and toys at some libraries. Save by not buying these things but borrowing them for the whole family; take the whole family to the library for regular visits, so that everyone can make their own choices. Libraries also offer a lot of activities such as "meet-the-author" sessions, book reading evenings and children's clubs. All of these are a great way to meet others and to have an enjoyable time.
- Rent movies and stop cable TV subscriptions: Get rid of cable TV costs through regular movie borrowing or cheap rental from DVD stores. Initially there will be withdrawal symptoms but soon you'll discover that between the movies you can borrow for free or rent for low prices and the free-to-air choices, you'll have plenty to watch. All the extra time you gain to spend together as a family is an enormous bonus!
- Increase your knowledge: You can learn a lot of new things from reading books (the ones you've borrowed from the library). A great way of learning is to base the learning on a famous novel. For instance, after reading a novel like Little House on the Prairie, your family could follow up the reading by borrowing books on farming during different periods of history. Learn together the different ways people have done things and how they are done today.
- Take up craft or homesteading activities: Try craft books, "free fun" books, homesteading books (old-fashioned knowledge and tips), games books and science books (kids love the experiments). You could have a fair in your house - make up the games and have events like balloon dart-throwing.
- Learning activities: Visit the library. Libraries offer several resources that can be of great benefit for free or for a very low joining fee. You can borrow books (fiction, non-fiction, craft, art, hobbies, language, math, science etc.), music and reading CDs, DVDs and videos and even games and toys at some libraries. Save by not buying these things but borrowing them for the whole family; take the whole family to the library for regular visits, so that everyone can make their own choices. Libraries also offer a lot of activities such as "meet-the-author" sessions, book reading evenings and children's clubs. All of these are a great way to meet others and to have an enjoyable time.
- Make the most of city life. Cities offer a lot of free events - hit every free event imaginable with your family and enjoy them. These include parades, outdoor concerts, national day celebrations, marathons, charity runs, food promotional fairs, art displays, children's events and more. Keep an eye on the newspaper or internet for upcoming freebies to attend. Many museums and galleries have "free days" where you can visit for nothing at all. Don't forget to take a packed lunch or meal and plenty of water. Saves queueing as well as money!
- Visit garage sales. What other people no longer want, you might get for a song. make it a day's event to trawl around garage sales in your area. Even the haggling can be fun and you never know what you might find.
- Take a "field trip" downtown. Many cities, towns and villages have amazing buildings in their central district. Pack a great lunch (sandwiches, drinks etc) and catch the bus in to go "sight-seeing" as a tourist might. You can glimpse animals outside the zoo on the way, ride the elevator to the top of the biggest building to look out the windows and if you and the kids look presentable and well mannered and you ask the receptionist at the top office nicely to look out the window they'll probably say yes. Learn all that you can about the buildings from plaques on the walls, signs or a library book on the history of your area. If you become really knowledgeable, you might even end up telling tourists in the area more about what they're looking at!
- Shop wisely. Visit the bulk buying area at the grocery store and save money on the things you need (don't buy things you don't use just because they're cheap - it's still a waste of money if you won't use it.)
- Have a "junk food party" at home. Save on restaurants or fast food places by letting the kids enjoy the fast food at home. When shopping, buy the "junk food" items and store them at home for special days. Another way to make junk food stretch is to only buy some of the junk food (like a burger each) and then cook the rest at home (store brand or homemade fries/soda pop, for instance). It'll taste a lot better and it goes a lot further. If you do want to eat out, buy the burgers and split the fries, take your own drinks and extra food items with you and eat it all in the park instead of inside the restaurant. (Take the picnic gear and it'll feel 100% better than staying in the restaurant!) Do the same with take-out - only order some of it (e.g., the pizza) and make the rest at home (e.g., the salad, the rice, the wings, the sauces etc.)
- Be home savvy. Learn some enormously useful skills that 'll save you a lot in the long run. For instance, learn to sew and use your hot glue gun. Visit the dollar stores for bargains and also visit used (secondhand) stores and thrift stores, which have a lot of goodies that people don't want anymore but are still in terrific condition. Learn to dress up old stuff! Finding a bargain can in itself become a real addiction and as you learn more, you'll find more bargains.
Tips
- Try this fun home fair game: use an old fridge box, cut out holes for your heads (box laying sideways) and take turns being the "groundhog" sticking your heads out with the rest of the family shooting at the heads with squirt guns and even the hose! See if the "groundhog" can duck back in fast enough.
- When you shop, plan an 'at home restaurant type meal'; it'll still be cheaper to make it at home. Buy a bag of shrimp or a fancy fish. Don't buy the stuff and still go out to eat. If you stick to it and make the out-of-the-ordinary meal at home, it will be cheaper than going out.
- Another good at-home meal is making burgers and hot dogs but make all of the fixin's: Cut up tomatoes and cook bacon, heat up some hot dog sauce n' sauerkraut. Have it all out to make your own ultimate burger or hot dog.
- When reupholstering, you can use a scrap fabric that's "close to", if not perfectly what you want, and staple gun the thing to the underside of the chair or other item that you're doing up.
- Curtains are a three step process, anyone who can use scissors and a sewing machine can do it.
- To get your hands on a sewing machine: If you think hard, you probably know someone who has one. They could show you how to thread it, if you can do this you can work it. Another place to try is thrift stores; leave you name and phone number with a request for the next one that comes in.
- Swags are just flowers you like and that match your home, arranged on anything you can bend into a swag shape (hanger, a stick): Just hot glue them until they look good. It's a great past time to pull apart old arrangements and "refresh" them by giving them a rinsing and gluing them like this.
Warnings
- Don't go to a federal or government building asking to look around unless you know in advance that they allow tours. They will only say "no" and they may not be polite about it either.

i do love my job sometimes
I had a chance today to make a difference. Young girls are so impressionable. It is amazing what a little attention and a few encouraging words can do to thier self esteem.
A make up counter girl has a label an image that just comes with the job. Many of them are just so far from the truth.
Young girls look at us with amazment at times. As though we are so glamourous and beautiful and perfect.
If you knew me and my life, if you could spend a few hours in my head, well i'll just say that I,for one am not most of those.
But the things you can do when someone has that view of you are great. I hope that i did all that i could do for the three girls who stopped today. I love to show them that they are the beautiful ones. They are worthy of the time and effort and confidence it takes to show the world that you are PROUD of who you are and will "decorate" and embellish what you are to express that pride that you have in yourself.
People look at others differently, no it is not right to judge one another on our looks, but what you do with what you have, expresses how you feel about what you have.
like the commercials say, you are worth it.
so, today i loved my job.

money... my own stats....
i have just found a few resources online to help make a budget for free. they moniter your accounts and bills and let you know exactly where your money goes each month. this in theory will tell you where you can cut corners.
i also am looking into a second job. at minimum wage (7.15 an hour) and an extra 20 hours a week that will give me an extra 143 a week. (before taxes) now if i can manage to get these 20 hours in at night after my full time job i will not need to pay a sitter as i am lucky enough to have the most responsible sixteen year old on earth and not to mention school is almost back in session and the littler children will be in bed after 9 at night.
i get out of the first job at 915pm so i could get a shift from 10pm to 2am? is there such a thing?
i dunno i am working on this. in the mean time here are some free budget sites:
yodlee money center
mint.com
this is a great site (women in red) i am about to take advantage of. appearently the women on this site will help you personally with your budget. You enter all of you income info and all of you expense info. they then give you advice on what to do to save money or spend less.

Natural Remedies For Kids
Running to the doctor's every time you child is sick is not always feasible, or necessary. If your child has just come down with a cold or the runs, a tummy ache or something normal and non threatening, the money for a doctors visit may not be worth the trip to hear "the child seems fine, it's just a bug, watch them for a few days and call if they develop a fever".
I have found some natural remedies to share with all of you.
DIARRHEA:
add yogurt to the diet as soon as possible, it contains a good bacteria that fights bad bacteria.
for babies is for them to eat carrots, rice cereal, bananas, potatoes, and applesauce to help firm the stools. Fruit juices, peas, pears, peaches, plums, prunes and apricots should be avoided until the stools are back to normal. Adults and older children can also eat cheese, crackers, bread, rice and potatoes. During diarrhea outbreaks, it's best to avoid most dairy products, which tend to make diarrhea worse. This includes milk, butter, creams, and eggs. Yogurt is the exception; it will help to stop diarrhea.
Drinks like Pedialyte or KaoLectrolyte can be given to replenish both in babies, and even in older children and adults. These will help to avoid dehydration.
SUNBURN:
cool down the burn first, use ice directly on the burn, not on serious burns, they can only tolerate cold water.
Aloe vera products are often just lanolin with a touch of aloe added, lanolin will hurt, so read ingredients in those aloe vera treatments. Pure aloe vera will not prevent peeling later, so use the following to avoid peeling.
Lavender oil will stop the pain and prevent peeling, saving the skin from blistering and turning white after healing. Carefully drip the oil onto brun then blot (not rub) to spread with a gental tissue. Do not shower immediatly and reapply after next shower.

ARE YOU FREECYCLEING, I AM! The place to get a real helping hand.
Are you looking for help finding some basic household needs? Well if you are reading this you have a goldmine of genuine "Helpers" at your fingertips.
Freecycle. You NEED to join your local freecycle group. You need to.
I cannot believe out here in the real world how many people are not taking advantage of, or not even aware of this resource.
It's like signing up for a million friends with extra stuff to give away. No it is just that.
I have seen vehicles given away!
I got a refridgerator a couple of months back of of my freecycle group.
Not only is it a list of "I have....to give away", but you can ask for what you need.
"Ask and you shall recieve" Well this has never been so easy.
You do have to be patient. You may have to re-post your request, but you most likely can find the item you need on your freecycle group. It is free. It is easy and you will recieve emails alerting you every say of what is being offered in your group.
Now think about it. do you know someone without a computer who needs something? Do you belong to a church group and get requests for items familys need? Post for them you may be their saving grace! Do it over and over for area needy people and you can be an angel.
