My Experiences of Playing Outdoors with My Family
Some of my greatest memories of my childhood include playing outside. It was something I looked forward to every spring and summer. I never knew what the day would bring.
I was fortunate enough to live in a neighborhood full of children. There were several of us almost the same age. Back in those days, we would go out to play in the mornings, come home for lunch and then go back outside and play until dark. We were never bored. There was always something to do. Some of my favorite things were riding bikes, playing tag, making mud pies, playing in the creek, and playing hide and seek.
Now that I am a mom, I look forward to spring and summer. It is my favorite time of the year. I like to spend time outside with my kids. I try to show them that there is always something to do. I am so excited for spring to finally get here I make a list of things I want to do during the summer. We have been inside all winter and it is so nice to be able to finally get outside. Here is a few of our favorite things we did over the summer.
- Went fishing - Fishing is a favorite of my husbands so he was excited to take the kids fishing. My daughter caught her first bass. It was a proud moment for my husband.
- Went on a Picnic - Nothing easier than spreading a blanket in the grass and eating outside. Any change to your routine is always good plus my kids love it.
- Going to the Park - We could stay there all day. Feeling the sun on your face and spending the day with other moms and children is always fun.
- Swimming - We love the water. It is a great way to stay cool in the summer on those hot, humid summer days here in NC.
- Beach - We take a trip to the beach every summer. Nothing better than spending the day and evening outside on the beach.
- Spend the day at home outside - Endless games to play .... tag, hide and seek, bubble maker, and paint the sidewalk. Painting the sidewalk is something we started this past summer. All you need is a bucket of water and a paintbrush. Endless hours of fun.
Another great thing we enjoy in the summer is planting a garden. My kids love to watch the plants grow, bloom, and eventually turn into a vegetable. Fun for them to watch and a great way to encourage kids to eat vegetables.
If you can't tell by now, summer is my favorite time of the year. Sun filled days are always fun around here. Endless possibilities of things to do. I hope everyone had a great summer and I look forward to the next summer.

Ways I Saved/Earned Money This Week
- I read all of my MyPoints emails daily for my account and my husband's to add points to receive FREE gift cards.
- Cleaned out my coupon binder and filed new coupons for future shopping trips.
- Compared gas prices online before filling up so I could get the lowest price.
- Used FREE dishwasher detergent samples this week when using the dishwasher.
- Continued to use my FREE samples this week - wipes, hand sanitizer, lip balm, lotion, and toothpaste.
- Continuing to try to drink more water. Not only is this good for me but it will also be a great way to save money.
- Took a survey and earned $3.
- The weather is a lot cooler so we are not having to use the A/C as much.
- DH was gone on storm trouble for 9 days = saving money by 1 less person at home eating, using power, water etc. plus he worked lots OT = bigger paycheck.
- Got my laptop repaired - compared prices before so as I posted here - Saved $425.
- Payton will be starting kindergarten next year and I have been wanting to continue reviewing her numbers, letters, shapes, colors and practice writing. I went to the Dollar Store and found Pre-K workbooks for $1 each. Found the same type of books online and in other stores for $3+ each.
- Needed 2 birthday cards so I went to my stockpile of cards and pulled 2 out - no money spent.
- Took Payton to the library for the 1st time and got her a library card. A great way to teach a child to love books, plus FREE books for story time.
- Had leftovers 3 days this week. No food wasted.
- I was given 2 garbage bags full of winter clothes for Bryson. Who doesn't love FREE clothes?
- Cashed in Swagbucks for a $5 Amazon gift card. I save these to use for buying Christmas presents.
