Family Friday ~ Family Fishing Trip

Dan loves to fish. He had not been for over a year, so last Sunday we and our family across the street hit lake Proctor for some fishing fun. Lynette had never actually caught a fish, so this was great for her. Ashley is never much into fishing, but our little water baby stayed in the lake all day long! We all had a really great time. Check out these great videos and pics. It was such a great day!







Dan says that fishing is the best stress relievers there is. Plus, it is frugal family fun. The best part? If all goes well, you come home with dinner!

Frugal Family Fun ~ Bubble Time!

My kiddos have loved to blow bubbles since they were very little. I love bubbles because they are a a fun activity for all ages and cost so very little. The kids and I can spend a whole afternoon playing with this soapy mixture in the back yard. We blow bubbles of all shapes and sizes, chase bubbles, pop them, and just have a really great time! If you are looking for a fun and frugal outdoor activity, give this a try.

This is my favorite bubble recipe. It makes a lot, so prepare to have some fun!

6 cups water
2 cups Joy dish soap
3/4 cup corn syrup

If you decide to blow bubbles at each other, you will get sticky because of the corn syrup, but it sure helps make fantastic bubbles. Getting all sticky while playing with your kids is a smile price to pay for making wonderful memories!
