I purchased cardstock in pastel colors from Target for $4.14, 3 bottles of paint in pink, dark pink, and purple as well as some glitter (that I mixed into the paint for a sparkly effect) from Hobby Lobby for $7.10. It kept them all occupied and made using paint with 5-8 year olds much less stressful for me.

First, visit your local library for information and books about Italy. Sail down the “Nile” at the local swimpark, practice painting hieroglyphics on large cardboard sheets or using chalk on the sidewalk.

My hobbies range from reading to painting, pen-and-ink drawing, cooking/baking, and writing. Back when I was engaged and living on my own for the first time (I lived with my parents while in grad school to save on rent), I went to the library a lot and found a copy of the Tightwad Gazette. How did you get interested in saving money?

They can take us anywhere and don’t even have to cost a penny (think library)! Go to the bookstore, library, or cafe. Other ideas might be to paint your nails, cook for yourself, spend a long time getting ready, light some candles, turn on some music. Nothing relaxes the mind more than venturing away to a fictional place.

Rent a movie or borrow one for FREE at the library. Visit your local painted pottery place and decorate mugs, plates, or tiles together. Check bars or restaurants with live local bands or singers. Many times there won’t be a cover charge to these events. Many parks put on concerts at different times of the year, too. Be a kid again.

Until, that is, she went out to the ‘library’ with her book one day, sat on the outdoor privy and got stung on the bottom by a bee! They used the berries to make a purple die and painted their own and each others bodies with it! Dad grew up on his parent’s farm with a wood stove, an outhouse and kerosene lamps.
