    Default Winter time blahs. . .

    What do you do with your families that is fun and frugal and helps when cabin fever sets in?

    We go to the library. There is nothing more frugal than going there, picking out some books and bringing home a movie or two. Once we are home I make some pizza and we it and watch the movies together.

    Play games, borrow movies from the library, read books. Sometimes we'll take the kids to this one particular mall that has an indoor playground. We aren't spenders, so we don't worry that we'll buy while we're there. We bring treats and drinks and just let them get out all of their energy.
