Cheap Family Fun

It's unbelievable how small simple outings with the family can be so fulfilling. The Hubbs didn't work this weekend and being that we we're financially limited we decided to take the kids to the park. As a parent this can be extremely exhausting and at times boring, but to a kid an outing to a park can be the most exciting thing in the world. Our condominiums are right next to a park and my son is constantly begging us to take him, but for some stupid reason we don't. Granted it can get a bit overwhelming with all the little ankle-bitters running around, but that is what kids enjoy.
It's very rare that the Hubbs gets a Saturday off, so we didn't want to waste the day.




My son went from play area to play area trying to get his money's worth.





While my baby girl did mostly this, with me running behind her making sure she didn't run over any of her peers.





I came to the conclusion that we better enjoy these years where the kids don't demand expensive outings, like to theme parks and malls. Overall we had a great day, the weather was awesome here in Cali and it didn't cost a penny.

A little bit of me

I thought this might be a good time to give a little of my background to you my readers. I'm originally from Mexico, but came to this great Country when I was 4. I have been married for nearly 10 years and have two kids, a boy and a girl. My son is in 1st grade and my little girl is only a year old. They keep me busy and although some times they drive me crazy, I wouldn't have it any other way. I'm passionate about a lot of things like photography, scrapbooking, reading, and making crafts. Even though I don't get the opportunity to do these a lot when I do I love it and I will share these here as well. As I told you before I'm a stay at home mom and the reason why I started writing this blog was to express my feelings. With the hubbs being at work the majority of the time I rarely have anybody to speak to, at least anybody who can make conversation with me.
With that being said, the weekend is here and I'm excited. The Hubbs may have Saturday off, which means we might actually get to do something as a family. We don't get too many two day weekends, so when we do we try to take advantage and do something. A few years back his demanding work schedule would have created a lot of problems between us, but it is amazing how some things turn into priority. Have a great weekend everybody be safe!
