Being that I live in one of the most expensive places to live in the country I don’t have a lot of extra money in our budget this year. In fact financially this last year was the hardest we have ever had. Our kids never knew any different though because as parents we make adjustments. You don’t have to spend a lot of money to have fun and this year I’m looking for even more cost effective ways to have fun as a family.
