My husband is a teacher so we had two months off and we stayed very close to home. It was a great way to relax and not worry about all the stress that we impose on ourselves and our planet.

Please remember to check out each other's posts and offer comments. Also, make sure you linked back to this site so that all the TG Thursday bloggers have a chance to get some traffic. This weekend I shall enjoy a tomato paste mask, purchase some wrap-n-mats, and maybe even whip up some homemade salsa thanks to your collective frugal wisdom!

Great ideas here this week...we didn't go anywhere this summer either! But it is nice to stay home, I agree with Sommer. We couldn't get away if we wanted to.

This is something I'd love to do. We have lots of family friendly attractions around us and the majority are free. I get to enjoy them with our girls but my husband doesn't. Unfortunately most if not all of his vacation time is spent traveling to see far flung grandparents (or maybe we're the ones who are far flung?). What a great idea. This is something I’d love to do.

Many people have museums, art installations, libraries, play houses, parks, and shops in the city that they live in and have never visited them.

We took a lot of day trips and went to concerts. We thought it was best because of Ethan still being so young. Have a great day! Donna We did this also this summer!

I hate traveling with our two kids--it's so stressful. I'm perfectly content to just vacation in CO for now b/c 3-5 hours of travel time is about all my boys can take. That’s a great idea.
