Last week after a great Yoga class, I came together with my friends. We sat and some of us thought, “fun is pricey”. I am definitely thinking in the opposite way. Since I was a kid, I loved the activities which I didn’t put too much money on, but enjoyed way more than ones that cost coins. 

All activities don’t necessitate any equipments, right ? 

For this weekend, forget about activities which require spending money and opt for ones that nurture experiences together....

Here are my 5 activities for this weekend which you can enjoy with your whole family.. 

1-Car wash: Parents, you will definitely love this activity. Set some work for the kids and for yourself of course. Washing the family car and of course each other. Just a bucket, soap, sponges... Leave kids 10 minutes for the car cleaning and the rest probably they will be washing each other and after that your turn starts for the real cleaning.

after dinner in Dallas last week.

2-Go for a walk. We are all close to beaches in Corpus Christi. Even though you are in another city, you can still enjoy the weather, some small mountains or great parks. Walking is one of the best activities to be healthy, fit and also to get rid of stress. 

3-Sidewalk chalk. Drawing is always fun, whether you are 9 or 59. You can let the kids make pictures and let yourself do the same. The result will show what is going through your minds. 

4-Bubble art. I used to do it a lot when I was a kid and I still enjoy it. Making bubbles are always fun but the kids sometimes can get bored of it. Here is an art. Add a few drops of food coloring into the plastic and let them blow the bubbles onto white paper. You will enjoy this artictic masterpiece.

5-Sunday.... Yoga... After getting tired of all those activities, before breakfast, spend at least 15 minutes on doing Yoga. That will help you become more active for the day, and it will wash away the Blue Monday.. 

See you next Thursday!
