Okay ladies I need MAJOR HELP.. My 7 and 9 year old are home for the summer and I'm a SAHM so yes I'm stuck entertaining. I just bought a home so my funds are limited. Do you have any really cool ideas to spend our time during the summer?

I'm very crafty so art projects are also welcomed!!

    One thing I absolutely love doing with my kids these days is a picnic in the yard. We make lunch and snacks, setup a blanket, and enjoy our meals in the sun and shade. Throw in some running through a sprinkler, homemade popsicles, and squirt gun tag, and you've got an entire day of fun for little cash!

    I jus bought my kids a water slide an a sprinkler cost me 20 bucks for both of them at the dollar store lol an worth every penny !

    Picnics at your local park. Our parks here have water parks, and it's cheap to get in.

    Maybe you can have a mommy and me cooking day?

    @ericak22 I'm a black Rachel Ray so I've pretty much have done all cooking projects... But I love the picnic idea.
  • YNVTishYNVTish
    @mrz_jackson .. slip and slide is a great idea
  • caroline8_pcaroline8_p
    Damn! Wish I was a Rachael Ray! I know how to cook hb meat & chicken! I'm not creative in that department.
  • YNVTishYNVTish
    @caroline8_p ... LOL my 8 year old wrote an essay in class titled... Rachel Ray Can't Compete with My Mom... LOL

    It talked about how I can make all these dishes, deserts and things.. how Rachel cooks in 20 mins but my mom cooks even faster (during the week) and she also helps us with Homework, watches TV, texts, feeds the baby and makes my step dads lunch for the next day... All while cooking. LOL.

    Just had to share that.. it makes me laugh.
    But yeah I took home economics all 4 years of high school and also while majoring in accounting in college I took additional classes in Cullinary as a minor

    I wouldn't say I'd be able to compete on Top Chef but I can throw down in my own kitchen. LOL
