I decided early on that we would take a family vacation every summer, no matter what our financial situation was. We booked inexpensive trips like camping at the Jersey shore or driving to Tennessee and camping nearby so we could go to Dollywood. We drove to Florida and stayed at an inexpensive condo outside of DisneyWorld. It lacked the convenience or the “status” of staying in DisneyWorld, but my kids had a great time on a shoestring budget!
We cooked out on the grill on our camping trips, saving on meals. We shopped at a local supermarket and ate sandwiches.
We went to local parks, the zoo, visited friends, went to the pool. I did backyard Olympics with my children and their friends and we did crafts together. They swung on trees, rode their bikes and played with friends.

Sick Days
So what do you do when your child is sick? Do you let them rest in front of the TV all day in or do you let them play with items while they are resting?
When I was growing up we always had toys to play with like crayons, coloring books, stickers, books and much more. Items that would keep us occupied without having us run around too much. It was really nice to have that break from television and actually stimulate my mind, while still resting.
So what do you do when your child is sick? Have any ideas of items that they can play while still being in bed? Please share!
