So here is the thing ...

So here is the thing:  I am married to Hubby who is my best friend and who is almost always up for any adventure I create!  We have a Cat and a Dawg (she’s from the south so we always refer to her with a southern drawl) but no children yet (hopefully one day!).  We both work full time during the week (weekends are ours!) and we own our own house. 

We are on a very tight budget, with the economy and gas prices; I am willing to bet we are not alone out there.  I love to go on an adventure; unfortunately, my wallet prohibits me from taking an all expensed paid trip to some hot, tropical resort somewhere or exploring the depths of some foreign utopia.  With that being said I refuse to allow my wallet to force me to sit at home bored out of my mind when the weekend comes.  There is only so much cleaning a person can do to their house!  So here are a few ideas that I try to do in the Niagara region that are either free or are very cheap, I will also share a few ideas I like to do at home for fun other then rendezvousing with my vacuum.  I love to read; bake; I like doing family fun things, even if I don’t have young children yet; I also like being able to bring my Dawg with me places as she is my lil’buddy, so dog friendly is also important to me.  Essentially I like to have fun, and be able to afford to have fun.  I will share my experiences in hopes to help you have a great weekend adventure on a tight budget! 

Please note:

1. I am not affiliated with anyone, these are strictly my opinion and I only enthusiastically endorse things I truly love to do! 

2. If you bring your dog somewhere do NOT leave your dog in the car.  (If you have to always roll down the windows, and not just a crack, roll all of the windows down!)  Always bring your dog plenty of water and be courteous of others that your dog does not jump on them or get tangled up in their leash.  ALWAYS pick up their bathroom business as no one likes stepping in doggie pooh.  (You would think people would be smart enough to know this but for some reason some people aren’t, so please look after your dog!)

3. Bring water for yourself and don’t physically push yourself.  Pack your sunscreen and your hats on sunny days; no one likes sunstroke, sunburns and skin damage!

4. Bring your camera!  I am an amateur photographer, I am not very good at it, but I enjoy it!  The cheapest of cameras can still take a good photo.  Document your fun times!  Life is short!  Relish in small pleasures!

P.S.  Give me time to update, I have a bunch of things I want to share, just the time needed to compose them all!  I hope you find this helpful!

So here we go …
