Summer holidays are coming fast – which can mean family fun … but also the challenge of keeping children busy and entertained without breaking the bank. We want to know (NEED to know!): How do you do it?
· Are you saving to go away on a staycation or arranging fun days out?
· Are you looking at ways to make summer at home more fun than ever?
· Do you have tips on how to keep the kids fed and happy while they’re racing around at home or out and about?
Tell us your tips and hacks. Plus, don't forget to check the Aldi website regularly to see their summer savings on everything from food to clothes to garden essentials and toys!
My biggest tip is one my gran told my mum when she had my brother, and me when my son was young:
"Remember, you're a parent, not a clown."
What she meant was that you shouldn't feel the need to entertain your kids every waking minute of the day, that it's absolutely fine to leave them alone to play in the garden, and even to let them be bored occasionally.
That in itself will save you a lot of money, time and stress.
