It’s been said, “The best things in life are free.” Here are 10 things I love that are FREE.

1. Entrance to great museums. We love hitting the museums in our metro area on days when entrance is free. We also love the museums that don’t charge an admission fee. We learn so many things and spend a great day together and it doesn’t cost us a dime.
2. Quiet time with my husband. There’s something incredible about that hour or two between putting my kids to bed and putting myself to bed. It’s the fastest few hours in my day, but some of the best hours I get to spend with my guy.
3. Cashing in on double coupons. If you hit a good sale and you are using multiple coupons, you can actually get some items for free or even make money by purchasing certain items. It’s the same high that retail therapy offers without the credit card hangover—and the guilt – later.
4. Snuggling with my girls. Each of girls still really likes to snuggle up in front of the fireplace and watch TV with me. I know the day will come – sooner than later – when they’ll no longer be comfortable being that cuddly, so I treasure the times we get now.
5. The library. I know it goes without saying, but I love nothing more than loading up my arms with a stack of good reads for me to enjoy with the girls and a few just for me. There’s nothing better than reading a good book – except doing it for free.
6. The park. No matter how big or small the city is where you live, there’s always a park full of happy kids working off all of their energy. It’s a great place for a mom to enjoy some down time while the kids work up a sweat.
7. Facebook. For a busy mom, this is an invaluable way to keep up with old friends, share information quickly, and it’s just fun (and moderately addicting).
8. Game Night. We get a little competitive at our house, so game night is never boring. We have to remind ourselves to put the kids to bed some nights because we get so into going one more round.
9. Skype. It’s a great way to keep in touch with family and friends that live far away. It’s great to be able to see and speak to those we love and miss. It makes them not feel so far away.
10. Taking a walk. We live in a beautiful neighborhood, surrounded by natural beauty. It’s easy to get caught up in the stresses of home life, but a stroll around the neighborhood reminds me about the bigger picture.
