Have you considered a garden to cut cost?  In these economic times, we may need to go back to the basics.  One of those basic is growing your own vegetables. 

When I was a little girl, my mom and dad always had a garden.  We would plant cucumbers, squash, greens, onions, potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, corn, etc.  My least favorites, of course, were the squash and eggplant.  I enjoyed canning, cooking, and especially growing the food.

As a child, I would marvel over what a little labor, water, love, and God could do to make a meal for myself and my family.

As the seed would sprout into a plant and evidently food, I had the unpleasant chore of weeding the garden, though, to help with the harvest.    However, it was not so unpleasant when I would sign while I did it. 

My mom would tell us stories about the amazing harvest she had and the fun she had with her dad in the garden, so we would get excited about sharing the same experience. 

Another thing that mom taught us is that watering the plants can be inexpensive, too.  All you have to do is get some buckets and catch the rain water coming off of your house or recycle your rinse water when washing clothes.

So if you are looking for a meaningful, inexpensive, fun way to spend time with your children try gardening.  You will be surprised at the rewards.
