Frugal Family Fun is the ultimate family resource with over 300 budget friendly activities. Amanda Mawhinney speaks about what being frugal means and how important it is in today's times when everyone is so busy and has no time for family. The book will help everyone work towards organizing fun family activities at minimum cost, which are affordable for all. Both outdoor and indoor activities suggested in the book are relaxing and will help to bring the family together. It makes the dreams of a perfect family come alive for everyone, and within a budget!
The book is an eye-opener to many of us and will help us understand that we don't need to spend a lot of time or money to have fun. The author extensively covers the topic and shares a lot of exciting tips and suggestions to have family fun without making a big dent in one's pocket. I find this book a good resource for building up better relationships with family members. The few questions at the end of each chapter are useful in making readers ponder. The guidance provided in the book is very methodical and can be put into practice without much difficulty. It's a well written book that will help everyone bond and reconnect in a better way with their families. It is also helpful in deciding which activity will suit each one's family to make their bonding enjoyable. The book speaks about a relevant topic and is very insightful.
