Assalamu Alaikum girlie,

It’s almost summer time, and I’m sure you’re thinking about how to enjoy the lovely weather!🌻

Well, today we’ll talk about how you can create your fun & affordable summer plan on a budget.

But first, here’s how I spent my eid😋👇

what about you?

Moving along, let’s jump into these summer ideas…

5 Budget-Friendly Summer Activity Ideas

1. Picnic in the Park: Pack a picnic basket with your favorite snacks and head to a local park for a relaxing outdoor meal. Bring along a frisbee, soccer ball, or kite for added fun.

2. DIY Documentary Night: Set up a backyard movie screening with a projector, screen, and blankets for seating. Prep some popcorn, grab your favorite snacks, and enjoy a documentary under the stars.🍿

3. Explore Nature Trails: Grab your hiking boots and hit the trails for a scenic nature hike. Discover local parks, nature preserves, or botanical gardens for outdoor adventures and wildlife sightings.

4. Garden Party: Host a garden party in your backyard or community garden. Plant flowers, herbs, or vegetables together and enjoy a potluck-style meal surrounded by nature.

5. Arts and Crafts Day: Gather your art supplies and get creative with DIY crafts and projects. Make homemade gifts, decorate t-shirts, or create your own masterpiece on canvas.

How to Create a Fun & Affordable Summer Plan

1. Brainstorm Ideas: Sit down with your family or friends and brainstorm after lunch to write list of summer activities you'd like to try.

2. Research Free and Low-Cost Options: Explore local resources such as parks, community centers, libraries, and museums for free or discounted activities and events.

3. Create a Summer Bucket List: Make a list of summer goals and activities you want to accomplish, such as trying new recipes, learning a new skill, or visiting nearby attractions.

   Break down larger goals into smaller, manageable tasks to stay motivated.

4. Set a Budget: Determine how much you can afford to spend on summer activities and start saving up! Try doing group DIY projects, at-home game nights, or potluck dinners with friends.

5. Plan Ahead: Take advantage of early bird discounts and promotions for summer camps, classes, and events.

   Research online resources and local community calendars to find affordable options for entertainment and recreation.

6. Get Creative: Think outside the box when planning summer activities. Host a themed costume party, organize a scavenger hunt, or create DIY crafts using recycled materials.

7. Make Memories: Focus on making meaningful memories with loved ones rather than spending money on extravagant outings. Cherish simple moments you spend together at the game nights or stargazing under the night sky.

Having fun in the summer doesn’t mean you have to go to Bali for a week (would be great if you did though🏖).

Sometimes a little bit of planning can make a simple experience remarkable!

Until next time,

Fatimah! 🌻
