Fun Ways to Spend Time with Family at Home
Having a night in with your family is a great way to save money and bond. As long as you’re doing activities together instead of staring at screens alone, it’s a chance to reconnect after a long day. Here are fun ideas for the whole family to enjoy quality time together:

Pick two judges and let everyone else compete to see who’s the best performer. Make it more exciting with a karaoke machine and invite friends over.
Camping in the Backyard
Pitch a tent, play outdoor games, grill, make s’mores, and tell stories under the stars for a fun night.
