Our rainy day activities include the local museum and inddor pool at the YMCA. It was only like $40/year for a kid’s membership at the Y and it’s so worth it.

Thanks for the shout out Trent. Over here, there’s no respite from the sunny weather. Eh, what do you expect from boring old California… ;) Anyway, I used to dislike the rain. But my entire family loves it. So yes, a fort and some board games will do. :)

#3 Maureen,

I enthusiastically second the library idea! We have 2 libraries near us, both with excellent kids sections for our 4 y/o daughter including library pets and lots of activities…spend a LOT of time there on the weekends.

I like the article by the Unclutterer. We all have sort of emotional investment in our possessions. I never paid attention to this aspect.

When I had little ones, rainy days were spent doing crafts or playing with play dough. Colouring in colouring books is terrific for hand-eye coordination and will help when it comes time to learn printing. It would be a great time to go visit the library too!

It’s raining here today as well. Thankfully I’m working the evening shift today on this rainy day. Having a little brother, my favorite indoor activities with him include: a card game, game of chess, or watching a classic movie.

Thanks so much for the link. Glad that you enjoyed my post on living within your means. I feel it’s important that us personal finance bloggers address/explain the importance of money management basics with our respective niches.

That indoor fort goes a long way. Some of my best memories are from the intricate forts we used to build – if you really want to impress, just let them sleep in there!

Yep I agree Trent,

Besides Zenhabits, Getrichslowly and this site, it is tough to find a good website to go to on a day to day basis.

Would you have any other recommendations as to the websites the readers can follow in addition to the ones I mentioned above?
