We’ve had a crazy, busy, terrific summer. (I realize that the crazy and busy parts are mostly due to my inability to sit still, and to my inability to say no – I’m working on both!) Things did slow down a bit at one point, and I was looking for something to do with B.G. that was simple … Continue reading The best things in life are free…and close to home! Fortissimo has a very special place in my heart for a couple of reasons. When Hubby and I first moved to Ottawa shortly after we were married, I saw a poster for it at Place d’Acceuil, in Gatineau. If you’ve been reading the blog for a while, you probably know that I love bagpipes. Fortissimo, with its … Continue reading Fortissimo!
Wow, this summer is just flying by. Back to school ads and merchandise are everywhere. Doesn’t it feel like summer is winding down? Before we know it we’ll be sending the kids off on the bus…yikes! Before we do that, how about squeezing in some more summer fun? Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo has generously provided Frugal Fun … Continue reading Win a Family Pass to Little Ray’s Reptile Zoo! We’re lucky to have four great parks within walking distance. B.G. and Bonhomme love them all, but they especially love the wading pool at McNabb Park and the the terrific splash pad at Memorial Park.

As I mentioned in my last post, I’m on vacation, and in addition to all the great free and frugal fun we hope to have, there are a couple of out-of-town destinations on the agenda that I thought I’d write about. They’re not frugal, but they’re definitely worth it! Parc Safari I wrote the draft of this blog post before … Continue reading Road Trip! I’ve been on vacation as of 4 pm Friday afternoon – yipeeeeee! I’ve got quite a line-up of vacation-worthy activites planned. In fact, probably more than we’ll actually be able to do. So in order to start my vacation off at a leisurely pace, we headed over to Rideau Hall yesterday to take in one of the free outdoor concerts.We decided that as long as … Continue reading I heart Rideau Hall It may happen as early as the second day of summer break; it may not happen until mid-August, but if you’re the parent of a school-aged child you’ll probably hear these dreaded words at some point this summer: “I’m bored!” As much as we hate to hear those words,we parents get bored of doing … Continue reading “Bored” is a Four-Letter Word
I’ve seen the Arts Court building at 2 Daly Avenue a million times when walking near the Rideau Centre, but until I started Frugal Fun Ottawa I didn’t know what it housed. As I researched various events and activities happening in Ottawa, I kept coming across references to various art exhibits and performances … Continue reading Win Two Tickets to See Secrets of a Soccer Mom !

I’m always on the lookout for great family-friendly fun. It can sometimes be hard to entertain the kids without straining the old wallet, especially in the summer when school’s out.
