Welcome to Frugal Fun For Boys!

My name is Sarah Dees.  I am wife to my wonderful husband Jordan (for 9 years), and mom to three very active boys!  Our sons are Aidan (born July 2003), Gresham (October 2006) and Owen (May 2009).  We are homeschooling and loving it so far!  My days are filled with school, feeding everyone, cleaning up messes, and repairing holes in the wall.  I am also a part-time teacher at a private school (teaching violin and cello), so my life is very full at the moment!

I am a Christian, and am dedicated to living a life that honors my Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.

In the midst of this extremely busy season in my life, my goal is to truly enjoy the time I have with my children.  I don’t want to waste time waiting for the next stage when things will be easier! Yes, the physical labor will decrease as they grow, but I will never be able to get these days back. Realizing that my children are gifts from the Lord, I want to love them in a way that honors Him.  This includes teaching them (in academic ways, but most importantly teaching them who God is and what His word says), discovering life with them, and having fun together as a family.

This blog was born out of a desire to share some of our ideas for ways to keep boys busy without expensive toys, TV, and video games.  Not that any of those things are inherently wrong, but new things and more things will never make our boys truly happy!   I have found that our boys are happiest when they are working hard and learning something new.  My goal is to provide quick ideas that are kid-tested and don’t require special materials or a trip to the craft store.  We’ll also post ideas for chores that kids can help with, home school projects, and ideas for Bible teaching times.
