Calling all freebie finders! If you are looking for a fun, free family activity, you may want to consider geocaching. What is geocaching you ask? Geocaching is a real-world outdoor treasure hunt where players try to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, using a smartphone or GPS. The basic idea is to locate hidden containers, called geocaches, outdoors and then share your experiences online.
Do you want to go geocaching? Here’s what you need to do:
Head over here to register for a FREE Basic Membership. Click “Hide & Seek a Cache.” Enter your zip code and click “search.”
Choose any geocache from the list and click on its name.
Enter the coordinates of the geocache into your GPS Device or in the smartphone app. Use your GPS device or smartphone to assist you in finding the hidden geocache.
Sign the logbook and return the geocache to its original location.
Share your geocaching stories and photos online.

Good afternoon, savvy savers! For this weeks Throwback Thursday’s, I want to bring you a fun, family-friendly find from my own childhood, Slime! If you were anything like me as a child, than watching Family Double Dare was a favorite, and the best part of the show was the contestants who were systematically slimed! Sure slime, that awesome polymer that was presented both liquid and solid statuses simultaneously, was more than a molecular anomaly, it was an event of epic proportions! What was even better? When the stores began to carry this awesome gak!
Oh, the dealing of a kid from the 1990′s.
But why let the 1990′s evade us one day further, when we can make out own slime, and so here is my recipe for homemade slime! Please note, I can make slime for $0.20 a container, per child.
Ingredients:
1/4 cup Elmer’s School White Glue
2 disposable cups
Food coloring
3 Tablespoons Water
1 Tablespoon Borax Powder
A plastic spoon
Directions:
1) In your first plastic cup, add your water and Borax Powder.
2) Stir the mixture gently, then set aside.
3) In your second plastic cup, add your Elmer’s School White Glue.
4) Add the food coloring, in your color(s) of choice, to the second cup, stirring until mixed.
5) Now, add 1 Tablespoon of the mixture from the first cup at a time, to the second cup; the slime will instantly start forming, but allow the mixture to set-up for 30 second before playing with each batch.
6) Store slime in sandwich bags.
7) Avoid placing slime on textured, carpeted, and porous surface.
8) Enjoy!
