50 No Spend Fun Activities For Girls Weekend
Girls Weekend
Is a highly anticipated look forward to weekend with the girls. Whether you spend each day together or you haven’t seen each other in months spending quality time with your girl friends is a must. Even for Mom’s!
Mom Time Out
Imagine tossing the husband the diaper bag, the grocery list and the honey do list all at once and saying good bye. And leaving the house for 24 to 48 hours.
Doesn’t It Sound Great!
A full girls only weekend full of relaxing, catching up with friends, dining and dreaming. Minus the everyday duties of home. I am sure the first thing that comes to mind minus the “where do I sign up” is how much will it cost. What if I told you nothing or almost nothing!

Yes You Can Do A Weekend With The Girls For FREE!
It will take a little bit of planning but what weekend away from the family won’t. Imagine this drinks, appetizers, movies, games, crafts, spa time, cup and conversation. A few moments to yourself. Time to nourish your soul. Doesn’t it sound great.
Pack Your Suitcase And Head For The Door
Make sure you leave instructions for while you are gone. Email, message and plan the weekend with your closest friends. Suggest hanging out at one of your homes or a cabin or location that one of you have access to, to cut costs. Or go camping. You could even send your family to another friends house for the weekend and host girls weekend at your place.

⭐Best At Home Spa Supplies For Girls Weekend:
Mentoring And Encouragement. Even Mommy Brains Need Education Too.
Are you all business women needing a break away but some mentoring and encouragement. Host some mastermind time during your weekend a way. Mom’s need to learn new things too.
Do It Yourself
Have a DIY Pinterest activity or hire someone to give a self defense class. Is one of you great in something and everyone else wants to learn that skill? You can cut the cost on all these activities by bringing your own supplies or asking for volunteers.
Food, Food And More Food. Oh And Beverages Too.
What would be a girls weekend without great food and good beverages? Come on think about it you can eat food you don’t normally cook at home.
Coffee, Dessert & Wine
You can have dessert and great coffee and wine if you want. Meal plan it ahead of time, what are you going to make, who is going to cook. Shop your own supplies, pitch in and go grocery shopping. Use what you have, potluck dinners. Your options are endless.
Hosting A Girls Weekend
Depending on how many people are coming and who is hosting you could each be responsible for cooking or bringing one meal or one snack.
It Isn’t About The Money, It’s About The People, The Connection And The Time
Girls weekend isn’t about how much you spent or where you went shopping. Girls weekend is about reconnecting with the people you enjoy spending your time with. People who value you, nourish your mind and uplift your soul. Its about giving your mind a break from family duties, getting some rest and having fun.

PS. If a whole weekend doesn’t work in the time budget, the financial budget or the responsibility calendar plan a whole day with the girls from sun up to sun down. Mommy needs her time. Trust me you will be more relaxed and refreshed even if you just get a girls day.
