Frugal Accomplishments so far.. and catching up.

I've been a bit of a slacker when it comes to posting... but I'm going to try to get better. These three online classes are kicking my tail.

My sister in law paid for everyone to go to the beach as our Christmas presents. It's a little over four hours away. We went the weekend after New Year's. It was so nice, we pretty much just paid for food.

Our attempt at a family picture. Bentley is almost 3 and Harper is 6 1/2 months. At least my husband was smiling nicely.

We have decided that we are going to follow Dave Ramsey's version of money planning, so I've been tightening up our budget. Our goal is to be debt free!

Rice and beans!!



I stocked up on deodorant at 88 cent apiece.

I did not use all my financial aid at school, so I will be receiving a refund check of about 500$ in April.

I stocked up on laundry detergent at a good price. I've not had good luck with the homemade version and getting out stains.

It's been below 30 degrees here and I've been keeping the heat down and heating the living room, where we stay most of the day, with a small heater. It doesn't cost much to run.

We potty trained our son. He will be three in February, No more diapers to buy for him!

 My sweet babies!

I stayed home pretty much since we went to the beach. It saves on gas and I get a lot done around here. Even if it does get trashed in just a few minutes :)

Hopefully this week will be a little more productive!
