Whether or not you're part of the trend, chances are over the past month you've seen people post about their Word of the Year. And while I haven't had a chance to share mine yet, I did choose one. My word this year is calm. This word came to me a day or two after Christmas, when I was in the middle of influenza, which I caught from two of my children. We had relatives visiting, I had finished a busy weekend of work at Dunkin' a few days before, I had barely finished the Christmas … [Read more...]
Easy 25 Days of Christmas Ideas
December is already full of stuff, so it can be easy to cringe when you see a list of 25 things to do, one for each day leading up to Christmas. But I promise this is not that list!

I can definitely see a summer project being figuring out more ways to save on groceries as we need larger amounts of things! Friday, March 1: Target $6.16 We were out and about, and grabbed a couple things. Jesse needed … [Read more...]
Grocery Breakdown: February 2018
I don't know about where you live, but our weather in February was all over the place. Some days it was freezing, and we wanted soup. Some days it was nearly 80 degrees, and we wanted ice cream. My menu plans were still mostly in the winter weather mindset, but every now and then we changed things up. Saturday, February 2: Aldi $9.05 We needed mini peppers for making nachos as part of our Superbowl feast, and Jesse offered to go to the store for me. He grabbed a few extras … [Read more...]
