That might be the understatement of the year for some of you, but I know that while I was working at Dunkin', there were definitely days where I had absolutely zero time to get dinner on the table. Between homeschooling and errands and home stuff and reading stories and wiping faces and all the things, … [Read more...]
Calm
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.

Grocery Breakdown: March 2019
I feel like I'm finally getting into the groove of shopping and planning here. By "here" I mean in this actual town, and with the current schedule and types of food that we're eating, although that's constantly changing, and the kids' appetites keep increasing. 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 coffee … [Read more...]
