Im..

so... I'm EXPECTING!!

I am about 7 weeks along & could not be anymore sicker.
I really dislike the first trimester of a pregnancy because i can hardly keep anything down. I'm getting a little better as the days go by. I cannot wait to officially be in my 2nd trimester.
I'm super exited to add another munchkin to my family. although i am curious.. i feel like now more then i have ever been i am more defensive over my son then ever. He's 4 so i don't know what this feeling is.. has anyone had this type of feeling?

I'm focusing on saving money i plan to leave work for about 3 months before i return. I plan to work throughout my pregnancy as long as my body allows it.


we will see how it goes!

hoping for the best !

My Take On Freezer Meals !

So a lot of people out there say doing "freezer meals" can save you alot of money.
here is my take on that:


first of all do not confuse freezer meals with buying frozen food.
i can say that the only boxed freezer foods i ever purchase are hot pockets,Digiornio pizzas, & tostinos pizzas. other then that the rest of the items in my freezer are items i have cooked & am storing.
I freeze bread,juice,spaghetti sauce,casseroles,& meats of course.
i definitely recommend that you invest in a chest freezer if you are considering doing this.
i bought mine at home depot  & could not be happier with it. I do feel like i should have checked on craiglist first as you can find some amazing deals on there.
Now, I do feel that you should eat frozen meals everyday. for example: since Monday is my busiest day i plan a freezer meal for that day cook Tuesday & Wednesday & a freezer meal on Friday & Saturday.
that way you do not get bored of it.
i can say that the number one thing that i save money cooking & freezing are breakfast burritos.
i make about 30 of them to last me about a month or so for me & my hubby.

hope this sparks some ideas!

How Frugal Was Your Day?

So my day was so so yesterday. I spent 28 dollars at the dollar tree. which is usually what i spend there every month.
