Happy Holidays ! ---Update

So I Have been lacking in the blogging department, No excuses aside from life happening.

I am at the point in parenthood where i have realized that my life will never be calm or relaxing.
Unless that involves me making a target run at 8:30 Pm and grabbing a Starbucks.
That is relaxing to me believe it or not.

Our Holidays where pretty pathetic. As far as it being different. Nope . The same thing as usual.
Spent Christmas Eve & Christmas day at my in-laws.   However that will be changing in 2015 .
I plan to spend it in Mexico.

Okay so let me give y'all a quick update.


Life: I still work a full time job in our Downtown Business District. Still Hate it. (Working downtown) Love my Job :)

Kids: Still have my 4 babies Allan & Alyssa  And my two fur babies Lucy & Gator.

Hubby is still working hard as usual. ( Love that man)


so yea that is pretty much it, I am still uploading videos on YouTube as time permits.

I hope you all have a wonderful New Years!

Pinching Pennies

Sooooo
I have to say that i have never had to really sit & think about how to "pinch pennies" Me & my husband have always been lucky enough to make money & spend it in whatever we want... That can change quickly..
I am the primary bread winner at the moment since my husband  hours have been cut back... It is really tough considering that we put all of our savings in a no touch basis.

So instead of whining i am going to give you a list of things we are doing differently... we have only been doing this for the past month so hopefully we see some changes when the bills come..

• Laundry Twice a week
• Eating at home everyday & packing Lunches
• One entertainment day out of the week (we chose Sunday)
• No TV all week except Fridays ( this helps the kids get out & play too)
• Making my own laundry detergent
• No sodas  in the grocery list
• 60.00 a week grocery budget (this has been tough
• 150.00 Monthly Budget for Sam's club
• Air dry certain items of clothing to avoid drying (kinda loving this)

So that's kind of all we are doing at the moment...

i immediately saw my money being saved on the packing lunch everyday deal... it really does make a difference...
