May Accountability and New June Goals…

May FLEW by! Wow! I can’t believe I have just six weeks left until the due date! (I hope she is not late! Its hot!!)
Here is how we did with our goals in May…
1. Continue to trust in the Lord as our provider.
The Lord is so faithful. We have been absolutely blown away by His [...]

Here’s the new goal chart!

I just made it! This one is decidedly more girly, but Nate is okay with that. We thought it would be fun to go with a meter type goal management this time verses the thermometer. I just used a brad to attach the arrow I cut from a scrap to make the piece [...]

WFMW– Meeting Goals!!

We made our savings goal! Praise the Lord!
My hubbie and I set a goal for our savings that we were hoping to meet by the time our baby would come in July. Its not the end of May yet, and we reached it! We are so excited and so blessed by the way that God [...]

Our Old Navy Adventure…

Nathan and I braved the crowds at Old Navy for $1 flip flops. I had my heart set on getting a black pair as I only had brown and often wear my black maternity pants. Flip flops would make the outfit more weather appropriate.

Well, we got there just 10 minutes after opening and had to [...]

Tightwad Tuesday- Dealing With The Dumps On A Budget!

I have been updating you all on the status of my husband’s job as he is a first year teacher and budget cuts are happening nation wide in schools. My hubbie got his RIF letter last week. His contract was infact eliminated. His job is now open to teachers of higher seniority in the district.
Already [...]

Making My Home A Haven…

Tammy has a pile tackling challenge for this week’s Making Your Home A Haven challenge. You all know how much I love to organize!! The unfortunate thing is– I’m running out of things to organize! I know, its a major problem in my mind.
I’ve gone through and really thought about what I haven’t [...]

Natural Cleaning Products!

I’ve been looking into all different sorts of natural cleaning products for our home. I’m not super earthy– just a little bit. BUT I am super sensitive to icky chemicals on my skin and in the air. Its only been magnified by pregnancy! I found this post on passionatehomemaking.com (great blog by the way!) and [...]

Frugal Friday– making do!!

We do not have a dresser for Molly and we probably won’t buy one. The budget is tight, and we just don’t have room for one right now! My solution, use what I have!!
I went through all my cupboards at school and cleaned out all the stuff I no longer need. I brought home the [...]

WFMW- Using paper scraps!

I love to make my own cards! I save our family TONS of money every year making my own cards for all occasions. With two more showers coming up soon, I figured I could use some more thank you type cards.
Instead of cutting up a new piece of paper, I went to my scrap box. [...]

April Accountability and new may goals…

This is late. Sorry. I got lazy about this and realized today that we are half way through May and I haven’t yet updated you all on April or posted May goals! The accountability is pretty important to me, so even though its late, I’m pressing on!
Here were our goals from April. I wrote how [...]
