Success

We've had a pretty low-key weekend so far...A little bit of cleaning, little bit of organizing, and lots of swimming.  The boys went swimming twice today!  The pool totally makes up for having to live in an apartment.  Jeremy had to work a little this morning so the boys and I headed to town with my $22 to get our groceries for the week.

When we moved here, I started a budget and my goal was to keep under $200 for two-weeks worth of groceries.  I created a three-week meal plan (in case we don't make it to the store at the end of two-weeks and because my OCD won't let my pantry get too bare) and it's been awesome.

Now I've got $1.30 left but enough food for all our meals this week plus about 3-4 more.  The boys (and me) were turning into fast-food junkies for this has helped us immensely.  We've only ate out twice, our Saturday night treat, since we've moved here!

Today was also my day to clean the boy's room. When we moved here, I divided our house into 7 sections and tackle one section each night. It's so much better and easier than having to waste a whole weekend cleaning. And this way I can clean a room top to bottom (even the vents and windows) and it only takes 30-45 minutes each day

Now it's movie night and time for pop-corn and a flashback from the 80's & 90's. So far the boys have been introduced to Footloose and Over the Top! I remember watching Dirty Dancing when I was much younger that Austin but I don't think we're quite ready for that.  Ha!

XOXO,
