Budget: $70.00 Actual: $45.88 Once again, another super under budget week. But I can’t take credit for working magic with coupons or sales… the plain truth is we ate out so much over the week that I only made three of the seven meals I’d planned! So, that left four meals for this upcoming week… Continue reading Project: Food Budget – Week 12

After being sick, all of the produce and most of the leftovers in the fridge went bad. Really bad. So we cleaned everything… Continue reading Project: Food Budget – Week 10
52 Books in 2012: 6 down, 46 to go!
So, since beginning my challenge to read 52 Books in 2012, I have read 6 books toward that goal. I’m a little behind – about 3 books behind to be exact – if I want to finish this goal on time. In January, I read: Don’t Get Caught With Your Skirt Down: A Practical Girl’s… Continue reading 52 Books in 2012: 6 down, 46 to go!
