Happy Twosday – 2.22.22
Wishing you a very happy “Twosday”! If two is your lucky number, I hope you go out there and live it up big today(maybe play the lottery?!)! In honor of this special date, (and the fact it falls on a Tuesday!) I thought it would be fun to share two of my favorite things from a handful of random categories!

Happy Wednesday! Hope your week has been off to a great start! We are hanging in there over here! So happy that I had set yesterday to be a day in the life post months ago because it turned out to be a memorable day! This definitely was a way different type of day compared to what we’ve been used to in the past. Andrew would normally be home, but due to a new position at work – he was back in the office and things were definitely a lot different!
So, let’s jump into our Tuesday!
I normally wake around 5:45 am, but this particular morning Andrew was up, so I decided to get some things done early too!

Happy Friday! Wowsers, the kiddos ended up having a five day weekend last week, so this week meant I needed to play a little catch up around the house and handle some tasks that were put on the back burner. Excited for a fun weekend – Audrey has a play date with a friend Saturday morning and the boys are going to be at my brothers (so I can reorganize our bedroom!), the father/daughter dance and the Superbowl – just to name a few things that are happening!
Of course, I’m linking up with some of my favorite bloggers to share some Friday Favorites with you all!

Another snow day for us here! Hope everyone is staying safe and soon able to enjoy all that snow as the storm passes! Andrew and I were supposed to head out this afternoon to a concert, but they made an announcement that they were rescheduling the concert, which we appreciate. So now, our day looks a little different, but excited to stay cozy with the kiddos and possibly go sled riding!

Hello Thursday!! As with the rest of the US, we are gearing up for some heavy snowfall today. We got a wintery mix of rain/sleet and ice last night and they’ve been telling us to gear up for the snow! Trying to stay cozy and safe during the storm and also will enjoy spending the day with my crew celebrating my birthday! They are home today with a snow day!
How did another year just come and go?! It does feel like forever ago though celebrating my 30th last year! Anyway, in honor of the bday, I felt like sharing 31 things about me! I’ve been wanting to do one of these posts for a while as a little intro for any new (or existing) readers here!
Read moreTip Jar: RECAP No Spend January Challenge
It’s February 1st, which means the NO SPEND JANUARY challenge is officially complete. Today I’m sharing a recap of the challenge – some of the successes and some of the failures/updates that need to be addressed. I might even extend this into February and March, which are two more months where there isn’t much going on and we should utilize this in order to save BIG TIME
I know I mentioned this before, but summer can get crazy and the budget is even more difficult to figure out. The kids are home, spending ticks up a little bit – i.e. grocery budget increase, pool maintenance, having family and friends over, cookouts, parties and going to parks, on little trips, etc! These winter months are the perfect time to try to save as much as we can to make up for a variable summer.
