....soon to be 1 car, home equity loan and mortgage, then we are going to be rolling payments over so that what I’ve been paying on my car will get added to the car payment for hubby’s car, and so forth. I’m hoping to have hubby’s car paid off and a good dent taken out of the home equity loan by the end of 2009.

We are cutting a lot of expenses down, mainly by examining everything very closely….I’ve already cut our grocery bills in half and am looking at ways of cutting back other expenses…we’ll see how well I can do at that.

lots of business cards have been given out. I debuted at a local craft fair, just to gauge the interest and there was more than I expected!! I’ve already expanded the product line a little bit, but related items. I am already in the craft fair next March, and am waiting to hear if I’m going to be in the November craft fair. I will also be talking to some specialty stores in the area that have unique items for sale. We’ll see how things go.

given that my oldest child has been cycling various illnesses over the last 4 months, and hubby, darling daughter, and I have also been sick, we have made a decision as a family to switch how we shop and what we eat.

I was going to put everyone on a strict Feingold diet with the hopes that would alleviate some of my son’s ADHD symptoms. Now we are going to go with eliminating the things that DS eats more frequently than not, and anything that has artificial flavorings and colorings added to it. We are also switching over to organic milk, and will be adding in dairy alternatives (right now we have chocolate hemp milk…super chocolate taste, and I can’t really taste a difference).

With any luck, this will help get rid of some of the health issues that the family has been having…..every little step counts.
