not waste the groceries I buy (read all 3 entries…)
3 months on and going strong! 4 days ago

Been sticking to the menu every week. We just schedule weekdays and have more freedom on the weekends. Also helps with making sure on weekdays I’m not making anything too intense that would push back dinnertime for the girls. This has saved me between $300-$400 a month, and that’s good because I don’t have that much extra laying around!



Sofia
i'll honor this one! 2 months ago

I had up 43things on my computer and my 5 year old typed her name on the screen and pressed enter…so now it’s goal! I think I’ll leave it just to remind me to honor her and pay attention to her needs.

Another 1/2 box 2 months ago

Wow, this is a huge task…and messy! Shreds of paper everywhere. I’ve done another 1/2 box and pulled all staples/clips/etc out of the other 1/2 so should go faster. Each box make about 3-4 garbage bags of paper!!! New goal is to move business to digital and use less paper!
