I’ve been getting super nice emails, comments, and facebook messages about the blog. Thank you so much! It’s really encouraging and I’m glad you find them useful. I truly love writing and sharing information, whether it’s financial or my random thoughts. I’m so sorry I haven’t been on the ball with “Monday’s” tips.

Since this is a new month, I wanted to continue my grocery experiment, but have a clean slate for the budget. I love the beginning of the month…no expenses are on the budget. We completely blew our budget last month on just about everything, but that was officially the last month we could afford to do that. This marks our first month without my income.
Well I’m officially 9 months post partum and believe the “baby weight” can no longer be an excuse – 9 months to gain the weight, 9 months to lose it (although I really think it can be lost way sooner).
