  • Low-Spend January: Day 18

    I ordered my almond flour today…so that was around $50 after discounts for two 5# bags (one blanched, one unblanched). I think that’s it…

  • Low-Spend January: Day 17

    Nothing so far, although I do need to order almond flour really soon…I won’t do it today! 🙂

  • Low-Spend January: Day 16

    Nothing!  Woo hoo! Stayed home and worked on organizing the rest of the stuff I haven’t fully unpacked/put-away yet.  Everyone takes nearly 6 months to settle into a new house, right?  Right?

    $196 at Wal-Mart for food and supplies for my eating plan, coffee. $35 from Nature’s Garden Delivered for organic fruit and veggies.

Target (make-up needed for a dress rehearsal Tuesday plus some haircare products because I’m out of good stuff…

  • She’s Fearless

    And she didn’t get it from me! I really can’t take credit.  I mean, maybe I should, because I’m probably the most influential person in her life.  I guess I am definitely doing something right with her.  But she makes being her mom so easy! I admire her so much.  I’ve always been so afraid…

  • Low-Spend January: Day 11

    I did OK today. I spent $6.29 on two pounds of beef, which I needed to add back to the stew I made in order to make sure there was enough meat in it for dinner (after we ate some for lunch). I also spent another $18 on milk. We went to Dairy Queen for…
