Eating for $65/Week
I get a lot of questions about what kind of food we eat when we’re only spending about $65 per week at the grocery store, so I thought I might actually record everything we ate in a week and share it with you. Hopefully, this isn’t too boring of a post! I thought that if…

Yep, Still Here

I’ve been super busy with my husband’s family’s six-day visitWhich was lots of fun and altogether way too short, but a little hectic at times trying to match the schedule of an active family with teenagers to our toddler-led…

Monkey
Now that it’s getting warm, we’ve been spending less and less time at the ECC, only going on truly dreary days. Instead, we’ve been having fun exploring all of the playground equipment on island.

“See.”
I’ve been M.I.A. these last few days because I took on some freelance work to try to earn money for Papoose. I’ve been working from the time Nora goes to bed until midnight every night and if I can squeeze a spare minute in during naps, so I haven’t had much time for anything else…much…
