My mood while writing this blog: blessed

What a beautiful day out today. I think we did everything outside except sleep, and baths lol. I'm so exited that this weekend its suppose to be even nicer. I have been working on several ideas again this month on saving money and it feels wonderful when I add it all up. My in laws even gave Quentin and I money to go out for dinner on Friday night but we are going to make a picnic instead and save the money!!! Ways we have been saving so far...

1. Not eating out

2. Not using any lights till late around 7:00p.m. and that’s only by candle light

3. only one T.V. on at a time (we only have two that we use everyday)

4. I've been riding my bike with the burly when the weather is nice and I'm able to take the girls

5. We are using green friendly shopping bags we only have three but hope to get more soon. At our grocery store we get 5 cents off our shopping order for each bag we bring.

6. We haven’t been using credit cards for 6 months now!!!

7. Eating at family’s houses twice a week once at my parents and once at my in-laws

I’m very proud of us. Finding the simple things in life and going back to basics is so nice. Also when we go to my in-laws for supper they also give the girl’s baths as well so we save that money too. We have always done Sunday lunch at my parents house for four almost 5 years. We then come home and have popcorn for supper. The daycare eats left over’s from the supper the night before.

If anyone has any good money saving ideas PLEASE SHARE!!!
