Come Along with me.....
As I show you what we did over our No Spend Weekend :)
First we headed to the library to pick up some requests that were ready.
First we headed to the library to pick up some requests that were ready.
We have been enjoying the cool beautiful evening weather here in Florida.
The boys are loving riding their bikes. We are so happy to be getting some exercise as a family :)
The boys were looking for something to do. They decided Monkey in the Middle was a great game to play. That quickly became Michael in the Middle- LOL :) I found some water balls in the garage and thought that maybe it would be a good idea to use them for Monkey in the Middle.
What was I thinking? What did I think was going to happen if I gave boys a bucket of water- hmmmmm :) I can't imagine~ LOL :)
Monkey in the Middle was abandoned for a water ball fight that led to the bucket of water getting dumped on someone's head.
They were wet but boy did they have fun :)
We have really been enjoying our No Spend Weekends together :) I can't wait to show you what we do for our next Adventure :)

Come Along With Me...........
As I show you what we did over the 2nd weekend of our No Spend Month :)
We started out this weekend with a trip to our library. We picked out books and movies for our homeschool week for our 2nd grader :)
We also ran out of duct tape constructing our pool noodle playground :) Here's what we have so far:
We all had a blast. I can't wait to show you what we get into for our No Spend Weekend Adventures :)

Our Shopping Day~ 03/19/2017
I have really been enjoying doing our grocery shopping every 2 weeks and making do with what we have on hand. Since we already did our 2 week shopping last week, we were not due for another trip. We have plenty of food to last us for this week. However, I noticed a few items at CVS that were a really great price that we could use. I also received an email from Walgreens last month stating that if I didn't make a purchase in the next 30 days my points would expire. I have $5 in points that we decided to use. Since we only had $0.76 left in our HBA budget and $6.54 left in our grocery budget, we decided to use part of our leftover grocery budget to cover the overage instead of borrowing from next month's HBA budget.
Here are our shopping trip details:
Walgreens
$8.00- Herbal Essence conditioner X3
-5.00 in points
$3.48- Total and got $3 RR
CVS
$3.99- Colgate mouthwash

This trip will be included in our March Monthly Spending Post. Our March Monthly Spending Post will be where we document all we spend over the course of the month.

Come along with me....
As I show you what we did over the weekend of our No Spend Month :)
The boys were super excited with the assembly line that we made to make our cookie mix bags. I had gotten the idea from Fake it Frugal to make these super cute cookie mixes. That way all we have to do is dump the bag and the 3 wet ingredients in a bowl, mix, bake and enjoy :)
We made 4 of each: Brownie, Chocolate Chip cookies, Oatmeal Cookies and Sugar Cookies :)
They are so good. I won't tell you how many baggies we have already made and devoured :)
Remember those pool noodles we had sitting in the garage?
Hubby and I, with the help of Pinterest have come up with some really cool ideas for all those pool noodles. It has tested our patience. Have you ever tried to duct tape a pool noodle together? Definitely a 2 person job and even that doesn't hold sometimes. While we are working on our creation, we set this for the boys to enjoy while they wait:
We gave them a soccer ball and had them go in and out each noodle. That worked for a while. Then they decided that they wanted to run through them and they wanted us to time them. What a great way to tire them out :) Even the next door neighbor's son thought it was the coolest thing ever :)
We stayed at home and had a great time. I can't wait to show you next week's stay at home projects and to see how far we have come with our pool noodle creation :)

Our Super Big Purchase
We were hoping to have our credit card debt completely paid off before making this super big purchase. Unfortunately, that didn't quite happen.
We finally got to the point where we had to purchase a new vehicle. Our old vehicle was making frequent trips to the auto mechanics and had become quite unreliable :( Our old vehicle had racked up quite the balance in a short amount of time. We were paying our mechanic twice what our vehicle payment is now just to avoid paying interest.
We did pay our mechanic bill off first and then decided what we could do for a down payment on a newer to us vehicle.
We were also looking to down size from a mini van to a smaller vehicle, since we have recently down sized to a family of 4.
We said goodbye to our 12 year old well loved and dinged up paid off mini van:

I was sad to see our old mini van go. We had lots of fun road trips but wasn't a fan of its constant need to visit its new bff- the mechanic :) I was super happy not having a car payment but knew this day was coming. We had hopes and dreams about being able to pay for our next vehicle in cash. That didn't happen either. But it was something our family truly needed and I am super grateful that we didn't have to touch our emergency fund :)
After driving our new vehicle, I am in love with it and look forward to creating awesome memories in the future :)
We are still on track with paying off our credit card debt. We just hit a bump in the road and it will take us a little longer to tackle. We have faith and will get rid of that ugly 4 letter word- debt :(

Our Shopping Day~ 03/11/2017
My oldest son wanted to come grocery shopping with me on Saturday but he had to work in the afternoon. My solution was to get up early so that we could get to the store right when they opened. Then we would be back in plenty of time for him to get to work. I get up super early, get ready and eat only to learn that he stayed up way to late and is now bailing on me :( No worries. I was ready to go by myself but my hubby volunteered to come with me so I wouldn't have to go alone :)

What can I do with Pool Noodles?
We purchased these pool noodles a while ago with huge plans for them :)
Life happened. We got busy and there they sat in the garage. We have some ideas of what to do with them but were wondering if any of you had any interesting ideas to share.
What do you think we could do with 40 pool noodles? Leave me a comment and let me know your ideas. I would love to hear all about them.

March 2017~ 30 Day Challenge
For our March 30 Day Challenge, our family has decided to have a No Spend Month :)
We made a very big purchase last month and nearly cleared out our checking account. We were hoping to be able to put off this major purchase until after we had our credit card debt completely paid off. Well, that didn't happen. Thankfully, we didn't touch our emergency fund. But we are in desperate need of a financial reset :)
For our No Spend Month we have chosen to:
-To stay close to home so that we can lower our gas budget
-To do as many activities at home~ they are FREE at home :)
-To do a pantry, fridge and freezer challenge
-To only shop twice a month
-No eating out
We hope to use the money we will save to put a nice big dent in our credit card debt. We shall see :)

February 2017 Challenge Update
The February goal I set for myself has come to an end. How did I do?
I challenged myself to complete Jessica Smith's 4 week HIIT for Beginners program. There were definitely days I wanted to give up. There were days I had to do the modified versions of the exercise. There were days I didn't even want to do any type of exercise at all. I didn't give up and I didn't give in. I pushed myself to do my very best and I completed the 4 week program. On the flip side, there were workouts I actually loved doing, which made working out for that day much more enjoyable. I am so very proud of myself for seeing it to the end.
Now what does that mean for my weight loss goals? Absolutely nothing. I lost 0 pounds this month. That alone would discourage a lot of people into giving up and quitting. But I choose to see the positive. While I didn't lose any weight, I didn't gain any either :)
I know very good and well why I didn't lose any weight. I allowed myself to enjoy all sorts of tasty and yummy desserts and snacks~ Mmmmm. It's all about baby steps. I am still eating a healthy breakfast and lunch. I will continue to exercise. If I do too much all at once, I get over whelmed, will quit and will lose all my progress. So I am choosing the slow and steady rate~ baby steps. I know I will get there.
If you chose to complete Jessica Smith's 4 week HIIT for beginners right along with me, how did you do? I would love to hear all about it :)

This is where I will keep a track of what our monthly spending looks like. This month, we decided to do something a little different. We are going to take out $260 for the month and divide it.
