Our June Family Adventure

After we got back from visiting with Kevin in New Mexico (what a trip that was), we had 2 weeks to get everything together for another fun family adventure.

Hubby had a work conference in Duck Key, Fl.  He asked if we wanted to go.  I asked the boys if they wanted to go back to the Keys.  They immediately said YES!!!!

We packed and off we went on our 5 hour car ride :(

Thankfully, Netflix has a cool feature where you can download movies and shows to your device and watch them offline :) 

We get to the resort in Duck Key, Fl and were greeted by:

 A giant fish tank- so cool :)

The boys were really great for the long car ride and just wanted to get our room, change and get in the pool :)  I must admit, the pool did sound so refreshing.

We ate dinner and off to the pool we went:

There were 5 pools- oh my :)  This one was closest to our room and was the popular pool.  We had a great time and were able to see this gorgeous sunset :)

The next day, we went to breakfast.  It was super overpriced.  $25 per adult and $12 per kid buffet.  I didn't want the buffet, all I wanted was oatmeal.  They made me a wonderful banana oatmeal that was $14- YIKES :(  After breakfast, we hopped in the car and went to the nearest grocery store and purchased breakfast and lunch for the remainder of our stay :)

Hubby had his meeting that afternoon.  The boys and I spent the day in the pool having a blast while daddy was working :) 

The following day, I was so sunburnt :(  I didn't want to go in the pool and found out that the resort had a scavenger hunt.  So, while daddy worked, we went on a very hard scavenger hunt.  It took us all day to complete but so glad we did.  The prize was ice cream :)

The scavenger hunt took us all over the resort, I got some great pictures:

I was so excited- they had 5 dolphins.  I could have sat all day watching them :)

The boys not so excited about the dolphins

View from the resort

Love the lovely red flowers on this tree

These banyan trees are all over the place

The Lagoon

The cute Villas that you can rent

The Marina

We took a break from the scavenger hunt for a nice game of mini golf :)

Look who came to watch our game :)

We had such a great time.  The resort was nice and the pool was so relaxing :)  I would love to rent a Villa if we decided to come back.  The Villas have a full kitchen.  The only problem with renting a Villa is that the nightly cost is $$$$ :(  I think we will stick with tagging along on hubby's work trips :)

I can't wait to see where you next family adventure takes us :)

Come Along with Me.........

As I share 4 things our family did to save money over the weekend.

I have recently discovered Budget Girl on YouTube.  She is so inspiring and has recently paid off a giant student loan debt.  Way to go :)

Hubby and I have decided that we are ready to get super serious about our credit card debt.  We have 1 credit card that is huge :(  We consolidated 3 of our Citi Credit Cards into 1. We were hoping that it would make repayment easier.  We have been paying it for several years and have paid down quite a bit.  But it still sits at $7069.31 :(  I am so tired of paying this bill and want it to be gone ASAP. 

We have declared July a No Spend Month.

Instead of waiting until July, we decided to start our no spend NOW.

We started our No Spend Adventure off wonderfully :)

On Saturday, we spent several hours at the library taking a super cool origami class.  It is a big hit and it was FREE :)  The boys had such a great time folding paper and turning it into really cool creations.

When we came home, I went through the boys clothes and got a nice full tub to take to Once Upon A Child the next day.

On Sunday, we went to church and then headed off to Once Upon A Child to sell our boys clothes.  The process was super easy and it took a lot less time than I had thought it would take.  Unfortunately, they didn't take all the clothes but it was enough to pay for 3 pair of shorts for Michael- YAY :)

We ended up packing a lunch and ate in the van while Once Upon A Time was doing their thing.  After finishing with them, we headed over to Toys R Us for their Pre 4th of July Event.

They had Hula Hoops, Remote Control Cars, played Hot Potato, had 2 giveaways and Karaoke.  If you participated with the Hula Hoops you got a Toys R Us wrist band.  If you played Hot Potato you got a beach ball :)

At 2pm, they did the giveaway drawings.  The first number was called and it wasn't us.  The second drawing, Nathan won.  It took a few seconds to register that they called his name.  It was awesome.  Normally, we don't win anything.  They took a picture and put it on their Instagram page. 

After all that fun, we ran into Walmart and CVS real quick on our way home.

All in all, I think we had a great start to our No Spend Adventure.  Can't wait to see how we save money next week :)

Our Shopping Day~ 06/25/2017

I didn't think we needed anything from the store.  That is until we ran out of bananas.  For breakfast, I have been eating Peanut Butter Banana Oatmeal.  It is soooo good :)  And I needed more bananas.  I then noticed that CVS had a fantastic Purex deal with the $5 in ECB's that I had.  Super easy shopping day. 

Here are our shopping trip details:

Walmart
$1.32- Bananas

CVS
$6.00- Purex X2
-5.00 ECB
$1.36- Total with tax and got $3 ECB :)

Our May Family Adventure

The boys didn't have a clue of where we were going.  They asked for a clue.  The clue they were given was this: We have to drive 4 hours to the airport, get on a plane, land in 1 state, get a rental car and drive to a different state.  This kept them stumped for quite some time.

We got to the airport and they had a blast trying to figure out where we were going by looking at the signs at the gates :)

When we stopped at our gate, they figured out part of the clue.  We would be landing in El Paso, TX.  But we didn't know anybody in Texas, so they still tried to figure out why in the world we would be flying to Texas.

We landed in El Paso and were greeted by:

Our son and his girlfriend :)

The boys were super excited to see their brother.  Little Michael had mentioned a few times how much he missed Kevin and wished we could go see him.  What an amazing surprise :)

We had a wonderful time visiting, exploring New Mexico and getting to know Kevin's girlfriend :)  She is such a lovely young lady.  I enjoyed spending the week with them and going shopping :)  They are so cute together :)

I took a lot of pictures and have narrowed them down to our favorites.  Which is still a lot of pictures :)

Here is our home away from home- a cute cabin in the woods :)

View from a lookout

Driving down the mountain

I love waterfalls so we HAD to go on the Bridal Veil Falls trail

Storm is coming

While at white sands, we had to climb up a HUGE sand dune

We had so much fun exploring New Mexico, Holloman Air Force Base and visiting with Kevin and Jeanette.  I am so glad that they were able to stay with us at the cabin. 

I can't wait until we visit with them again :)  If everything goes the way we planned, we will be going on another adventure with them in 7 months :)

Toys R Us In Store Event~ 06/25/2017

Toys R Us will be hosting a Pre- Fourth of July Event on June 25, 2017 from 1-3pm:

The boys are excited about this event.  Toys R Us will have giveaways, contests and Karaoke.  The boys are not big on Karaoke but they are super excited to get to try the Zuru Bunch-O-Balloons :)  They have wanted to try the Bunch-O-Balloons for some time now but I just can't justify the $10 price for a one time use product :(  This will be a great way to try them out :)

We love these events.  They are FREE and no need to sign up ahead of time.  Just show up at the times listed above and participate.  It is great and everyone has a blast and did I mention they are FREE :)

Our Shopping Day~ 06/17/2017

Our Menu Plan for the week of 06/12/2017

How was your weekend?  We had a nice and wet weekend.  It has stormed here, which is very welcomed, at least the rain is.  I could deal without the thunder :)  Our grass and plants have been so thirsty.  It has been quite some time since our last really good rain.  I think Florida forgot that we are supposed to be in rainy season :)  We also spent the weekend packing for our next adventure, which is why our menu plan is short this week.

Breakfast
Overnight Oats with fruit X2
Pancakes with fruit X2

Lunch
Avocado Egg Salad and fruit for me
Sandwich with carrots, apple slices, blueberries and grapes for everyone else or leftovers

2017 Goals 6 Month Update

I can't believe it is June already.  Half the year is already over.  So much has happened and we still have so much planned.  Busy, Busy, Busy :)

I thought it would be neat to see where we are in our 6 month goal update.

Our 2017 goals are:

1) To get out of credit card debt- we are currently sitting at $9,919.34
We are still climbing this mountain.  We are doing great with this but we had a few setbacks.  Nathan and I got new glasses that added over $750 to our debt :(  But I am happy at the progress we have made so far.  Our new debt total is: $8773.39

2) To finally lose this extra "baby" weight- this has been a goal for a few years but some how the scale went in the opposite direction and instead of needing to lose 10-15 pounds that number has crept up to 35 pounds :(
Still working hard on this and trying to work out a new plan.

3) For Nathan and myself to get new glasses.  I desperately need new glasses, we have figured out that super glue is not all that super or permanent :(
YAY :)  We finally got new glasses.  I had been putting it off now for a while.  The final straw is when the other side of my glasses decided to break.  Many thanks to a mini basketball that bounced off the basketball hoop and straight into the side of my face, leading to the breakage of the other side of my glasses :( 

4) To get a new to us vehicle.  I LOVE the fact that our vehicle is paid off and do not look forward to having a vehicle payment but our poor poor van is on its last breath :(  We keep having to take it in to the mechanic and right now are paying $500 a month just to pay off the repair bills :(
We were hoping to pay off our credit card debt before making such a large purchase.  But it couldn't wait.  We sold our old broken down van and purchased a new to us 2015 Chevy Equinox with awesome low mileage.  We hope to have this vehicle for a very long time :)

I was hoping we would be further along with our debt and weight loss journey but things came up and things don't go the way we planned.  I do have faith that we will conquer these battles :) 2 out of 4 isn't bad LOL :)

How are you doing with your 2017 goals?
