April Spending Totals

Good Morning,

How is everyone this morning? I'm working on a few chores, laundry, bookkeeping. Then I'm going to play some with my new toy. The Cricut Explore!! It came last Saturday, but I haven't had much time before this weekend to play.

So I'll be quick with this post.

Grand totals for April:

Grocery: $260.63 (this includes Easter dinner for 5) and actually I received $20 from my mom towards dinner (thanks Mom) so in reality I only spent $240.63 :0)

Kittens: $35.40 (we now have 2) Calvin joined us April 17th. Bailey's getting used to him LOL

Household: $45.24 (awesome!!) I know not every month will be that good.

Gifts: $ 34.00 (Easter)

I'm going to sign off for now, time to switch laundry and make soup to go in the crock-pot for dinner tonight. Then!!! Explore Time!!!! :0)

Have a great day everyone. I'll try to take some pics of my craft time and post them later.

Crafty Post

Hi,

Here's some actual "crafty pics" Yes I do get in the Hobby Room every so often :0)



This is Aaron's birthday card and banner I made for his 21st birthday. The banner came out cute, it's hard to see in the picture. I hurried to get it done before his party. Had some help from Matt and Sarah.

Week 2 Update

Hello,

Totals for week 2

Grocery: $78.92

Pet: $15.36 (decided to break this down from main grocery total)

Household: $7.99

Remaining grocery budget for the month: $110.29 (a little scary, but I picked up meat this week that will give us 4 meals)

Made a new soup this week Sausage & Veg from Not Your Mothers Make Ahead and Freeze website (goodcheapeats.com) I left out the cheese tortalini and I'll add whole wheat penne instead. Very tasty and only 7 WW pts without the pasta. Surprisingly.

Thanks for stopping by, I'm going to try to upload some "craft pics" while I have the computer.
