I'm getting on board!

I have been watching the girls from Blissful and Domestic and Five 4 Five Meals on their YouTube channels and reading their blogs a lot lately and they have been talking about the Nospenduary challenge. I'm totally down for a good challenge specially since it doesn't cost anything. :) 

I also like the idea of spring cleaning in January too so I think I'm gonna try and tackle the attic a little each day for the rest of the month. It's really cold up there now so it won't allow me to sweat and feel awful lugging boxes and such around. :) Thats an all around win win for me! 

What I have already put into action has been the cutting down of money spent on my husband's lunches for work. Instead of him buying 2-4 bottles of soda each day and buying lunch out because he says he can't eat a real "lunch" he just has to grab a bite and go. So I've been making him a gallon of iced tea to bring to work with him every day and then I have been making him pumpkin bread and things like that which are cheap to make but he can just grab a slice on his way between jobs and chow down while he drives. I've also been going through the freezer and I got a lot of meat in there that I keep thinking "I'll use this during the winter when my husband is working less due to bad weather and making smaller paychecks due to it". Well it's winter now! Perfect time to start working on the stuff in the freezer. ❄️⛄️❄️
