Regular life has been so full lately that I’m a little late reporting our budget update for March. Between working on our garden and orchard, homeschooling the four older kids while taking care of the two littles, and helping the kids with a major entrepreneurial endeavor, I haven’t spent much time around the blog. But […]
Real Family Budget Update– February 2021
It’s time to share our February budget update. We hit a milestone this month with our mortgage payoff goal. We have now paid off over $100,000 of our mortgage since we set the goal 28 months ago. We are not on track to get it paid off in the five years that we had originally […]
Frugal Feats, Flops, and Funnies: Kids and Kale Edition
Several years ago I had a series on Six Figures Under where I would share our weekly frugal adventures. My daughter was reading through some of those posts recently and told me I should share more fun stories, not just boring budget updates and grocery hauls! While the 13-year-old crowd isn’t my target audience, I […]
Real Family Budget Update– January 2021
It’s time for another monthly budget update! Well, maybe past time, but better late than never! It still blows my mind that we’ve been sharing our budget updates here for over seven years. Our budget has changed a lot from back when we were in six figures of student loan debt. I never expected to […]
February 2021 Grocery Haul
Hey friends! I’m back with another monthly grocery haul! I took a break from sharing our grocery shopping in January because I was focusing all of my blogging time and energy on working with my Grocery Budget Hero students. I really had a great time sharing all of my strategies for having a low grocery […]

Real Family Budget Update — December 2020
Happy New Year friends! It’s time share our real numbers budget from December and tell you how we finished off 2020.

I’m really excited to share with you what I’ve been putting my time and energy into lately (in addition to, you know, feeding my family and homeschooling four of our six kids!). Back in 2020 I conducted a survey of my blog readers and YouTube viewers to get to know you better, find out what […]
December 2020 Monthly Grocery Haul
I debated about doing a grocery haul this month. Not just a post/video, but doing a grocery shopping trip at all! We have lots of produce from our summer and fall garden and plenty of food storage. There wasn’t really much that we needed, but I went ahead and shopped just to replenish our food […]
Real Family Budget Update — November 2020
I’ve been a little quiet around here because I’ve been crazy busy homeschooling my 4 older kiddos (K-7). I definitely underestimated the time and energy it would take, but overall it is going well. But you know me well enough to know that even when life is busy, we still take time to keep a […]
