Save Money by Cutting Your Family’s Hair

July 1, 2022 by Stephanie 71 Comments

Updated! Originally published June 23, 2014. Over the weekend, the boys in our family (my husband and four boys) got much-needed haircuts.  It probably won’t surprise you that we take care of these haircuts ourselves at home. Cutting our family’s hair happens to be a family tradition. Growing up, my mom always cut my hair […]

🍅The Best Way to Can Tomatoes: Tomato Puree 🍅

June 29, 2022 by Stephanie 34 Comments

Originally published November 22, 2013 The first time I canned tomatoes I was about 9 months pregnant.   I got tomatoes ridiculously cheap at an Amish produce auction when we lived in the Midwest.  I was eager to make quarts and quarts of spaghetti sauce because we use it all the time. I ran the […]

May 2022 Family Budget Update

June 22, 2022 by Stephanie 2 Comments

After being out of town for most of April, we’re back to a more normal budget in May, though there are definitely signs of inflation in most categories. We have been more haphazard with our grocery shopping rather than doing one big monthly grocery haul and that shows in our spending. We also have been […]

April 2022 Family Budget Update

May 9, 2022 by Stephanie 3 Comments

April was definitely not a normal month for us. We spent three weeks on a 6,000-mile cross country road trip. We drove as far as Niagara Falls with lots of stops to see sights and visit friends and family along the way. Mike used accrued paid time off so he didn’t have to work at […]

March 2022 Family Budget Update

April 30, 2022 by Stephanie 2 Comments

We spent most of April on a cross country road trip, so I’m pretty late in getting March’s update posted. The good news is that April’s update will be posted very soon. As you’ll see in a second, we got a big tax refund in March. That will be going toward our solar goal when […]

January 2022 Family Budget Update

March 26, 2022 by Stephanie 6 Comments

Electricity is going waaaay up! (Our new financial goal)

February 28, 2022 by Stephanie 17 Comments

I’ve been delaying our January Family Budget Update because first I wanted to share our big new financial goal. In December’s family budget update I mentioned that we will have a new financial goal with the new year, and it’s big enough that it deserves it’s own post to explain. After paying off six figures […]

Cost Breakdown for Our 10-Day Washington DC Trip – Family of 8

January 24, 2022 by Stephanie 42 Comments

In November our family of 8 took an amazing 10-day trip to Washington DC.  It was our first family trip flying instead of driving! Mike and I had visited Washington DC (just the two of us) two years ago, but felt like we barely scratched the surface. We knew it was something the whole family […]
