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 […]

Real Family Budget Update — October 2020
October was a spendy month for us. It was a perfect example of things not quite going the way you planned. Even when you’ve been faithfully budgeting for years, you will still need to make changes throughout the month. Making changes to your budget during the month doesn’t mean that your budget has failed or […]

October 2020 Monthly Grocery Haul
We have had pretty big grocery hauls lately, but October’s was different. I waited until the middle of the month to go shopping, and even then we really didn’t need to go. With the experience of our quarantine food storage challenge and with a garden that’s still producing, we are doing just fine. Still, I […]
Real Family Budget Update– September 2020
It’s budget update time! If you’re new here, for the last nearly seven years we’ve shared our family’s real budget here every month. We share what we earned, what we spent in each of our budget categories and our progress, and sometimes lack of progress, on our financial goals. Those numbers have changed dramatically over […]

September 2020 Monthly Grocery Haul
Since August was a crazy month with getting homeschooling up and going, I didn’t post our monthly grocery haul, but I’m back in September! In fact, I’m taking you shopping with me! Our family of 8 usually spends around $500 per month on groceries, well until 2020 hit. Then we took a couple of months […]
