We decided awhile ago that we would be doing cloth diapers to save money. Cloth diapers are so different from how they were when I was a baby so I knew it would be easier than years past. We are doing the cheapest option, prefolds, seen above, and a cover. There are all kinds of new cloth diapers like all in ones (the diaper and cover are one piece), ones that have disposable liners, and tons more. However, what we are doing, is not only the cheapest but also the easiest to care for. They … [Read more...]
It’s Here
My Kindle arrived on Friday!!!!I think I'm in love. lol.Most of the free books that I had wanted were still free. I even found a NASB Bible, the version one of our pastors uses, for $5.80.

I can hold it one handed and don't need the other hand to turn pages like in a conventional book.There are also even more book to review though one of my book … [Read more...]
Than Again, Maybe Not
Do you ever wonder why computers just seem to stop working? And why do our lives just seem to suddenly come to a stop when the computer crashes?We got our laptop back yesterday, the Acer.

We tried about 20 times. Finally started. Well, the power cord fell out and Matt didn't notice. The battery doesn't hold a charge … [Read more...]
Big and Scary
Here's a big scary number.$43,336.84Why is that number scary? I'll tell ya.It's how much debt we currently owe. Yup. Wow. I had no idea it was that much.

So I knew we had quite a bit right now but hadn't calculated it out until today.75% of that big number is student loans, 18.5% is car loans, and the remaining 6.5% is the hospital bill for Abby. The need for a c-section definitely made that number much bigger … [Read more...]
May Budget Clothing Shopping
I have managed to get a number of great deals on clothing this month. I have discovered this thrift store in the next town over. I had known about it for awhile but never went there. Always figured it wasn't very good since it was so small and a mill town. Nothing against mill towns but most people wear Walmart clothes, nothing of good quality. So figured the thrift store wouldn't have many good things.Boy, was I wrong. Small, yes, but a ton of stuff and most of it was pretty good. I added them … [Read more...]
