Since paying off our consumer debt,  I am struggling to balance the budget a bit.  I found a net budget excel sheet that works great but yet still working hard to make it work.

I thought it would all fall into place afterward but nope can’t be that easy 🙂  Will blog about more specifics soon.

Our family has been sick with a nagging cold lately.  My kids both had ear infections , mom and dad both had symptoms too.  I think we are out of the woods for now but one never knows.

On the plus side by putting our head together we have finally gotten out of consumer debt.  Now the challenge is to stay on budget and grow our 8 mths of emergency fund. 

I am looking for ways to cut our food budget because I know that is an area we have struggled with all along.    One thing we have implemented is only 2 trips maximum a week to the grocery store.  Both my husband and I struggle with impulse buying when we walk into the supermarket.

And so the journey continue to financial peace.

Our family is looking to be more organized this year. I have been working at giving away, throwing away and organizing our home.

I will blog about my progress as a way to motivate other and myself toward a neater home.
