Costumes really aren’t our thang, if you know what I mean. We’re like the scrooges of Halloween. But when we got a neighborhood invitation to a family-friendly Halloween party I decided we should at least try to play along and not be fuddy-duddies. But what to do? We don’t exactly store a collection of costumes [...]

Not really! But the numbers are finally in! And for Christmas we spent…
[Drumroll]
$539.09
I really don’t know why it took me so long to post this. I guess I thought I owed you further explanation, like who exactly we got Christmas for and how much we spent on each person and what else we spent during [...]

Finally. Oh, how I’ve missed you all! We logged almost 2000 miles in ten days between Ohio and Kansas. It did rain over the 4th of July, effectively canceling my sister’s Independence Day Bash. We did, however, manage to set some money on fire light some fireworks at my parent’s house in [...]

It’s the night before we officially celebrate our nation’s Independence Day, though you’d think it was already the 4th based on all the snap, crackle, popping and occasional BOOM! going on outside all over my hometown in Kansas. And these are just the amateurs!
We just arrived at my parent’s house and can’t yet answer the [...]

I was motivated by our impending road trip for the kids’ Spring Break, which [...]

… a whopping $715.
Keeping It Real Does that seem like a lot? How much did you spend? Did you create a budget and stick to it? Do tell.
The thing is, despite the name of this blog, The Hubs and I never really sat down and said, “We’re only going to spend this much on Christmas, [...]

Mine, most decidedly, are not.
This comes from having a teenage brother whose nose is stuck in his own DSi (that he bought himself) more often than not. Does that mean his 6yo sister should have one? Certainly not!
She even helped a little brother out, so to speak, and wrote a note to Santa on his [...]

…of course there was cake.
And presents…
Pretty simple birthday, really. Grandma and grandpa were visiting for Thanksgiving, so we celebrated with them, too. We kept it quiet and small. (No extra ankle biters running around, anyway.)
Simple, but not free.
The Breakdown:
Cake mix + frosting ~ $1.50 (with coupons) (baked by big brother, of course)
Transformers ~ $52
