- We all (even Lily) enjoyed our 4 day camping trip to Conway SC this past weekend. We arrived home on Monday (Martin Luther King Day_) to about 6 inches of snow in our driveway. The kids were super excited to “play in the snow.”
- Today (Tuesday) was an official snow day for the kids. The community college even cancelled class! I however worked remotely with a two-hour delay. I am grateful to be able to stay nice and warm and earn a paycheck. The same thing will happen again tomorrow. We are actually supposed to receive more bad weather Thursday night and Friday morning, so this is turning into an interesting week.
- We have our first official harvest from the greenhouse. Matt was able to harvest a bag of mesclun lettuce today. We will use this as part of our salad with Lasagna for dinner tomorrow. Matt was also pleasantly surprised to find that our greenhouse roof of plastic did not break or tear in the sleet, snow and wind. We are now strongly considering getting a lemon tree this summer to keep outside in the summer and in the greenhouse next winter!
- So far this month for groceries we have spent $90.72. Which means I currently have over $100 sitting in the grocery fund. I have trade and left a $100 bill in the envelope to encourage me not to spend it. I am also on track to spend less than $200 on groceries this month. I do have a subscribe and save delivery that should arrive on January 28th but that still should not throw me over the $200 budget. My next decision is to keep saving the excess in the grocery fund until June or use this money to pay for some other items. Right now I want to build an emergency grocery fund of $200 to start with.
- Braxton has been staying with us this week so that both of his parents can work. I will be the first to admit, I am glad daycare is open tomorrow because it is difficult to work with a toddler in the house!
