1. The kids actually went to school everyday this week! And we had an activity every night this week as well. The really exciting news is that we managed to accomplish this with no eating out dinner!

2. We are headed out of town tomorrow for a cheerleading competition on Sunday. Typically we would not get a hotel room for an event that is only 2 hours away; however given the time change this weekend in addition to needing to arrive dressed and ready by 7:30am, we decide a nice room and pool to play in on Saturday night would make the weekend much more enjoyable for all of us!

3. With exactly 6 days into the month, we have already spent over half of our grocery budget with a huge trip to Costco yesterday. My goal/plan is to keep the rest of the month on the low side with only trips to Aldi for fresh veggie and produce.

4. Some unexpected income this month has allowed me to get our Emergency Fund up to date, purchase some wants for both myself and Matt in addition to paying an extra pay to our debit this month as well.

5. We are planning on planting broccoli tomorrow to start our square foot garden. Matt has also agreed to build a composting box this spring to help support our efforts!
