1. I have been in an awful funk this past week. I feel like I have barely posted any blog posts with substance.
2. My office area in our house is just "trashed". It is uber unorganized and I don't see this changing anytime soon. The weather has finally turned nice so the last thing I am going to do is organize my office!
3. I "finally" cleaned out the mini van this past weekend and it is already a hot mess again! Ughh! Never ending saga when carting tons of kiddos around one place or another.
4. My normally "mad" couponing skills have gone by the wayside the last two weeks. I just can't seem to get motivated to do match ups and really "analyze" the sales to make sure I am shopping at the "best" store with the "best" overall coupons/prices.
5. And because of #4, my grocery budget that I really wanted to stay under this month is creeping up pretty quick like.
I really wanted to enter the All You Grocery Challenge that starts on June 19-July 16th where you are challenged to spend only $25.00 per family member per week for groceries while still creating balanced meals. This shouldn't be too hard since I easily spend less than $125.00/week usually without coupons.
BTW, I am cohosting a blog hop on Sunday, make sure you come back and check it out. And if you haven't entered my giveaway make sure you do that too. It ends Sunday. Current followers you can enter by leaving comments on the giveaway post.
Hope you all have a wonderful Friday and weekend!
TGIF!
I don't have much substance in ANY of my posts lately. I think is a direct reflection of my mush mind!
ReplyDeleteWe also are in constant state of a messy mini-van. It is clean now, but won't last long.
I've noticed a summer trend going on in the blogging world. Less comment love happening. Where is everyone? On Vacation? Less blog posting going on too. My mind has been very scattered and I'm trying to cram in so much each day. My car is filled with empty fruit snack bags, wadded up tissues, umbrellas, and little girl hair accessories that have been pulled out in the backseat. Life as a blogging mommy!
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your summer!
Many blessings,

I'm sorry you've been in a funk! I understand (all too well) how that goes! Apparently, I've been in a funk, too. For one, I never followed your blog?! How horrible am I? Secondly, I get coupon dyslexia when trying to maximize and "match up" sales. I have good intentions, but it never comes to total fruition!
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, thanks for the hop mention. I sent all the information to you already. If you have any questions, feel free to email me.

ReplyDeleteI found you at the blog hop you are co-hosting and in regards to the cleaning of the mini van... With 5 kids I clean it out and then bam! there is another loli oh look popcorn no Alora do not squirt your chocolate milk!
I feel ya!
I love it!!! I definitely felt this way this week. Thanks for hosting the hop. I'm following. If you get a chance, check out my stuff. IF you like it, please follow back.
ReplyDelete$25 per family member per week seems like a LOT to me . . . no?
