If this isn't the most beautiful flat lay you've ever seen then I don't know what is. I spent some of my peesonal money today, but it was very intentional. I had an exception for things that I did with friends, but both things I had planned on were cancelled. That left me with a little wiggle room, so today my husband had the day off and had the kids while I ran lots of errands. Wednesday is $5 sushi (which is why I chose Wednesday), so I sat in the grocery store with my sushi, egg roll, tea, and Harry Potter and had a wonderful lunch by myself. $8.00 total spent, and it was well worth it! #nospenddecember #nospendmonth #HarryPotter #sushi #lunchtime #frugalfun #frugalliving #frugallife #budget #sticktothebudget #budgetingisbest #budgetlife
Today's "office" was a stool that I pulled up to the counter so I could finish a few articles while the kids were occupied by their current sticker obsession. Tea in hand I finished one which leaves one to go before tomorrow's deadline. Freelance writing has been an awesome way to supplement my husband's income while still being able to stay home with the kids. Recently, I've been writing about countertops, glass partition systems, faucets, and real estate and love the variety and challenge of diving into a new topic! Do you have a side hustle? I'd love to hear about it! #financialfreedom #financialsecurity #sinkingfunds #debtfree #deftfreecommunity #livelikenooneelse #personalfinance #planahead #frugalliving #frugallife #budget #budgetingisbest #budgetlife #youneedabudget #sinkingfunds #cashenvelopes #sidehustle #freelancewriter #freelancewriting #sahm #stayathomemom #workfromhome #contentwriting
We were going stir crazy today after a long week of icky westher kept us cooped up in the house. So I bundled the kids up and took them to my favorite coffee place where I used spare change for my coffee (the $50 is still unbroken!). They played with the toys that they so graciously supply, and then we headed across the street to the library. I cannot tell you how needed it was for everyone. Both kids played quietly as I sipped my coffee. I decided to check out Harry Potter to reread. And I could feel everyone resetting. Getting out doesn't have to be expensive even in an area without a whole lot going on. Local libraries are an absolute treasure and finding businesses that encourage children to come in and play is incredible. #library #librarylife #librarylove #locallibrary #debtfreeliving #debtfreelife #debtfreecommunity #sparechange #spendcash #nospenddecember #nospendmonth #cashenvelopes #cashisking #budgetingisbest #budgetlife #currentlyreading #books #HarryPotter

Almost halfway through #nospenddecember and my $50 is still in tact! Ive been to town probably 5 or 6 times, times i would normally buy myself a "treat". Either a coffee or burrito, usually. But so far, I've held strong! The exception of spending if I do something with friends still stands, so there's a possible brunch and/or girl's night next week. The inly other exceotion I'm considering is the sushi special at the grocery store if i happen to go on a Wednesday ($5 per roll). Other than that, things are looking good! #debtfreeliving #debtfreelife #debtfreecommunity #frugalliving #frugal #spendingmoney #nospendmonth #nospendchallenge #budgetingisbest #budget #budgetlife #thatbudgetlife
New financial read discussing 8 financial archetypes. When I finish, I'll do a series of posts explaining each type. It's interesting to see myself and my financial behaviors so clearly laid out and to learn how to make my habits and tendencies work for me and not against me! #personalfinance #financialpeace #financialsecurity #debtfree #debtfreeliving #debtfreelife #frugal #frugalliving #reading #currentlyreading #books #librarylife #librarylove #locallibrary #bigcitylibrary #freebooks #saver #savings
