My intent is twofold: to hold me accountable with our grocery spending and to give some ideas and insight into how we eat on a budget. My oldest daughter has started to sit down with me weekly and plan our menu. My other daughter, however, just looks at something and decides she doesn’t like it and will not eat it.

So when our oldest daughter was born 7 years ago, we were over-joyed.and maybe a bit overwhelmed. Right after our daughter was born, I read an article in the newspaper that tugged at my heart and my postpartum hormones. That first year, the family was a single mother whose infant son was born just a few days before our daughter.

It’s only been a couple of weeks since my grandson was out of school, but he is already bored and driving my daughter crazy at the same time. I’m a huge fan of hand-held fans (no pun intended)! Time to check Pinterest for crafts for kids. Probably because they remind me of pre-airconditioning summer days.
