If you can’t afford it, do something else. Instead of taking the family to a movie, have a home movie night with friends and family. Instead of taking the family to a professional sports game, attend a little league game near your home and cheer on the neighbor’s child.
Family Balance Sheet

Like many across the globe, my family’s finances are a bit unstable due to the Coronvius Pandemic. My second prayer is that my family gets through this crisis financially. More family time! My family has eaten together almost every night during this time. Kids in the kitchen. Creative Entrepreneurship.

I live in the Midwest with my family. I have 11 kids, ages 9-29, and two cats. I like to bake and read, and I spend time chauffeuring kids to activities and games. I volunteer at my kids’ school at lunch time and other events. Why do I want to save money? I’ve been doing it for 28 years now?)

Right now, making do with what we have seems more important than ever. Even if you and your kids have a passion for crafting, you might not feel comfortable racking up a steep bill at craft stores like you used to. These six projects have the added benefit of being kid-friendly so that they can craft alongside you.

I decided to be productive in those early morning hours and I updated our Family Balance Sheet and that’s when I realized why I was so antsy. However, I’m still in love with Instagram and I just started a profile for Family Balance Sheet. This will always be a work in progress for my family. Moving on to 2020!

The family behind us, for instance, lived for years in their basement with their brood of kids (they ended up with around 15 I remember). Grandma put us kids to bed in the south bedroom when we stayed over at the farm. They used the berries to make a purple die and painted their own and each others bodies with it!

We bought a used pop-up several years ago and it was one of the best decisions for our family We absolutely adore camping, and we’d like to upgrade to a travel trailer. I’m curious to see how much we can save and also how creative we can get by making do with what we already own or looking for things at a thrift store.
