My mission has always been to help families build a strong financial plan, gain confidence with their money, and live the life of their dreams. That is why I created Family Budget Spreadsheets — a bundle of spreadsheets that we personally use to plan and budget our money. Weekly Menu & Grocery List Planner (pdf).

Don’t get me wrong, I’m no scrooge, but I don’t get into the Christmas spirit because of gifts. Let’s be honest: there are very few people on this planet that actually enjoy being stuck in a mall, rushing around for gifts that mean very little, but cost quite a lot. Give an Experience.

I saw that you don’t exchange Christmas gifts with nieces and nephews on your side. Do you also not exchange birthday gifts with them? What did Christmas and birthday gifts for nieces and nephews look like when they were young? Did you give gifts to them when they were little and then stop at a certain point?

This blog was based on my very first spreadsheet, the Family Balance Sheet. That first family balances sheet sparked my love for spreadsheets, and over the years I created many more out of necessity.

I look forward to Christmas and the month of December all year and once it’s here, it always seems to fly by. It is so easy for the month to get lost in the commercialism and the frenzied pace and while it is fun to receive a gift, my husband and I want the month to be focused on our faith and our family.
