My friend, TooManyHats, had this on her blog and it looks like a great way to meet new friends!
Hi new friends! My name is Amy and this is blog “Journaling Back to Joy”. I am mom to 5 children – 4 adopted with special needs and 1 residing in heaven now. I blog about knitting, homeschooling, adoption, grieving, my faith and tons more! I can’t wait to meet you – please let me know you stopped by! 🙂
Overall we are OK – but like many families we are going to be experiencing a cut in our monthly budget very soon. So we are saying goodbye to somethings we’ve been enjoying but are not essential.
Data plan on my phone. When I registered my new phone, our provider told me I was required to have a data plan. I didn’t want it … but then I started to use it! What fun! But that is gone now. Oh well. (and funny that it was “required”, but then they let us discontinue it)
Our big gold van – we hardly ever drive it anymore. We could save on insurance, licensing fees and parking tickets (long story – sigh).
Our pop-up camper – we are of two minds. One says it’s a great asset for our family. But the other recognizes that we’d rather use the time-shares and we won’t have anything to haul it with. We are a bit sad. We did a lot of work on it.
CSA box. I haven’t fully decided yet…and I’m prepaid for July. But I’m not sure I can continue to justify the expense when I look at our budget. :( I hope I can keep it, but it might have to go.
I”m pretty good at letting things go – especially when you realize there is just no choice. C’est la vie!
