So, what do you think? Think I can do it? I bought the four & sugar so I can make bread & tea. That will help out a lot. I'll keep you posted on what I spend the next time I have to.
Dinner tonight was Mummified Chicken, Corn and Stove Top. It was very good. I forgot to take a picture. I wish I had, but we were quite hungry...so it went on the plates as fast as it came out of the oven.
Until next time, stay safe. Oh! Speaking of staying safe, we went to pick up the van yesterday & they are going to have to fix some things that were not right so week 3 without it!
Hugs!

You did a wonderful job!!! I want to say I just came across your blog, and I really enjoy reading it, it is so real and I can relate very well. I also have five children, although I did it opposite of you, I had my daughter first, and then my 4 crazy, oh so helpful boys. I am going to be a grandma the beginning of June.... I can't wait!!!
Thanks for your wonderful reading~~

Robin,
Thanks for your comment. I just recently started my blog. I really enjoy it. Gives me something sort of creative to do and helps me keep up with spending too.
Congratulations on being a new Grandma!! I bet you are excited.
