Grocery Spending
Haven't read this, but remembered the discussion here a few weeks ago about cutting grocery spending and thought someone might find it useful (I haven't done an actual budget recently to confirm, but am pretty sure our typical monthly grocery bill is in line w/ the "target" so didn't bother reading to see how she gets there). I've found some great ( Read more... ) -

Pumpkin Patch
We went to Summer's Farm this afternoon. I'm exhausted and will never go into their corn maze again without some other adult willing to take total responsibility for getting us out, but the girls had a blast and are already asking when we can go back. So I guess that's what counts LOL.
