    REFIGERATOR TOUR & GROCERY HAUL – 12/10-16

    12/10/2018 /

      This was probably a bit of a strange month to begin these hauls, but here I am! Last week, I mentioned that I wasn’t purchasing a lot because I had a lot of leftovers and we ended up having way more than I thought we did! We hardly ate on our plan last  week because we were eating up all the leftovers! I thought it would be helpful to give you a peek inside my refrigerator and freezer so you can see why we didn’t need to buy so much. Maybe it will give you the motivation to shop your own stash to make groceries cheaper for you for…

    MY PCOS PREGNANCY JOURNEY (VIDEO)

    12/06/2018 /

      Over on my YouTube, I have discussed a lot about my weight loss surgery. I made it very well-known that I was doing everything I had done in order to become a mother. While I was pregnant, I made the decision to not do updates on YouTube, but I’m totally ready to share my story with you all! I kind of put it all into writing on my PCOS Pregnancy and Birth Story posts, but I feel like the video tells a story that words really can’t. If you are struggling with infertility, specifically with PCOS or post weight loss surgery, then I hope you will take the time…

    $25 1 Week Aldi Haul & Grocery Plan – 12/3-9

    12/04/2018 /

      I love watching people buy groceries on YouTube. It’s shameful, really. I figured I would start filming my grocery hauls since they are my favorite kind of video to watch! Since I do follow a pretty strict budget and people are asking me ALL THE TIME how we do it, I thought it would be helpful to share my finds and meal plans. Check out the video below to see my first grocery shop of the month along with the prices of each item.   Be sure to comment and tell me how much you spend per month on groceries. I am always SO interested to hear how much…

    Our NICU Experience

    11/14/2018 /

      Having a baby in the NICU was one of the hardest things I’ve ever gone through in my life. Scratch that- I will say it was THE hardest thing. You never can quite grasp how it feels to be a mom until you are one. Take that and immediately test it by having your child in intensive care to begin their life, and wow. It’s something that I would wish on no one and wouldn’t be able to explain the feelings I had if I tried. If you haven’t followed our story thus far, you can read up on Clara’s birth story here. In short, she was born at…
