Blogging and indoor activities took a back seat to fun this summer. Gardening, camping, exploring, showing the girls are beautiful world were all more important. Now going into week three of government shutdown I find myself becoming more domestic indoors. Since we know my dear husband will get paid someday it isn't all that concerning but paying bills is a little less enjoyable.
When I first heard of the shutdown I started thinking what this would mean to our family. What I have found is it means trying to spend a little less everywhere. The grocery store has not seen me as often. My once a week trip there has become every two weeks. The luxury of buying bread seemed like a luxury so I am back to baking. Milk and cheese definite musts but enjoying the fresh home canned food is too. What started out as teasing my husband that I made more money the him now has gotten a little less funny for me. Borrowing from the savings account to pay bills did that.
Overalls guess I am glad the shutdown is going on because it has helped me plunge back into saving with vigor rather than the easy going saving I was doing. Mary Janes Farm is seeing a lot more of me this week. I love my household cleaners I started last year but it looks like a floor cleaner may just get added to the mix and maybe a hand soap too.
