Bj and I did another no spend month this September. We did this last year, and LOVED it. It was a great way to reset our goals and priorities. Just like last year we gave ourselves $400 to spend on essentials. We came in way under budget and it was even easier than last time. …

Non toxic cleaner to make with your kids
Tuesday had a blast making a bunch of non toxic all purpose cleaner a few days ago. I think getting to use SHARPIE (!!!) on the labels might have been her favorite part. I swear I shared this at some point on this blog, but searching comes up with zero. And I was asked for …
