Update- House and GARDEN

I am sorry it has been a LONG time since I have posted. Here is an update! We have moved. We now live in a house in Grandview, MO. We have been adjusting and learning to save in different ways. I have new grocery stores and no longer have a Kroger :( So no more Dillions posts.

One of the best things about living in a house is MY GARDEN!!! I have never had one of my own so it has been really exciting. Here are some photos to see SOME of my progress.






















We have also been enjoying other outdoor money saving activities like picking Cherries for homemade cobbler :) Yummy!


More money saving posts coming soon. I am going to try to get back into blogging.
