Recently, I unveiled my Ultimate List of Ways to Save Money. It's a growing list of all the ways I talk about saving money around the house. Next up, doing a pantry challenge! #9 on the list: Do a pantry challenge every so often Soon after posting this, I received a comment that made me realize not everyone is familiar with the term "pantry challenge." I'm not sure where I first heard that term. It's highly possible I made it up, although I believe I heard about it in a local online deals forum. Basically, it's a simple tactic that I use to save our family $40 per month on groceries. It's Keep Reading

Are you a “Christmas decorations are okay BEFORE Thanksgiving” type person OR do you think Thanksgiving should pass before Christmas decor appears? . . #christmasdecor #christmastree🎄 #christmas2019 #earlychristmas #picoftheday📷 #lafayettevillage

Instagram post 2172893382211500711_613798712 My husband is holding down the fort this week while I’m in Texas for the @mediavine blogging conference. I’m so thankful he’s willing to take over for me with after school activities, cooking and everything else that I typically do as a stay at home mom. I love doing all those things for my family but I also love traveling!! I’m thankful for a job that allowes me to do both things I enjoy - homemaking AND owning a business 💛 . . If you’re a blogger I highly recommend joining Mediavine - they really get it and are 100% in your corner when it comes to making the most from your blog to fund your dreams. 🎉 . . #travelblogger #blogginglife #stayathomemomlife #momtruth #thankful🙏 #southernmom #homemaking #parentingblogger #mvcon19 #blogging #entrepreneurship #mompreneur
Instagram post 2171342747838045453_613798712 Heading to Texas for a blogging conference today (with @mediavine!) and really hoping the weather has cooled down tremendously since that time I went to TX and almost burst into flames. And paid for a blow out that fell out in 10 minutes flat. 😂 . . #texasheat #travelblogger #pamperyourself #straighthairdontcare #destinationtexas
Instagram post 2170175614659711847_613798712 It’s not the clearest picture but it’s one of my favorite memories. 💛 . We were traveling back from visiting my sister in Mississippi where her husband was stationed and we had just found out our flights were canceled. Meanwhile we had a toddler, preschooler, and about 10 pieces of luggage to tow. And I was VERY pregnant with my third child. I vividly remember waddling thru the airport at my wits end while my husband pushed around an impossible huge luggage cart trying not to run over a kid 😬 . . I was so tired I thought I would cry but then Maya stepped into the carry on luggage size checker and we realized she was smaller than a carry on bag....and I couldn’t stop laughing! Sometimes you have to laugh in order not to cry! Especially when you’re pregnant! 😂 . . ____________________________________ #travelfamily #familytravelblogger #familytraveltribe #momof3 #kidsofinstagram #familytime💕 #lovehertobits #cuteasabutton #toddlersofinsta #thiskid #momlife #pregnancychronicles #sopregnant #lifewithkids #stayathomemomlife
