I'm so excited to announce that for the month of July I kept my new grocery budget goal! This is the 3rd month in a row I've been able to keep that new budget. My new grocery budget goal I set is $600 per month for our family of 3. While this may still sound outrageous to some, it is a great start for our family, and also considering we eat almost everything organic. For us this is a HUGE savings because when I would have a typical month of grocery shopping I would spend anywhere from just under $800-1100, and usually on the higher end!

Maybe you don’t even know what’s for dinner tonight, and/or you have littles under foot, or you forgot to defrost the meat yet again! Take a deep breath! You got this! This should go without saying but if the kids are old enough to help-let them! And even insist on it. It's good for them to learn and good for you to have the help. Delegate mama, delegate! If they are too little to help, get them a pot and a whisk to play with and ask them to “help” you make something while you cook. Read on for some other very practical ways your time in the kitchen can be more enjoyable. …
