On the last day of our vacation to Universal Orlando, we had a few hours to kill before our flight. Christy did her thing where she finds a family fun activity and this time she came up with fan boat tours. She found a couple of places, but we decided on Wild Willy’s Airboat Tours….
In September we went on a vacation to Universal Orlando. For us, it was a once in a decade vacation due to the cost. We had such a great time that half way through I was thinking, how can we save more money so we can do this every couple of years? I may have…
I know we only have 20 readers at any given time, but I thought they may be done with their Better Call Saul / Breaking Bad marathon, so I thought I’d shoot a post out. I know I said I would do better about keeping consistent with my savings and retirement posts, but I guess…
We are slowly building back up our accounts. We have some expenses coming up that will hinder that, but once we get past those hurdles, we will hopefully have a chance to breathe for a little and let them grow. Our oldest son is getting ready to go into high school. It is an online…
We had a little more of a drop this month due my Father’s Day present (more on that in another post) and a trip back to KY for our oldest daughters choir performance. It’s crazy how quick money goes. We only ate out for dinner and ended up spending $1,500! The biggest expense was taking…
Not much to say this month (you’re welcome) except that we need to tighten our belt back up. Our Savings account is going in the wrong direction. This month in savings we saved our normal $500 and earned $3.05 in interest, but we transferred $4,250 to pay off our credit card. We were browsing for…

We spent $103 at Ripley’s Believe It Or Not in Atlantic City and $113 at Friendly’s for our daughters 7th…
When you say “Cincinnati style chili”, most people have no clue what you are talking about. But if you are from the Cincinnati area like we are, you know that chili cheese coneys are equally as important as air and water. Even though we live in NJ now, we have chili cheese coneys, chili cheese…
As I mentioned last week, I had big plans to touch up the paint on our kitchen cabinets over the weekend. Unfortunately, I never found the time to complete that project. Our oldest daughter had choir rehearsal and a concert on Saturday, and then we decided to go pumpkin picking on Sunday. Sorry for the…
We started back to our regular homeschool schedule a few weeks ago. It’s been an adjustment for everyone in our house. I am trying to find a good balance, while still effectively meeting everyone’s needs. I am taking it one day at time, trying not to loose my mind. My 1st grade daughter is in…
