Happy New Year! We spent our first night in our new home last night, and it felt like home. Darren and I made the living room with green carpet our temporary bedroom.
4 of the kids are sharing the striped bedroom until we can paint and carpet 2 of the other rooms. Even with 4 beds in there it feels huge.
Tomorrow I will get a few more things from the old house. Since it hasn’t sold yet I’m only bringing over what I can put away immediately. I’m not in the mood to live in a mess again, lol.Ā We had a lot of help yesterday to move the furniture and appliances. It’s just odds and ends now./p
pSpeaking of messes did you see that Netflix has added 4 more seasons of Clean House?Ā I’m so excited!
I’m trying out blogging with a new app on my phone since we don’t have internet service yet. If this works out it should let blogging be less of a time commitment. This year I’m turning my heart towards home while making Grocery Shrink more business than hobby.Ā That means I need to make better use of my time.
I’m off to plan my year and make my January menus. With the move we are trying out some new money saving strategies to reduce our phone and internet bills. I’ll let you know how it goes.
That’s so exciting that you are in a new home. Your pictures aren’t showing up….just the html codes š š Happy New Year to you and your family, too š š Love and hugs from the ocean shores of California, Heather š
I’ve been reading your blog for over a year now, and was floored when I saw you on Extreme Cheapskates tonight. I saw the preview and told my husband, “That’s Angela Coffman!” And sure enough, it was. I wasn’t crazy about how they portrayed you in a bit of a negative light, though. Totally not how I have ever thought of you. But congrats at getting on TV (again).
You should be able to deduct your internet on your taxes since it’s a small business expense š Every little bit helps! You can only do the phone if its actually for your business.
