Day Out

Hey there, welcome back.(hopefully)

OUR DAY OUT:)

If you are a one car family raise your hand. (raises hand) 👪✋🚘Yupp, that's us so it isn't an everyday thing that my son and I have a day out. I am not complaining but when it comes to taking my son out more often that's when I do wish we had a second car. Since pretty much nothing is walking distance. So our Day out is quite eventful. Full of Tasks.

First Task:

Grocery List & Menu plan

On our day out I take the time to run certain errands and grocery shop. Fun Fun Fun! am I right! aha not so much. Its been a slow process but I have been trying to plan more>starting grocery list, planning breakfast, lunch and dinner, shopping sales and couponing. When it was just my husband and I we used to spend about 300 dollars every two weeks. (mouth drops) INSANE I know!! So much money for just the 2 of us. Then I got pregnant and expenses began, woah woah we realized pretty quick that we cannot spend that much for groceries. So there began the slow and painful process of reducing grocery cost. gah!(being a housewife was very new to me and since I was away from family we didn't have much help) But if I'm being totally honest it is nice to be down to about 150- 100 every 2weeks for a family of 3(included a very hungry all the time, but picky toddler)and if I'm being even more honest my husband and I do love to eat and snack a lot. Guilty haha. Let me know if you have tips. Coupon TIPS desperately needed as well.

Second Task:

Returning anything that needs to be returned or mail things out. This task isn't an everyday out thing but since the Holidays are close I have couple things to mail. I also have returns for H&M(this is why I have a love/hate relationship with online shopping). Don't you hate when they make you pay packaging to return or exchange something you bought. UGHH,but with this app I have at least I get some percentage of cash back with online shopping. By the way post office is not the most fun with a kiddo, or ever.

My cookies. Son was eating his

Third Task: FUN DAY. Since we don't have the car everyday or much when I do I try to do something fun with my toddler. We don't live close to family so we either go to park or the beach. We also rely A LOT on playgroup meet ups. I was so nervous to join at first but I am so grateful for them. My son gets to play and I get some adult/mommy talk time. Yesterday we went to a friend's house to make some COOKIES. How yummy!! Kiddos got to roll the dough cut out the cookie and then frost them after they were done. A mess for sure, but he definitely enjoyed it as did I.

3 bags to donate

Fourth Task: 

Donating, since I am doing some cleaning and decluttering. Thanks to some minimalistic blogs and youtube videos. I realized that we have too much junk! Three bags full of clothes, that no longer fit, that I don't wear or love. Anyone out there have tips to making the process of decluttering my home a breeze, please share your secrets aha.

Well ladies that was my day yesterday, busy. I sure do love it though. Thanks for getting this far if you did. follow me, comment and email me if you have tips to help a mommy out. Next blog I was thinking about one on my toddler, hope you come back. Much Love.
