It's time to dust this blog off. :)
I must say that, despite lack of blogging, we have probably lived more frugally than ever before during this past year; however, there is a certain point when living frugally isn't very fun and not real bloggable...plus, I've been a little busy having a baby and adjusting to all that jazz.
We've had an interesting year with job shifts and a new little package, but things are settling down, and, come this fall, I'll be a "real" English professor, and we'll be working on tackling debt while living purposefully, healthily, and frugally...and having some fun in the process.
So, this summer, while I'm teaching a lighter load, it's time to get organized and focused. I'm a big believer in planning ahead, and there are certain things I want to tackle before fall semester starts.
My goals:
**Start working on a bigger stockpile (maybe utilize a corner of the spare room?)
**Resume meal plans (figure out a good system for fall when I work later hours)
**More careful grocery shopping
**Resume Sunday newspaper subscription (coupons!)
**Pick up a new printer and ink (more coupons!)
**Try making homemade yogurt (for the baby; I'm restricting dairy)
**Figure out our fall budget (in process)
**Try my hand at canning!
**Focus on eliminating food waste
Here's to the journey! :)
