Happy New Year!  We went pretty much the whole year sticking to the monthly meal plans.  It has helped us out so much financially and by making us eat healthier meals than what we would if we ate out all the time.  Here's our meal plan for the last month of 2018.

All most to the end of the year and still going strong with staying with our monthly dinner meal plans.  November and December are probably the months were most families fall off the sticking to a meal plan wagon with all the different holiday events going on.  We have actually been doing well with sticking to the plan.  Here's our dinner meal plans for November.

We are on our 6th year of doing this Christmas countdown.  It really has become a fun family tradition.  Hopefully this year Michael will start reading the books on his own.

This will be the third year of us watching Christmas movies as a Christmas countdown.  Over the years I have collected well over 24 Christmas movies and the collection is ever growing.  That's what happens when you and your kid love Christmas!  This will most definitely be a family tradition that my son will carry on with him.

I have joined up with a few other Disney loving moms and fellow bloggers to bring you not only the best things that Walt Disney World has to offer, but also some of the worst.  When I think of it, worst is actually a pretty harsh word to use along with Disney.  Let's call it more of least favorite things about Walt Disney World.  Here we go.

Ever since we started this journey of financial freedom we're on, we've been cooking meals at home.  After awhile you start to get sick of eating the same meals over and over again.  With that in mind, I took to Pinterest to find something new to make that even my picky eaters would eat.  Being mostly made in the crock pot/slow cooker was just an added bonus.

Meatloaf is one of those meals that brings me back to my childhood.  Since it was my dad's favorite meal and a rather cheap meal to make, my mom would make it frequently.  Now that I'm married and a mom, I love sharing things of my childhood with my family.  I hope that Michael, once he starts liking hamburger, will have fond memories like I do when eating meatloaf.

It was a long time before we broke down and got an Amazon Prime membership.  Jon actually signed up to help save his grandparents a few bucks when he was build a computer for them a few years ago.  We decided to keep it because of some the added benefits of having a membership.  Today, Prime Day, is just one of many of those benefits.  Let me tell you more of what we like as well as give you a run down of some of the deals I've found so far.
