Today was one of those days. Baby Camryn celebrated being 1 month old by being fussy allllllll day long. I can't believe how fast the days fly by.
Frugal Victories:
No unplanned money spent. This means I did not shop online and I did not go to any stores! I did however pay some bills through my bank online.
I am venturing into the area of writing some e-books with one of my very best frugal buddies, Nancy. We want to write some short e-books that help new wives, new moms, and those new to frugalness. We've been throwing some ideas around like "10 Meals You Can Cook Easily and Cheaply" or "The New Wive's Guide to Establishing a Working Kitchen".
Do you have any ideas for an e-book that you would like to read? We are really trying to narrow our focus.
Added more change to the February Change Challenge container. I should be past $13.00 now. I can't wait to take my change and buy my hot water heater blanket. For those of you saving your change how are you doing? Not familiar with this challenge, read this post.
Frugal Activities:
I listed the items in my pantry. I noticed a few things I do need such as cream of ____ soups. I used the last of them yesterday in my OOeey Goooey Mexican Chicken. These are very cheap at Sav-A-Lot so I think I will invest $5 for them this week.
I did 3 loads of kids laundry in cold water with 1/2 detergent.
Cooked and ate at home for all meals.

I'm joining you on saving all my change for the month of February and just thought I'd make an update and say that so far I've saved $13.85 in change. Yeah!! It seems so easy to do too. Thanks for the great idea.

I haven't counted my change yet, but it looks like a lot in that jar. I'm looking forward to lightbulbs that will save us a bundle.
I think your ebook ideas are great. I think targeting new wives/mothers is a great niche. There's a lot out there about shopping/saving money, but where would you start from scratch? I haven't seen that one so far.
I'm considering an ebook, too. A collection of Bible studies for moms and daughters in the preteen years- choosing friends, leaders, being wonderfully made and dealing with fear. I'm also developing an idea related to a resource for moms to engage their daughters at a young age relating to personal safety as they begin spending the night away from home. Delicate subject, but needs to be addressed early and carefully, I believe. I'd appreciate your thoughts.
Monica,
I think your ideas are great and heaven sent! My oldest dd is 10 and it isn't easy talking/dealing with those issues but it must absolutely be done. I would definitely be interested in those e-books!

I've saved $14.97 and I was sick for 6 days and didn't go anywhere. The only problem is, I don't know what to get to help be energy efficient. We already replaced all out bulbs and we have a blanket for our hot water heater.
Love your blog, Angie!
