To kick off November I decided to change a few things in my life...
First change is sticking to a budget! Deciding to go on a budget has been an on going process, but the straw that tipped the scale would be wanting to go on a vacation for my birthday...
In order to enact the budget a few things will need to happen:
1) Putting myself on a cash budget. Basically I will have a few different envelopes for different things. Leave the plastic at home and carry around paper! This part of my budgeting is starting today...
2) Creating menu's each week. I think I am going to try out recipes from two of my favorite blogs each week, the gracious pantry and Elana's pantry. By doing this I will be able to eat clean and gluten free!! Also it will help when the boy comes over for dinner...
For now those are the first two plans to getting my budget back on track and heading to the coast with the boy for my b-day!
Wish me luck!
