Happy Frugal Friday!
Here's how we saved money/spent money wisely/made extra money this week:
- Last Friday we spent alllll day with our best friends down in Charlestown. Rose made lunch and dinner. We brought dessert and fancy coffee drinks for the mamas. We celebrated Annabeth's birthday, talked for hours that passed like minutes, enjoyed the kids' version of "Masked Singer," and then surprised them all with a trip to see the Bigfoot Monster Truck.
- Saturday Mark and Owen went over to Lowe's for a special firetruck day. They saw real firetrucks, got some crafts to come home and build, and had lunch. It was a great free community event.
- Saturday afternoon we enjoyed a friend's birthday party and had taco dinner there.
- Sunday after church we enjoyed lunch at Mark's mom's house. Mark and Luke did a ton of yard work with the help of the little boys. Annabeth, Kristi, and I talked and giggled at all of the adorable things that Oaklynn says and does. 1 is one of my favorite ages - they just have so much going on!
- Mark was off Monday for the holiday. I got to sneak out for a bit to grab coffee with a giftcard and to pick up the grocery order. Even just 20 minutes out and about is such a mood booster for me.
- Monday and Tuesday Owen was sick so we had some low key days around the house. We did get some good fall cleaning done and caught up on all of our laundry while he rested.
- Mark took a custom order for his Etsy shop. We are always thankful when friends reach out to him vs shopping elsewhere.
- I received my two checks from the Fall Kids Sale. I was able to use one of them to pay for an upcoming AirBnB stay. I love being able to sell items we no longer use so we can have experiences we'll remember forever.
- Yesterday we spent the afternoon at the park in the rain. It was so fun to see that even at 11 years old, Annabeh and her friends can still love playing. I had a great time catching up with my friend too.
We are looking forward to a fun weekend.
Happy Savings to All!
