Happy Frugal Friday!
Here is how we saved money/spent money wisely/made extra money this week:
- Saturday I stopped by a local smoothie place for a protein shake as we drove out of town. I made sure to have my rewards card punched so I can earn a free smoothie in the future.
- We were set to go to Evansville Saturday after dance until Wednesday before dance class BUT a huge ice storm came through so we are still here this morning! Please pray that we will have safe travels back home today.
- The kids made homemade Valentine's Day cards and wrapped up special items for the family. They were VERY excited to give these gifts.
- We spent Sunday in Owensboro and were excited to see many family members there. We enjoyed a take-out lunch. Thank you Momaw!
- On Monday, Annabeth and I had a special day out with Mama. We ran some errands, including scoring an awesome deal at Seek and Find, and had a sushi lunch. We were very excited to see our dear friend Miss Helen there - it has been nearly a year since we've been in to have lunch with her.
- Monday night I grabbed coffee and surprised a friend with a date. Due to the pandemic we haven't gotten together in person for a year and it was great to catch up in person without kids.
- Tuesday we enjoyed a day playing at the house until we went to Lu's for dinner. We picked up Manna for dinner and helped her with moving a few pieces of furniture.
- We were set to head back Wednesday but woke up to some serious ice so we ended up staying! Over the past two days the kids have logged some more of our #1000hoursoutside for the year and really enjoyed some ice play. Yesterday, Dad even built them a bonfire on the ice which they loved.
We are so thankful for the unexpected extra time in Evansville and for my parents spoiling us by playing about 15 different games, providing crafts, and feeding us all week. Thank you!
