So about a year ago, I claimed I was back and I was going to pick up where I left off with this blog.... Well then life happened, Miss Sassy began acting out and our world went into a downward spiral. Now a year later, I feel like I have finally come out of the darkness. It was a rough year, she has been diagnosised with ADHD, anxitey and has some autisitic tendencencies. We had to quickly pull her from her daycare or she would have been kicked out, she placed in her a daycare that she had been a couple of year prior temporallity and then she started kindergarten and went to yet another new "daycare" that is just for school age kids. Well since September, we have started to come out of the darkness the start of school and her new "daycare" we have seen great strides and she is becoming the little girl that we love and brings us so much joy. We definately have our "flare ups" but I feel like we are getting better everyday. With that all being said, I am going to try to make a go at this again. It is still something that is pressing in my heart to give a voice to us "working moms" in the blog world. And by working I don't mean working the "blog" I mean outside the home, in addition to the blog, and kids, etc.
So I have been reading the Grocery Cart Challenge for several weeks now and I have been thinking if she can feed a family of 6 on $60 a week, then I can do it for 3 on $30. Then I started really thinking about it... With DD's milk allergy, I purchase high end vegan subsitutes for her like vegan cheese, sour cream, soy milk, etc. These things are expensive, but I don't want her to miss out on things like having tacos, and lasagna. So we will have to sacrfice in other areas to make up for that. So I have set our weekly grand total for $40, if I can get it close to $30 even better. But $40, is our max. So here is our weekly trip. Sorry I don't have a picture to post with this one.
