I'm around Still sober, still living in a 'dry' house

My second son turns 3 next week, we are keeping it simple, YAY! Getting ready for the big financial crunch of the wintertime...we will survive, we always find a way
This year will be a little tighter, but that's a great thing, since don't want to replace the savings on alcohol with more 'stuff' ...timing couldn't be better for us.

For the kids, will be shifting from a monetary budget, to a limit on the number of toys. I'm thinking 5 each? The amount of kids stuff has been getting quite overwhelming. Though we toss out the 'broken' stuff, doing so barely makes a dent. I find with less trips to the liquor store, there are less trips to the toy store? ?

Also been doing 'fall' cleaning, lol....my own version of 'spring' cleaning, but swapping out the seasons.

Well, the empanadas came out fantabulous....got some good, economical recipes added to the menu, yay me....

Welcome, Jeff!!

Well, that's it on my own personal update

Hope everyone is well!
