A Grocery Haul and What’s Worth a Little Extra

Groceries are one of those things I find oddly fascinating. Probably because everyone needs to eat, grocery prices vary so much around the world, and food is one of the most flexible categories when it comes to saving money. I genuinely love seeing what other people buy, choose to prioritize, and tricks they use to stretch their budget.

For our family, some items are totally worth spending extra on (helloooo good coffee!), while others are easy places to save. We don’t meal plan, clip coupons, or have any revolutionary strategies, but over the years we’ve slowly found a rhythm that works for our family.

A Day in The Life of A Mom of Three

Welcome my sister, Hannah, to the blog today! She’s a working, homeschooling mom of three kids ages three and under. She last shared a day in her life in 2013, when she was 15-years-old and in high school. Needless to say, a lot has changed in the past ten years 😉

Without further ado, here’s a day in the life of Hannah.

4:30 am My alarm is going off. Did I get up? Nope 😂 Titus, my baby, is going through a sleep regression or growth spurt or something and has been getting up around 2:00 am to eat every night. I’m giving myself some grace… 25 minutes of it to be exact.

4:55 am Out of bed I rolled!

5:00 am Josh is switching the laundry for me, like the lovely husband he is. I helped him with the last couple of pieces and headed upstairs to do a quick workout

5:30 am The best time of the day… Bible Study and praying with Josh before he leaves for work.
