Hi Everyone! In the past I shared a couple posts from my spending freeze. I am happy to announce the end of our spending freeze is upon us. I have concluded the series I shared on my other blog. Each friday I will share the next post in our spending freeze. Once that series is up the next frugal living posts will continue.
I hope you have a wonderful weekend and Happy Easter!

A Spending Freeze
I have actually for just about a year always posted my weekly grocery trips!
Now if you didn’t know, we are selling our house. If you live in our area please share! It is a great house- that’s a whole other post.
Bring on the bills.
But the thing is, we are going to have two mortgages. Let me tell you this though. We were supposed to close on our new house 12/18. Here we are Jan. 1st and still waiting for closing.
This process of moving is a faith tester. Once I heard we were not closing I just got a sense of God saying “I got this.” With finances you know it’s the hardest area to give complete control over to the Lord.
So with our closing being postponed it gives us less time of paying two mortgages.
So with that praise comes the spending freeze.

Our budget leaves us– a whopping $100 a month.
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Are you laughing as hard as I am?!
Seriously. It’s not funny.
