Benefits of Gymnastics
Karlie and Brina ready to try out gymnastics
Several months ago there was a Groupon for a local gymnastics class for more than 50% off regular price. We purchased two and gave them to the girls. They were so excited to start gymnastics. It was quite humorous watching them the first day attempt to do a cartwheel, handstand and all the other gymnastic type stuff. It didn’t take long though before they were getting better at the different skills. Here are just a few ways we noticed gymnastic helping in our girls:
- Hand – Eye Coordination
- Boost in Confidence
- Flexibility
- Health & Exercise
Do your kids take gymnastics or other sports? Have you noticed any positive benefits to the sport?   I included a couple other fun pictures from their first day at gymnastics. They loved it!
Brina and Karlie ready for gymnastics….let’s go Mom!
Karlie trying out the high bar
Brina doing the bar for the first time (sorry this is fuzzy, it was hard taking good quality pictures on the other side of the glass and with them moving so much!)

Living on a Budget: Groceries $40 for 4
I thought maybe this week would a little calmer, but it has yet to slow down. In between appointments I was able to make a quick stop at the grocery store. Nothing fancy or amazing this week just picking up a few items before the next wave of crazy begins, ha! Here is my weekly update on our Groceries $40 for 4.
Groceries from Ingles and Dollar Tree
Ingles Groceries:
- $35.02 at Ingels for 2 loaves Bread, 1 container Cottage Cheese, 2 jars Planters Peanut Butter (on sale), 1 package Ground Beef (on clearance), 1 box Danimals Yogurt Sticks, 1 container Philadelphia Italian Cream Cheese Spread (on clearance $0.99), 1 container Strawberry Cream Cheese, 1 bag English Muffins, 1 bag fresh Oranges (on clearance for $0.99), 1 can Biscuits ( on clearance $0.50), 1 bag Blueberry Bagels. (everything was marked down, on sale, or clearance today at Ingles).
Dollar Tree Groceries:
- $1.00 for 1 box Toast’em Poptarts
We were able to get a few items this week. Thankfully, I was able to make it by the store and pick up some items that we’ll need over the next couple of weeks. Thanks for helping keep me on track even in the midst of this busy season!
This week I spent $36.02 on groceries. I was under on my budgeted amount for the week, yay! I was happy to find a few items marked down on clearance. I hope that next week we can come under budget!
It is my goal to give you regular updates on this budget section so you can celebrate the good weeks with me and thump me on the bad weeks! As always you are welcomed to join the journey with me. I would love to hear your story and how you are doing too. The purpose of our family doing this it to watch our grocery spending while allowing us to feed our family, enjoy life, share with others, and yet stay on track with our budget.
Living on a Budget is a series of ways our family uses a budget to help keep us accountable with our finances. Life doesn’t always go as planned. We have used some of the ideas I will be sharing for years while others are ones we are just starting to implement as we continue finding ways to be creative and have fun with what we have been given. Having a plan in place allows us the freedom to be smart with what we have been given, get more creative when it is a tight (week, month, year or a season) and when necessary live a much more simplified life. A budget helps us stay on track so we have more opportunities to enjoy the many blessings we have been given as well as share what we have with others. There is so much more to life than having all the stuff. We may not have the newest or greatest items in our house, we drive used cars, and wear hand-me-down clothing…..however, if our family is taken care of and have love for each other and others we have more than all the riches in the world.
You Never Know….What You Might Find!
You never know what you may find in the clearance section at a store. During a quick trip to BiLo (a local grocery store) to grab a gallon of milk I noticed these two chairs sitting up in the front of the store. As I was speed walking past them to get the milk and I thought to myself that’s an odd place for two chairs and the second thought was those chairs are pretty cute! While standing in line waiting to check out they caught my attention again so I got out of line, went over to them and found out they were marked down to $2 (originally priced over $20). They were the last two chairs and the store was trying to move the final pieces of their seasonal stock. These are the only 2 chairs I have ever bought in a grocery store but it goes to show you never know what you may find when you go out to get a gallon of milk!
When the girls got home from school that day I had the two chairs set up in their room. They were excited and gushing over how “cute” the chairs were. I didn’t have to ask or tell them which chair was for who they knew instantly, that’s one of the joys of having twins with two very different personalities. Since then the chairs have been used for reading, watching TV, playing school and many other fun activities. Each girl has their own chair so their is no disagreements on who got the chair first or who has been sitting in it the longest…..do those types of conversations take place at your house too?!
The chairs are big enough the girls are comfortable, but small enough they can carry them from room to room. I love that they have so much personality with the smiling frog and cheerful ladybug! Sometimes it is worth it to take the extra minute to glance at the clearance section, you might find a something you need or a fun treasure. Although their favorite place to sit when we read a book together is still on our laps, which is fine with me because someday soon these precious days of them being little girls will be a thing of the past!
Living on a Budget: Groceries $40 for 4
It has been a wild week with everything going on and I have been a little more distracted. I know this past weekend I picked up a few items at the grocery store but I cannot remember what they were or how much I paid…….can you tell what type of week it was!? Here is my weekly update on our Groceries $40 for 4.
Groceries from Publix and Walgreens
Publix Groceries:
- $7.43 at Publix for 1 box Maztos (on clearance), 1 bag Whole Wheat Sandwich Thins, 1 box Melba Toast, and 1 bag Rice & Lentils (on clearance).
Walgreens Groceries:

We were able to get a few items this week. I almost didn’t post this week with everything going on but figured it keeps me more accountable when I share my weekly grocery budget especially during the busier times. Thanks for helping keep me on track!
This week I spent $10.27 on groceries. I was under on my budgeted amount for the week, yay! I was happy to find milk on sale. I hope that next week we can come under budget!
