    Thank you for talking about supporting foster/adoptive families! We are a foster family and have adopted 3 kiddos from foster care. We currently have 4 kids under 7. You’re so right about bringing meals, etc. to foster families. That would have been so nice when we accepted new placements. You are a great friend and I’m sure your friend truly appreciates your support!

    I remember my arm coming out of socket when I was a kid and it was *incredibly* sore and ached for days afterward. The tendons and ligaments can tear. It happens because kids socket joints are not completely formed, so we need to *never* pick up or swing kids by their arms. Glad your LO is ok now.

    Ruby has grown so much! What fun!
    That’s a bummer about the tires! We’re on a spending freeze! We have a good hunk of debt we are hopefully paying off in a years time! Even got each other nothing for Valentine’s Day and nothing next week for our Anniversary! We’re only buying true needs this year! We might splurge on a semi cheap restaurant for our Anniversary... but that’s it!
    The book you’re explaining sounds like I might need to look into it! My life’s a mess lately!
    God bless you for sharing so much! It’s inspiring! God bless!

    I was in the same boat with my shorter hair. I just can’t curl it to look right. I also didn’t want to spend $20plus at a store for the crimper. I ended up finding an almost brand new Bead Head Waver at $3.99 at Goodwill!

    Thank you so much for sharing reality! I love that you guys are perfect and that you’re not hiding things even when you called messed up like the fast food thing.
    it encourages me to start budgeting because we have to but I have absolutely debilitating anxiety over it.Watching your videos and seeing the reality… The bad the good and the ugly really encourages me I also appreciate you sharing real numbers! Keep on being you!

    Yay at supporting the foster parents twice in the week :). I haven't tried Aldi's diapers but people say they are ok and dirt cheap...especially for newborns who are changed so frequently. I'm visual, I'd love a tally on screen/three columns (item, budget, actual spending) of what you budgeted vs what you spent...fun money, gas, food etc. Maybe even running total of when you underspend and build your savings.

    • @ashleighnicolewilson
      @ashleighnicolewilson  4 роки тому

      I do like the ALDI diapers! Ruby seemed to have a reaction to them when she was younger, but we recently tried them again and they’re working well for her!

    Spending one day of the week is actually pretty easy , just move to a place where the closest decent grocery store is over an hour away...😁 that's what we do. We usually spend $150-200 on saturday., that includes groceries, clothes, entertainment, gasoline, medicine, vehicle maintenance, birthdays, eating out... doesn't include insurance, phone bills and we also don't have to pay any other household bills

    My husband and I are currently doing “no buy February” - only purchase allowed is fuel. Half way through the month and it is showing us a lot! We obviously ran out of most fresh produce so that needs to be addressed (just planted seeds); using leftovers creatively instead of eating the same thing; and writing down purchases for March of items we ran out of (like tomato sauce). But it’s teaching us to be creative and use the resources we have. Enjoyed your video! And your hair is super cute just the way it is😊

    Did you know if you download the app “Overdrive” you can link your local library card to it. Then you can download books on kindle and audible for free. Occasionally you have to wait a week if someone else is using it but you can join waitlist. Easy way for me to read and still save :)

    This was fun and very interesting. Why? I don't know. I think your actual pay week would be a better picture too! This is a great idea! I can really give great insight to see habits you might want to change. I should do this for myself and watch them at the end of the week and reflect on our spending habits.

    Have you looked on Facebook marketplace for the crimpy curl thing that someone else got for Christmas and now are selling?! Maybe worth checking. Or even on eBay. Love this video btw. You are being so vulnerable!! Amazing! And the iPhone sound is great!!

  • @creeksidehomeschoolers
    @creeksidehomeschoolers 4 роки тому

    Oh about that hair crimping iron...if you buy the big wave one it is pretty useless if you have short hair. It ends up looking like ponytail lines in your hair and it takes longer to do than a flat ironing does. In the end it wasn't a great buy. Hope this helps. Besides, I think your hair its styled so cute and playful...I love it!

    One of my kids used to get nurse maid's elbow a lot, and thankfully, one of the ER doctors taught me the "arm trick". Ironically, I think my husband put her elbow back in place when he out her in her carseat to go to the ER!

    Can you explain the decision to replace the van rather than Peter's car? We are thinking of getting a new car and I feel like we should keep our bigger car so it can fit more of our kiddos but my husband leans toward keeping the smaller car.

    • @ashleighnicolewilson
      @ashleighnicolewilson  4 роки тому +2

      Peters car gets better gas mileage and is just in better overall condition. There is a tiny part of me that wants to keep the van too, but I doubt we will do that.
