{12 Days of Christmas Blog Challenge: Day 4 & 5}

Day 4: Tips/Tricks to a Budget Friendly Holiday Season

I have recently gotten into Dave Ramsey! (He is awesome!) We are following his baby steps 1-7 if you haven't heard of him I highly suggest you go here. We follow DR and use the envelope system after each paycheck. (We take $200 out for groceries each paycheck and put that amount in the envelope, so once the envelope is empty we're out til payday) It really helps cut down on the last minute grocery trips. We use an envelope for groceries, gas, and blow money, and eating out. We usually have some left over money that doesn't go to the credit card or truck loan so we still are able to have some family fun without going over board.

As long as I start buying little things here and there for our Christmas gift list than we are set by the time Christmas rolls around!

About Me

My photo
Erica
I am a 24 year old mommy of 2 kids I get to hold in my arms and 1 baby I get to hold in my heart. I couldn't be happier. I have been married to my high school sweetheart for 4 years. He is a very handsome sailor and we are currently stationed in beautiful San Diego!

My one my only. He is my best friend & my soul mate, my rock, my life. We share the same brain waves, huh babe! We met in 6th grade and he followed me throughout High school. I finally decided to give him a chance and it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. We have been together for over 10 years. We have been through some rough times and Jake has been there as my number one through every single thing life has thrown at us. I fall in love with this man more and more everyday. I thank God for him every night before I fall asleep. He is my everything.

My silly monkey. This little boy has changed my whole life, my whole aspect on life. He is the spitting image of his daddy, but he is me through and through. This boy makes me want to wake up every morning to his shining face and in the same breath he tests my patience like nothing I have ever experienced before. He is obsessive compulsive, loving, silly to the core, a true funny man, and he has a heart of gold. He is always trying to please others. Constantly thinking of others over himself. I would give my life for this boy. I love him unconditionally.

My little momma. She is everything I have ever wanted. I always wanted a little girl. She is more beautiful than I ever imagined, more beautiful than mommy will ever be. She holds my heart in her little hands and doesn't even know it. She is such a little diva. What little momma wants, little momma gets! I love her with my whole being, her little smile just melts my heart like butter. There is such an innocence in her eyes that makes me want to protect her from everything bad in life. She is my world.
