I love the pic of you and Brent!

What an amazing journey you are on! It feels like yesterday that we met for coffee, yet it’s been way over a year ago…

Glad you’ve found affordable, real food. It’s very hard to keep our grocery budget under control, and I really don’t have any advice. Lots of planning helps, but it’s hard to keep things interesting and affordable… I think you are doing great!

Stay warm! And I second Deb’s hot water bottle recommendation!

Google hot water bottle. Harder to find in the u.s. easy in u.k. They are soft plastic ‘containers’ that u fill with hot water and cuddle. U can put them in ur bed to warm it up or just hold it against ur body. When I’m on laptop ill email u a link. I use mine daily in winter.

Thanks Missy! Guess what…now our heater is broken. Ugh. I’m not having a meltdown now so that’s good!

Thanks Debs. I used to ski but decided I wanted to snowboard because knee injuries are less likely. Wish I could say the same about tailbone. 😉 Yikes!!! It’s super hard but SUPER fun!

Please tell me what to do with a hot water bottle?!?!?!? Is it like a regular water bottle with hot water? Do you hold it? Drink it? I know I sound a little dense but I’m really not sure what you mean!!!

Awww thank you. I really appreciate it. I do my best and always make sure I communicate with my boys when I’m struggling and ALWAY let them know that they mean the world to me no matter how I’m feeling. They know they are loved deeply and that I would do anything for them…to me that is what matters the most. Someday you will be an awesome mom!!!!

It’s really hard to spend $150. It’s usually more like $200 but I’m trying. This week we spent $160. You’ll be happy to know I brought TWO hardboiled eggs with me but only smashed the one.

I want door-to-door organic food delivery! I don’t know how you feed your family for that little. I think I spend over $300 a month and it is just me living in my house. If you do the math, I’m spending….lots more than you. 😉

It gets better. Way better. Also? I love that you brought a hard boiled egg with you!

Love reading about your trip and (although I am sad for you) your freakouts. I often worry that I would never be able to have kids because I have anxiety. You’ve shown me that being a great mom doesn’t mean you always have it together emotionally – you demonstrate a ton of love for Thing 1 and Thing 2 and give me hope that I can be a great mom someday like you!

LOVE that exercise room. And very impressed with your snowboarding. I would be too scared that I’d kill myself or end up injured. The cold is no fun (but the workout room looks warm!!) and so cool about pooling your orders with that organic delivery service!!! Seriously, do you guys not have hot water bottles? It really does help.
