It's difficult when we want to buy new things but we can't afford it! I quit my job a month ago because I couldn't really take time off with that job and Micah and I wanted to spend more time with each other because he will be deployed sometime next year. But I do miss having disposable income sooo much. It's a struggle for me! I want new clothes and stuff all the time lol. But I am learning to embrace this whole budgeting thing. We've been eating better because of it. We eat at home and its healthier compared to eating out all the time like we used to. I also have been more crafty and nifty to cut costs with furniture and house stuff. But I have really enjoyed doing these things! So I have actually learned to embrace this trial in my life. Just know that you can too! You are not the only one dealing with this =DAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08406013683395800272noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064470577246028146.post-78627340590880245202012-09-21T04:22:28.095-10:002012-09-21T04:22:28.095-10:00Ahhh I love the quote by Charles Wallis! I can'...Ahhh I love the quote by Charles Wallis! I can't tell you how important I think it is for young families with kids to walk the humble road for a while. Mike and I are ok now but when we were both in school we couldn't even afford dishes. We used the ones from my single days that my mom gave me. Even though it's tough and I sometimes get jealous wishing that I could travel more or wear nicer clothes, it does make you grateful for all of the good things that you do have.Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16257563765606768664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2064470577246028146.post-44520203520059773572012-09-21T00:29:55.892-10:002012-09-21T00:29:55.892-10:00How can I say how much I love this post?!

I hadn't been makeup shopping since February, and even then so I didn't have an income because of no=income training. <br /><br />I'm grateful that even though I hate flying in airplanes all the time, I still have a job that pays my bills and allows me to actually have a good reliable car with automatic windows lol. You know what though, even if I do have a good job now that pays, it doesn't fill in the emotional and spiritual side for me. I wish I just had a family. And seriously mama, YOU ARE AMAZING. For being a full-time mom, graduated college, still preggoz and working full-time, AND on top of that you still make time to look fabulous, I totally wish I could be more like you anyday!!!<br /><br />And besides, humble beginnings with less money makes thrifting a lot funner :) And it forces u to stay home more (at least for me it does lol) and makes me get more creative at eating at home, and actually cooking for myself lol cuz I'm too lazy to cook.
