Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How was your weekend? Ours was great. The weather has been a true joy here in the Northwest lately, hasn’t it?!
This weekend I shared TWO big updates on my Project Downsize progress. The first update was Saturday and I shared my February downsizing totals – earning $2,564 during the month of February selling items from around my house! Then on Sunday, I shared my March plans for downsizing, which includes DONATING items to people in need. I’m so very excited about our donating items to bless others, while simplifying my living space. We kicked off March by donating a bunch of warm blankets to a local shelter and I wrote about that here.
In addition to downsizing in March, our family started our pantry and freezer challenge yesterday! I’ll write more about that later today (hopefully) but essentially I want to eat as much from our stockpile and freezer as possible this month. I do this a couple times a year and it’s a great way to clean out the freezer, keep the stockpile fresh AND save some money by shopping less! Last night we turned some leftover taco meat and stale chips into same amazing nachos – adding shredded cheese (freezer), olives (stockpile), black beans (stockpile) and fresh guacamole and sour cream. I gave the fridge a serious cleaning last night and we’re fully committed to the challenge this month!
I’m starting to get garden guilt. I meant to get seeds in the dirt last week and it didn’t happen. This week, hopefully! Have you planted anything yet? I’d love to hear if you have!
