It's not hard...
I get a little irritated when people say they can't eat healthy on a tight budget. We live on a food budget of $240 maximum per fortnight. There are two things I cannot live without. The $120 food challenge and my freezer. I read Sandra's posts on how to make the challenge work for you. She said look for the specials each week in the supermarket. I love doing this because it means we can have things we may not normally eat. For example, we had prawns tonight. Thanks Coles for having them on special a couple of weeks ago. I was able to freeze them then pull them out. I served them up with some left over asparagus risotto. Also thanks Coles for that. It was a really great meal for not a lot of money. I need to do more of these things instead of having one of those "oh my god what an I going to do about dinner" moments. I now need to try to get organised for the food for the next couple of weeks. What's on special, where? With such wonderful things like freezers, specials and $120 food challenge, why do people buy packet stuff? Is it lack of education? Time poor ness (if that's a word) or just plain laziness?
I'm trying... To be a good wife and mother as well as being more well rounded with life in general. I read some great blogs and take tips on what to do. This is my place to share whether the things I've read and been told work for me in my life.

Wet washing hanging on the line... Or not
I recently started to follow the organised house wife's great blog to try to improve my organisational skills. It's a great place and there are excellent tips, but do you think I follow them? No. The washing is a task that is constantly falling behind. Right now there are two baskets sitting in the lounge room, one on the line and one in the clothes dryer. There is also a load in the hamper downstairs and stuff waiting to go in. I try to keep a routine, but sometimes when you have a baby, it's a bit difficult to hold down the routine.
Solution, I need to be more disciplined about the washing. Maybe I should close now and actually catch up on the load that is ready to go into the machine.

Hello world, there's a song that we're singing...
I'm trying to compose this post whilst watching call the midwife. Unfortunately it's the last episode so I'll miss it. I guess I've decided to this because I need a non-child outlet.
I'm also trying to be organised. If you ask my poor long suffering husband, it's not happening. Oh well, here goes.
