Happy Birthday to Our Oldest!

January 7th is a Great Day!

This boy was supposed to be born around December 27th but apparently he didn't like December as a birth month so he waited until January 7th! And boy,  he was worth the wait! Handsome, smart and very kind, as well as an amazing husband and father, this boy is a treasure and I'm so grateful to be his mom! 

Now on to the challenge! Last night's dinner was what I like to call our CTR night. You know, Clean The Refrigerator! It's a chance to get into the fridge and pull out leftovers that we need to use up. With just Doug and I it's not as effective as when all 6 kids were still home and helping us out.  Even eating leftovers for lunch, we still have to have CTR night at least once a week. I am just trying not to let anything go to waste! Isn't that what this challenge is all about? Saving money, no waste and using what we already have?
