Aldi has some great deals on groceries, but these top 10 Aldi finds are unbeatable in my opinion. I usually won’t find these items at other stores, at least not at these prices. I’m also putting together an easy meal for a family on a $10 budget using Aldi grocery items!

It’s a little different Christmas shopping for teenagers, I know! Here’s a look at everything I am putting in my children’s stockings ages 12 (boy), 13 (girl), and 16 (girl). Even if it’s too late for some of these ideas this year, I hope there is something helpful you can save for next year!

‘Tis the season for lots of purchases, grocery hauls, gift guides and more. But I thought it might be an interesting exercise to point out some things I’m NOT buying this Christmas season. Not because I expect everybody to make the same decisions, but because I think it’s good to pause and consider the “why” behind our purchases and decide if it’s really worth it for our particular household and circumstances!

A realistic look at what dinner and dinner time actually looks like in a regular, real life home. Spend the week with me as I throw dinner together, and hopefully share some easy meal ideas for your family!

In this video, I’m sharing a week of real-life `family dinner` moments in our busy household with three teenagers. You’ll see how we tackle `weeknight dinner` with a mix of homemade dishes and takeout, and how `meal prep` doesn’t always go as planned! If you need some `easy dinner` or `dinner ideas` for your own family, I hope this honest look at our kitchen helps.

Here’s an honest look at what this regular mom got her kids and husband for Christmas. We have 3 teenagers, and we don’t do a ton of electronics, so it can be a challenge. If you’re looking for some ideas for gifts that are fun, practical, or meaningful, including a few unique ideas, I hope you find this video helpful!

*Some items are tagged in the video, but here are a few more:

*I decided to glue a small wooden bead on the bottom side of the top of these so they “tilt” just a little on the table and hold the cards better.

I try to be realistic on this channel as much as possible, and if we’re being real…I don’t always go into the grocery store with a plan! I know…making a meal plan before we shop for groceries is a great way to stay organized, reduce stress, AND keep our budgets in check. But sometimes I need to grab some things at the store and make a plan later, and that’s okay, too!

I’m working on some extra videos for Vlogmas, so I thought I’d do a little casual “realistic” tour and chit chat with you about Christmas, and what it looks like for our family as we let go of making it “magical” and embrace making it “meaningful”.
