11 ~Sarah's Savvy Savings~

Do you and your children have to do a sock search on your way out the door?

When my children were young, I became very frustrated when we would be ready to leave but no one could find their socks or they would go to get their socks and get "lost" on the way back to the door! So I found a plastic rubbermaid type bin that had 3 drawers. I put it by the front door and each child has one drawer for his/her socks! Now when it's time to leave nobody has any excuses to go back to their bedroom. Everyone, including the socks are right were they need to be. Everyone can have their socks and shoes on and be out the door  within minutes :)

I'm Back!

Sorry it's been so long since I've written! I had to take a break over the Summer.
A lot has happened since I last posted anything. My divorce was just finalized last week, August 27th.
And baby Josiah's adoption became finalized the next day! (I will post more on this soon)
I have made the decision to homeschool my children. I already began over the Summer and it's been going really well! Zach is reading great and Jerry is well on his way. Mariah is learning her letter sounds and loves to work on "school"!
My sister who is very sick with her pregnancy moved in a few weeks ago with her 13 month old son. She is 20 weeks pregnant and very excited to find out if her Little One will be a boy or girl this Friday :-)

We have a new addition to the family! His name is Tyger. He is a 9 month old Chihuahua. I never dreamed I would own a Chihuahua but have thoroughly fallen in love with him.
Hope everyone's Summer went well! I'd love to hear stories from your Summer. Post them in the comment section under this post! Look forward to hearing from you.
