I take a lot of photos during the week.  At current count there were over 7,000 pictures on my phone.  I know.  Anything that catches my eye that I think is interesting, or just a memory that I’d like to keep.  However, they usually sit in my phone and no one sees them except me and my immediate family; when I force them to sit and look at them with me occasionally.  I do share some of them on my Instagram, in case you’d like to follow me over there.  Anywho, I thought that I would give myself a sort of week in review to look back at.  Who knows, maybe this is something I will actually remember to do each week for once!


Yes, I know this is very late, but I’m here!

Here is a peek into our week, in no particular order:

Little Leo keeping watch for the snow.

I’m trying to keep up my momentum when it comes to getting all of the fluff out of my house.  If it doesn’t have a home, and I’m not going to make a home for it, it’s leaving.  Only I forgot that red pot at home twice.  No worries, it has been donated and already has a new home.

Liv has caught the decluttering bug.  I culled out some of the clothes for my nieces to go through.  When I will see them to give them to them remains to be seen…..

My drawer next to the stove was driving me mad.  So I stole another organizer from a rarely used drawer across the room….

And then dumped those items straight back into the drawer……

so that my much used drawer is more under control.  I know.  This one is completely a mess now, but I only pull it open to get to my stick blender once a week.  Which tells me that I need to get rid of the rest of that stuff…..

It’s not perfect, but it will do for now.  And this drawer that I pull things out of every time I cook isn’t driving me completely bonkers now.  Also, this is another reason that I take pictures of EVERYTHING.  I can see that that drawer organizer is very gross and needs a thorough cleaning.  I didn’t ever notice when I was switching all of it around.  Sigh.

I also forgot to do a weekly roundup last week of what I spent on groceries.  I love Fetch.  It gives me points for buying things that I was going to buy anyway, and it also remembers where I spent my money and when.  That might freak some of you out, but I hate to break it you – unless you are living completely off grid without a smart phone and an internet connection, you are being tracked anyway……Anywho, if you want to join Fetch and rack up points, you can use my referral code QF4TJ and you’ll get 2,000 points when you sign up.

I spent $131.41 the week of January 10th through January 16th.

The week of January 17th through January 23rd I spent $105.62.  For a grand total of $341.25 for January so far.  Not bad.

I’ve been using things from my pantry and freezers to make our meals, so I’ve been buying fresh fruits and vegetables each week and filling in where we need something specific.  It’s definitely keeping the cost down.  With only one week left in January I don’t think that I’ll hit the $1,000 mark this month, thank the Lord.

So.  What happened in your neck of the woods last week?
