While I am still over-budget, my very generous big sister has given me money to use towards diapers for this-baby-that-better-be-coming-extremely-soon-or-I-will-pop. (that's his official name for now) I am subtracting $16.06 from my total and taking it out of that budget. So that being said...
Money Left for the Month: - $5.26. Yikes.
You can do it! That's what food storage is for!
ReplyDeleteMy baby doesn't have that name yet; my due date is only today. I probably have 1-2 more weeks (normal for me).
