It's the last day of the month! Holy cow!
Sunday morning was
another pretty spring day. A little cool
and breezy, but sunny. I started out my
day by planting my big flower pot and setting it up on the front porch by the
door and then helping my daughter plant a pot of daisies that she set at the
porch step. Lovely.

| Making homemade refried beans |
Later in the
afternoon I trimmed both girls hair for them.
We also made a big pot of beans which became a big pot of refried beans. We put up several containers into
the freezer for future meals as well as one in the fridge to enjoy now.
Tuesday morning I
got up early and made a batch of Zucchini Bites. I hadn't made those in a long time and since
they are keto friendly I thought I should.
I'll have to post the recipe soon as they are great as an appetizer or
for breakfast. Packed with lots of great
nutrition too. We love them.
Tuesday afternoon my
youngest had an orthodontist appointment.
Wednesday afternoon she had cheer practice which ended just in time for
me to swing by and pick her up on the way to take the oldest in for an
orthodontic follow up appointment. Since
that appointment was on the opposite end of town I made the most of the trip by
stopping in at Walmart to return some things and pick up the items on my
list. I was careful not to spend more
than what the returns netted so I didn't have to spend anything extra.
On Thursday more
cheer practice and the oldest babysat.
Then Friday my youngest had a field day with a rival school while my
oldest and I attended a dinner where she was awarded her first college
scholarship. Not a big one, but nothing
to turn ones nose up at. Proud mommy
moment to be sure! The dinner was nice
and as luck turned out mostly keto friendly.
I passed on the rolls, potatoes and dessert, but the chicken, green
beans and caprese salad were fantastic!

On the way home from
the dinner we still had an hour before it was time to pick up the
youngest. We stopped into Home Depot to
pick up some supplies. I used a $25 Visa
gift card I had earned last year on one of the wellness programs I participated
in at work to cover most of the amount.
I used the rest of the return money from Walmart to cover the remaining
balance.

Saturday arrived and
I got busy on my next much awaited home improvement project. I have been wanting to do this ever since we
moved back into our house three and a half years ago. I'll tell you more about that later in the
week. Super excited!

How was your thrifty
