Your tips are "practical and I can tell you live what you write. As a long time single parent now empty nester this post hit home! One thing I would do different is spend some of the extra money to buy myself a break in the form of time. Put a little OT funds back to help you pay for drop off laundry ( it's surprisingly reasonable)We also did lots of day trips and grocery shopping was fun!Good job on the blog and being a single mama!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-18184126540353193812014-05-27T17:35:24.564-06:002014-05-27T17:35:24.564-06:00Great ideas.

We can make an event out of it and sometimes we are a little silly, but we have a lot of fun. I did good today. I thought I'd have to work late but was told this morning it was optional so I optioned to go home. :)Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-71898648229120088502014-05-27T16:02:01.133-06:002014-05-27T16:02:01.133-06:00Congratulations on the job offer! :)

I understand how you are striving for that balance of work, family, etc. It can be hard, but I'm sure you will be able to make it work. It is nice that your girls are older and can help you keep up with everything. Maybe you can take a certain time during each week and have a "cooking session" together. Plan out several meals to make and freeze for during the week (some for when you are eating together and some for when the girls are on their own for a meal.) I think that would be fun to do together! I have had grocery trips turn out fun when we did them together as a family- most times it is uneventful but just being together was enjoyable. And if you all pitch in on Saturday morning and get most things done to catch up then it can free up the rest of the weekend for fun (I know that can be easier said than done sometimes.) :)Dawn- Blessed Beyond Measurehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18380049127079259624noreply@blogger.com
