Year of Frugality: Month 7 Update

Year of Frugality: Month 7 Update

As many of you may know, the month began with the delivery of our second little girl! We are both excited and as most people would expect a little sleep deprived. However, things are great at the Summit of Coin household. I have had a whole month off to enjoy great family time and we have all bonded. As of right now, my oldest is a huge daddy's girl.

Year of Frugality: Month 6 Update

As I write this sentence (on July 3rd), I am sitting in a hospital room. My new daughter is sleeping as my wife recovers from delivering a baby. It has been exciting, but also a draining first day in the hospital. We left at 4:30 am on the second. Our second child was born approximately 3 hours later. Nothing I just wrote about has anything to do with June, but I just had to mention it, because we are extremely excited to welcome our second child to the family. Now onto our June update. In June we didn't do much of anything. I worked summer school (17 extra days of work) and we prepared for the arrival of baby #2.

Can you believe that summer is upon us? I honestly can't believe that we are diving into summer and less than a month away from the birth of our second child! We are extremely excited for the summer to arrive. This means that baseball is over for me and I have more time to work on my website. So, what did May look like for our family? We celebrated my wife's birthday, mother's day and even celebrated our anniversary (a little early). Our best time to get away seemed to be in May, because June just seemed a little close to the due date.

Just like that, we are one fourth of the way through 2018! Once again, we made really good progress in the spending realm and came up spending the least amount of money this year! This makes us pretty happy in the Summit of Coin household! We even took a little trip to the Laredo to visit my wife's grandmother. This trip was great for our family as got a chance to relax and I even found the time to play a round of golf. We were also helped out with a decrease in our childcare bill, because I had spring break. Our daycare charges half price, if you don't take your child during the week. Therefore, we saved a little money!
