Happy Friday! 🥳 No new video this week, but I have something in the works for next week. 🤗Everybody is great here, just settling into the back to school routine. After years of trying to navigate the changes to YouTube’s platform, I’ve been getting “back to my roots” with my videos, more vlog-style and just laid-back and chatty. I’ve got something else in the works, a little pet project, if you will, for my other channel. More on that soon, but for now…have a great weekend and I’ll see you on the flip side! 😎

This was one of my all time favorite books, and I was saving it to read again in honor of this 250th Independence Day which is also the 163rd anniversary of Gettysburg. I remember it was the last book we read in 12th grade for AP Lit, and I was so invested I stayed up late to finish it. I cried at the end of it and I still cry every time I read it, to think on the circumstances and decisions (and the imperfect men who made them) that decided this historic battle “that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.” 😭

This middle grade historical fiction was a great read, I enjoyed it thoroughly. I really appreciate how the authors wove real people and events into the story of the main characters. It’s a dual-perspective, the POV alternating between the main characters, a brother and sister who find themselves living and working at Bletchley Park in England at the beginning of WWII. It’s part character study, part mystery (IMO), and it kept me turning the pages! There was also some extra information in an appendix at the back of the book for those who want to use it for book clubs or maybe homeschool reads. Let me know if you’ve read this one!

If you watch my channel, you know we are big sports fans, and baseball is my favorite. My husband is an OU alum, and we lived near and worked on campus the first 13 years of our marriage. Plus my brother-in-law, played baseball at OU in the early 2000’s. So you KNOW I’ve been on the edge of my seat the last few weeks, and I absolutely sent my husband and our son to Omaha to see it in person! Watching this Cinderella story in the post season has been an absolute blast, but it has been super fun to watch all the teams in the CWS, and watching and hearing from these kids’ parents hits different now that I have teenagers of my own. What a wild ride! BOOMER SOONER!

If you only have $15 to spend at Aldi to make dinner, what's the first thing you're putting in your cart? I recently made TWO family dinners with my $15 Aldi budget, and if you missed that video, you can watch it here 👉 https://youtu.be/-BAWpALiDeY

This Thursday's video is a revisit of this old Aldi Budget Meals video from about 4 years ago (https://youtu.be/SqC5mzzHDyA), with new totals, AND TOTALLY NEW extreme budget meal ideas. Here's a screenshot from the original video of all the ingredients purchased at Aldi for that video, that cost $10.44 back in 2022. If you wanna take a guess what they priced at in May of 2026, leave me a comment. 👇👇👇 Look for the new video this Thursday, June 4 with an update, plus fresh ideas for some "make-it-to-payday" or just "tame-the-grocery-budget" family meals.

🙋‍♀️ Question: What's a restaurant meal you're making at home now to save money? My husband and I were talking about how eating out has become so pricey, and it doesn't feel "worth it" at very many places. We still enjoy going out for dinner some, especially to a few great locally owned restaurants, but not as often. Fortunately (for me), my husband grills a steak to perfection. 😋 I can honestly say now, I prefer a steak dinner at home compared to most restaurants. And...it's like half the cost of even a middle-of-the-road steakhouse! If you wanna know how to cook this steak, risotto, and asparagus at home, here's how we do it: https://youtu.be/BXoSwib3JPk
