Budget Cuts!

I have been looking up and researching ways to save some money. Now that our income has significantly decreased, this is something that has become very important. But the more and more i look, i am realizing that i am doing 90% of the things i'm finding. Idk yet what i am going to do to save some dough! But i need to start figuring soon cause its not looking good. I just got my tax return (NOT NEARLY WHAT I WAS EXPECTING) and i used this to pay off our huggggeee phone/cable/internet (contracted) bill, i am buying the twins convertible car-seats and high chairs. Other than that the money is gone, we have no savings and this small chunk I've got i'm going to but the big things i will need in the upcoming months.

"You never know how much broker you will be tomorrow." This is a quote i have decided i will live by from now on. If i have the money to buy it today and know i will need it in the next month or two i am going to get it, what if i have absolutely no way to get it later, then what will we do?

I will update once i have got a plan but for now it's going to be a penny pinching few months!... well it would be if Canada wasn't getting rid of the penny!!!

F**K YOU 11:11

For the past little while I have been noticing 11:11 more then I ever have before, i will see it in the am and pm, I will notice a message was sent at 11:11, I seem to walk out into my kitchen at 11:11 every night, usually the morning one is noticed on my computer. The other night what i experienced kept me awake i was so freaked out.

Before i get into this i need you to know a couple things, my stove time, i thought i set it off of my phone time, my alarm clock is preset and has been since i got it months ago, and my phone is also digitally preset off of my phone connection thing. Also i had no clue what the time differences were/are between any of these things, and  you also should know that i live in a small apartment so my room, Kalli's room and the kitchen are very close so it didn't take long going between rooms.

So I walked into my bedroom to put the babies into their bed, when i walked in i glanced at the alarm clock and it said 11:11 and i was like "God Damn, seriously" and then i went on with what i was doing, i laid the babies down and then took my hair out of the elastic and brushed it, I looked back at my alarm clock and it then said 11:14, and i thought wouldn't it be freaky if i went out and the stove said 11:11, so i stopped brushing and went out, sure enough it did!!!! i had to sit there a second and take it in. I was a little bit freaked out by it.  I was also home alone, Jordan had gone out to a friends house. So after I collected myself again i went in to check on Kalli, adjusted the heat in her room like i always do before i go to bed, when i got back into my bedroom i picked up the phone  to call my mom before i went to sleep and, yup the phone said 11:11... I ended up freaking out a bit, i laid in bed scared SH**LESS for at least an hour until i fell asleep. 

This really pushed this thing over the edge for me, now i am so freaked out i nearly cry every time i see the number, I  wish i could jut stop seeing it!! PLEASE!

Our New "Outing" Set-Up

As you may know it is very hard to go out with 3 babies, however with the right tools you can make life much, much easier.
We drive a sun fire, aka teeny tiny has no business driving around a big family, but it does! Now our biggest problem going out right now is that the babies in their car seats weight a ton! Oh, and that our trunk absolutely does not fit our MONSTER Double +Sit and stand stroller. Sooo our solution (for now) if that i put a baby in the baby carrier (yes i know all the stuff about the whole crotch dangler thing, i always keep one hand on baby to support him/her) and the other is in the click it stroller, the most awesome amazing thing i have ever found!! I can easily steer with one hand. And Kalli pretty much just walks and hold our hand now, so really if i 100% absolutely had to i could go out alone, but i really don't plan on it from a lonnnngggg time! And since my kiddos wont fit in their infant carrier forever, when they are big enough  will be putting them in a double umbrella stroller. Maybe someday we will get a van though and i can take out my massive stroller contraption!

New Adventures...

So it's official, Jordan is done work. He has taken parental leave from work to learn how to parent and to bond with our kids. In Canada, if you have worked a certain # of hours you are entitled to 35 weeks of parental leave, where they pay you 55% of your wages. It is going to be very tough financially, and we are now going to have to completely refocus our budget. I don't know yet how its going to work out but one thing i do know for sure is that it's going to be real tough to cut out unnecessary items, when you are already only buying the necessities.

I don't know where we will be 6 months from now, but as long as we're together  hope we will all be happy and healthy, i will keep you updated on how everything is going in out lives. See ya soon!
