Monday Made It - July 6th

Before I get into my post, can I just say it is so hard for me to believe it is already July 6th. A month from today, our first day of school will be in the books. Where has my summer gone?! Goodness, me... must not focus on that! On to this week's Monday Made It with 4th Grade Frolics.



This week's made its are personal things, as I have *tried* to take a hiatus from creating things for my classroom for the last few weeks.


       

 One of my goals this summer was to really focus on looking at our budget and how to start saving more money.  Mr. B and I bought a house in December and I started my vision impairment endorsement a month later, so finances have been strapped.  I made this handy dandy tool to help me keep up with my spending. I have even included a generic version as a freebie below.

My next made it was for our 4th of July shindig we had this past weekend.  The beauty of it is, I did not buy anything to make this cute centerpiece.  I had the glass beads, candles, ribbon, and mason jars at home.  They were perfect and were a great addition to our party!

That's all for this week's Monday Made It. See you next week!

  2. Thank you so much for sharing. I really need to be better about budgeting. I'm really bad about logging onto my bank account online and eyeballing things. Not so smart on my part. You've inspired me to want to be better!

  3. I have been on tight budgets and not so tight budgets. I think the best thing to do is to make the finance part fun when you are on a budget. Great tracking form!
