New year - big resolutions and changes for our little family!



I will admit that over the past 6 1/2 years of marriage we have not made the best financial decisions and we are paying for them now! We have gulp - almost $45,000 in consumer debt (including our car and student loans) and our goal is to be rid of it all by our 10th wedding anniversary (3.5 years from now). In order to do that we have decided to follow the Dave Ramsey baby steps and I will admit I'm becoming a bit obsessed but I'm ok with it!

So here are our goals for 2011 to help us on our Debt Free Journey!

1) No more eating out. We spend way too much every month on fast food and going out to eat. We now have alloted $125 every month for fun money and any eating out, new clothing purchases, haircuts, etc all need to come out of that money - so as you can imagine that 125 will go quick if we eat out every week. So we've decided that if we stop eating out (at least limit it to once a month) then we'll be able to save so much $$.

2)Going along with number 1 is making a meal plan and STICKING to it! I used to be so good about doing my menu plan monday and I got lazy and stopped - but no more! I will be posting my menus again every monday in order to help hold myself accountable!

3) Attack our first debt. Going by Dave Ramseys debt snowball of getting rid of smallest to largest debt - this first debt will be Stephens Student loans. Only $3500 remaining. We want to have it paid off by the end of the year, I'm sure we can have it paid off by Sept.

4) Spending more time as a family and praying together more often. Since we won't be going out as much this should come easy but I really want us to spend this next year really focusing on each other and strengthening our relationships with God, each other and our children.

5) Stephen and I both want to work on getting healthier. I have about 5-10 lbs I'd like to lose and then work on toning and maintaining that healthier weight. Stephen wants to lose 20-25 more lbs. This means I need to actually use my Wii and all the weightloss games I have because it's worked before and I know it will work again! lol

6) Save for vacations this year. This is going to be harder for us emotionally I think. We are in the mindset that every extra dollar we have we want to put towards our debt but in April we are going to KC to visit Stephens family. His sister is having a baby in March and the baptism is in April and we want to be there but also we have not seen his dad or other sister since Oct 09 and they will be in KC for this big event then. So of course we want to spend as much time as possible with them before they go back to SC. They have not met Parker and Ella was only 2 last time they were with her. Anyway we will be there for probably 5-6 days but that's 5-6 days of food, spending money and extra gas money. I'm thinking we need to save $250-300 for this trip.

And then we really want to be able to go to South Carolina to visit his family in November for Thanksgiving. We are finding it harder to save for this one because we would need $900 just for flight and rental car (or possibly a little less if we drove and stayed in hotels on the way but that's a long time in the car with 2 little kids!) and that's not counting any food/spending money while we're there so we would probably need to save $1200 for this trip. I know that's not a ton of money but towards our debt it really is! The next goal also has a factor on this:

7) Increase our income! I will need 1-2 new daycare kids by August when school starts again but if I can start watching someone sooner like by April or anytime after that, then all that money will be extra - making it easier for us to be able to go to SC in Nov and/or to be able to pay more debt off! I really don't want Stephen to have to get an extra job but there is no opportunity for overtime at Intrust (since he's salary) so I think that even though it would be difficult it would be worth it for a few months to earn extra money. This is obviously something we're still discussing but I'm just putting it out there lol

So there we go - my Goals for 2011. I know it's a lot but I'm so excited to get working on it! I will update monthly on how we're doing on these goals and also add if any new goals arise!

Mailbox full of Christmas Cards?!

Have you ordered your Christmas cards yet? Christmas cards are one of my favorites things to give and get this time of year! I get to see how my friends and relatives children are growing and my daughter loves to look at all the cards and tell me over and over who is who in each picture!

If you haven't checked out Shutterfly's collection of Christmas cards - you really should! They have the prettiest and most unique cards in my opinion compared to other card sites out there. Here are two of my favorite new cards they have this year. I love to write a Christmas letter to go along with my pic and this way I can just write a short little note and saves me on paper!





Also if you need some Christmas ideas for Grandma and Grandpa they have photo calendars, keyrings, coffee mugs and more to bring your pictures to life!

And if you are hosting any holiday parties you have to check out their invitation section! This just screams fun to me!


I have been trying to decide which card I want to order for a couple days now - there are so many to choose from! Here are some coupon codes to make these cards even 'sweeter'! Right now holiday cards are up to 30% off starting at only $.32/card! And you can use the code SHIP25 at checkout if your order is $25 to get free shipping! And code UPROMISE5 will get you 5% off cards as well! And to top it off order through Ebates and get 8% cash back!

Have fun and Merry Christmas!

Chicken Cream Cheese Enchiladas

This has become one of our families' favorite meals! Very easy to make, I double this recipe so that it makes 4 pans - I heat one for dinner when I'm making them and freeze the other 3 for meals over the next couple weeks.

Ingredients:

20-25 oz canned Chicken
10 oz can of Cream of Chicken Soup
8 oz cream cheese
20 oz Enchilada sauce (green)
8 oz Cheddar Cheese Shredded
15 soft taco size tortillas

*All my ingredients for a double batch!



Pre Heat oven to 350

Combine Chicken, Cream cheese, Crm of Ck Soup, 1/2 Cheddar cheese and enough enchilada sauce to make the mixture moist.

Mix Well - make sure cream cheese is not clumpy

In large baking dish (i use 2 9x13 pans) pour enough ench sauce to coat bottom

In each tortilla pour approx 3-4 tbsp of mixture

Roll each tortilla & place in pan

Once pan is full, pour ench sauce to make sure each is coated

Sprinkle remaining cheese on top

Bake 25 min (at 350)

Cool 10 min before serving

Garnish and Enjoy!

Pumpkin Bars & Cream Cheese Frosting

Here is my recipe for Pumpkin Bars - they are sooo yummy and a perfect treat for this time of year!

Ingredients:

4 eggs
2 cups sugar
1 cup veg. Oil
1 can pumpkin (the regular size, not large)
2 cups flour
1 tsp baking soda
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp cloves
1/2 tsp nutmeg

Mix all together (I suggest using a mixer - oh how I wish I had a big Kitchenaid Mixer! Until that day, my hand mixer works just fine!)



Pour into a greased and floured jelly roll pan. Bake at 350 for 25 min!

Here's a shot of it in the oven!



Now for the frosting!

3 oz cream cheese
3/4 stick butter
3 cups powdered sugar
1 tsp vanilla
1 tbsp milk

Beat all together (again if only I had a big mixer...I'm trying to drop hints everywhere possible for my husband! LOL)



Don't forget to lick the beaters...this is my 9 month old who helped me bake (as I wore him in my Ergo carrier).




Spread on COOLED bars! Let sit for about 20 min to set and Enjoy!!

The Newest Addition to our Family

On Wednesday October 27, 2010 my brother and his wife welcomed their third child into the world! Corbin Reed weighed in at 7 lbs 10 ozs and 20 inches long! Big sister Alaina Marie and big brother Clayton Henry are so excited and can't wait to meet him.



A few hours after being born the nurses realized that Corbin was having some breathing problems and was moved to the NICU. We are praying that he will be able to get off oxygen today and get out of the NICU and back to mamas room for the night so they can be released tomorrow! Please keep Corbin and his mom and dad in your thoughts for a quick recovery!
