the reality of raising three tiny humans without going broke, swipe for what actually works in our house 👉🏼

as a mom who loves saving (and spending lol) I’ve come to realize that yes kids are expensive, but not as expensive as we’ve been told they have to be

save this if you’re raising kids on a real-life budget🫶🏼

Love these! I have a couple consignment sales I never miss 🙌🏼 a toy rotation works wonders for us. They feel like they have “new” toys every couple of months

Hand me downs all days. I would love if everyone was matching all the time but also don’t wanna go in debt paying for clothes they’ll wear once or twice (and likely someone will throw a fit about)

👏 yess also never gave my baby specific "baby food" he just ate what we ate at an age appropriate level.
