I've been meaning to write a post about our love for Google Drive. Today a friend asked for recommendations on a place to keep track of family stuff, and I decided now was a good time to write this post.
James and I started using Google Drive several months ago and it has changed our life! It started out as a way for James to remember events on our calendar better...something he has always struggled with (I think it's a guy thing). He asked me to start using it with him so that we could both view it, add to it, etc. I did NOT want to at first!! I LOVE my paper calendar! I like to write (like with a pen -- the old fashion way), and I also like that I can view my whole month with a paper calendar. Additionally, I copy from my paper calendar for the next year, to see what happened each month and remind myself of things that may come up the following year. So, I was super hesitant about switching to an electronic calendar.
After several months, I have been converted and I really do like it. I love that we can share the calendar and both view it, add to it, etc. We put EVERYTHING on it!! Appointments, days off, library book due dates, birthdays, reminders for anything and everything, etc. I also have the option to place things on there that he can't see, which is nice because sometimes my reminders don't affect him and it would just be one more thing to pop up for him that he doesn't need to be made aware of.
One really cool thing about Google calendar is that my "super smart" phone will ask me if I want to put this on my calendar any time it sees words like "meet", "get together", "appointment", etc.....this could be in email, facebook, etc. Anytime I get an evite, it asks if I want to place it on my calendar and I can do that with one click.
I also like that you can set reminders for however early you would like to be reminded. I believe you can also snooze your reminder if you need it to keep reminding you. And unlike a paper calendar, I can place events on it for a year or two into the future.
In addition to the calendar, we also use Drive for lists, such as groceries. This comes in handy when one of us runs into the store and can check to see if the other person added anything to the list.
The other thing we use Drive for on a regular basis is our budget and spending tracker. We created a budget/spending tracker on a spreadsheet in Drive and we add our spending to it instantly. So, as soon as I get into my jeep after making a purchase, I immediately place it on the sheet. I don't have to worry about remembering to do it later, or keep my receipt.
Within Google Drive, you can share documents and folders as well as keep some private, if no one else needs to be able to view it. It's really a great digital "keep all" place. James and I definitely feel much more organized since we started using it. If you are looking for a new method to keep organized, we highly recommend Google Drive.

Grocery Budget
James and I finally got on track again with using a budget to manage our finances. We are on our 5th month now. We expected our mortgage to be the biggest expense each month, but we never would have guessed food would be the second biggest sucker of our money. We rarely eat out, we both get free lunch at work, the kids aren't home for lunch.....what gives?!?!?!
Neither of us are "foodies" and both understand that food is just fuel for our bodies, so we eat pretty light. We rarely make meals for supper, and when we do, it's usually just one main item and then we hunt in the fridge for something to have with it. Also, James brings home leftover food from work quite often, and sometimes we eat on that for multiple days. Yet, we still think our food expense is ridiculous every month! We have found that we actually spend less than a lot of families do, but it still just seems outrageous. Sure, food is a necessity, just like shelter, which we have no problems paying for...but ugh, we just hate spending money on food.
This past summer we started shopping at Aldi. It's possibly our favorite grocery store now. Actually, no, I still like Hy-Vee best....but the amount of items I get at Aldi for the same amount of money at Hy-vee is almost double.
I'll admit, I totally judged Aldi. My whole life, I thought Aldi was a dirty store for poor people (because poor people must be dirty??). You weren't going to catch me in that store, no way! But then I slowly started hearing people talk about Aldi more and more over the past 3 years. When James' co-worker talked to him about Aldi and gave James some of his food to try, he came home and told me we needed to check it out. I still wasn't so sure. So, naturally, I sent James in first......
James was doing some cost comparison of Fareway, Hy-Vee, Walmart and Target anyway, so he was more than happy to add another store to his rounds. After his visit, it appeared that all the gossip was true....Aldi IS CHEAP!! So, I decided to go check it out for myself. I went inside with no plans to buy anything, just wanted to take a look. I was very surprised at how nice the store was and I found a lot of their labels to be even "prettier" than the other stores. Okay, I'll give it a shot!
So, we tried just a few things the first couple of times we shopped at Aldi. We loved everything we bought, some even more than the other stores (chicken nuggets!!). Their $5 take and bake pizza is one of our favs...it's bigger than other stores and so good! To save a dollar, we buy the cheese pizza (because the rest are $6), and use whatever we have at home for toppings. Yes, we are THAT ridiculous!
Anyway, we are now fans of Aldi and cannot wait for the new store in Ames to be finished!! If you haven't been or are still a skeptic....try it out!! Just don't forget to bring your own sacks and a quarter to use a cart (you will get your quarter back - these are ways the company saves money so they can sell items for less).
One thing we do not do to save money is use coupons. Pretty much the sole reason for this is that most of the items we buy never have a coupon. We tend to stick to produce, meat, dairy and a few freezer items (you know, all the expense stuff in the store), non of which seem to have coupons. We also usually favor the most expensive item of a kind, like yogurt...the one with the most protein and least amount of sugar is always the most expensive!
The past 5 months since tracking our expenses, we have spent approximately $575 each month on groceries. We budget for less than that and always go over (so what good is our budget, right?!?!). We are hoping that this was just a summer time thing and we won't spend as much during the winter.
To track our spending, we have been using Google Drive. One nice thing about this, is that we can enter our expenditures as they happen. We both have the app on our phone and just enter any money we spend immediately after spending it.
Tell me, what do you do to save money on food??? Specifically, how do you save on snacks for the kids? I feel like half of my grocery bill is kids' snacks.....which we could really limit if we tried harder. I also tend to splurge on some things.....like pumpkin pie ice cream for $5 (when all the other flavors are $2)...but hey, it's seasonal and it won't be there the next time I go! I do try to go to the store just once a week, but when something unexpected comes up, or we feel like having something that wasn't on the menu for the week, I will occasionally go multiple times in a week. Plus, if I shopped at Aldi, I still have to go to another store to get the items they didn't have. I try to stick to my list (and I always write my list in order of the aisles so I don't have to go back and forth), but almost every time I buy something that was not on the list. I think grocery shopping is just always going to be a necessary evil.

Loess Hills getaway
This past weekend James and I traveled over to the western part of Iowa, an area we aren't terribly familiar with. I follow an Iowa photography page on Facebook and have seen some beautiful photos of the Loess Hills over the years. Back in August, James and I decided to go check these hills out and hoped October would be a pretty time to go.
We dropped the kids off at Grandma's on Friday after school and headed west. We arrived at our destination, a Bed & Breakfast I had reserved back in August, around 7:30; it was dark out. We chose a B&B because we had such a great experience at the first one we stayed at 5 years ago. Also, I couldn't find much for hotels in the area, and this particular B&B kept popping up on my internet search. I never did see any photos of the place, but read some of the reviews, which were all good.
So, as I mentioned, it was dark when we arrived and this is what we pulled up to.
EEEEEKK!! I was like "Oh my! What is this place?!?!?" There was also a lovely run down old gas station next door. Beautiful.
I hopped out of the jeep and a lady wearing sweats, her disheveled hair down, hollered out to me in a smoker's voice, "Are you Emily?" I wasn't sure I wanted to answer.
We stepped inside and she showed us to our room at the top of the stairs. The room was very......old??? The furniture was antique. I knew from my reading about the place on the car ride there that this was an old hotel. I didn't imagine that the furniture from the old hotel would still be inside of it! Okay, that's a little harsh...it's not the original furniture, but it felt like it could be. Anyway, aside from the bed being really hard, the rest of the room and bathroom were just fine for the two nights we would be staying. Although, we found out shortly after arriving that there was a smoking room below us and unfortunately the smell rose up to our room. There were air fresheners in the room attempting to mask the smell, but that almost made it worse at times. I wasn't sure I was going to be able to sleep...but I did, and the next night I barely noticed the smell.
In the morning we went down to breakfast. The hostess had asked us when she showed us our room what time we wanted breakfast in the morning and what we'd like to eat. We were surprised to have these options as the first B&B we stayed at told us what time to be at breakfast and just served us the meal they prepared. The hostess looked much more "put together" in the morning, with her hair braided nicely. She served us a wonderful breakfast of fruit, eggs, ham, bacon and french toast with homemade jams. We enjoyed our breakfast with another couple who was staying at the B&B. They gave us pointers on places to go that day, which we were grateful for as we had ZERO plans!
Yes, me, the planner, I had ZERO plans for this trip! We both agreed on the way there and again on the way home that "plan-less" was so much more fun. We just showed up and allowed the trip to take us where it would. We may have missed some popular sight seeing things, but we felt that the things we did were just perfect for us. All I had on my agenda was "see the hills".
The first thing we did was drive to Hitchcock Nature Center. It is a beautiful park in the Loess Hills with lots of hiking trails. We played around in the lodge, learning a little about the hills and the animals who inhabit them. James made this sweet note in one of those things you push pins through:
Then we climbed the look-out tower where we could see out for miles above the hills. There were a couple of volunteers up there with binoculars, monitoring the avian activity. That was interesting to watch.
After that we hiked out to the end of one of the ridge tops and back. It was an "easy" hike. We only saw a couple other hikers on the trail.
While both of us could have stayed at this park all day, we left and headed to our next stop. On the way there, we decided to grab a bite to eat, as it was lunch time and we'd been burning our breakfast off hiking. We used the navigation system in the jeep to help us find some restaurants. We decided on a local bar and grill, and grabbed a couple of barstools in front of this guy:
We shared a light lunch and then headed to the lavender field I wanted to see. Unfortunately, most of the lavender plants were no longer in bloom :( We walked around the cute little gift shop and then sat on a bench under a pergola outside for a little while. When we were ready for more exercise we headed to the last stop of our day, Preparation Canyon. We hiked one short trail down to a creek and then hiked back up to the top. My knees were starting to complain, but I wasn't ready to be done.
We drove through the park some more and came across the place I've seen in pictures many times, that I was hoping to visit in person (although I didn't do any research ahead of time to find out where it was). It's a scenic look-out spot on top of a ridge. The neat part is that you can walk out onto the ridge quite a ways and see out across the land the entire time. It was so beautiful and we were there at the perfect time! It was late afternoon, so the sun was moving to the west and was just the perfect color of gold.
I could have spent the entire rest of the day on this ridge top. I told James I wished we would have brought a picnic supper. We didn't encounter anyone else on the trail with us. In fact, we were shocked at how few people we saw all weekend. I was so glad we found that spot (and so randomly too). This was my favorite part of the weekend.
My second favorite part came after that. We were driving the back roads, headed out of the park, when we came across some birch trees. I have been wanting some birch branches (for decor) for months, and, as they are just not plentiful in our area, we have not been able to find any. I even asked in a garden store where I could find some and was told they are so rare around here. So....I told James that whatever he had to do, we were leaving with some branches off those trees. As we turned the corner, to our amazement, we saw a pile of recently cut birch branches!! The problem was, they were all too long for the jeep. BUMMER!!!! BUT..... we were only about 5 miles away from the B&B and we happened to know that the owners were wood workers..... So, yes, we went and asked them if we could borrow some saws :) Long story short, I have birch branches now :) Thanks again, James!
As it was nearing supper time and neither of us wanted to go sit in the stinky B&B room, we decided to check out the local (and only) restaurant/bar in town...with the longest name ever. This town was so tiny, there wasn't even a gas station in it. I was surprised at how nice and big the restaurant/bar was! Not only that, but tiny town means cheap food! I got a cheeseburger and a side for under $4! We sat on the bar side of the place and enjoyed watching the locals come in and out. It was fun to see everyone visit/heckle with each other, given that they all know everyone in town. We didn't even find it odd that there was a small boy (maybe 4?) sitting up at the bar....seemed normal for that place (I mean that in a good way).
Night #2 was just fine and we had another amazing breakfast Sunday morning. This time it was just the two of us. We told the hostess to surprise us.....she made waffles with apple pie filling and whip cream on top, eggs, bacon and fruit. We talked to the hostess for an hour and learned much more about the old hotel, the town (which used to be a big rodeo town until the railroad stopped going through it) and things she's learned about running a B&B.
All in all, we had a great weekend and are very glad we went. We wouldn't change a thing about it. Even the sketchy B&B turned out to be a great story! We made some fun memories, enjoyed each other's company and got some exercise amongst beautiful scenery!

Freezer meal prep
I've loved the idea of freezer meal prep groups ever since I first heard of them. I had several opportunities to join some groups in the past, but every time I decided I could make my meals cheaper and I didn't join. Last month, a friend attended a meal prep event at Hy-Vee and raved about it. My mom asked if I wanted to sign up for the next one. I thought about it, but still felt that I could make the meals cheaper. After discussing it with James, I decided to at least try it once.
Last night was the event I signed up for. It was way better than I thought it would be and I already can't wait to do it again! In just one hour and $77 spent, we had 7 meals to take home. I normally spend $65-$85 a week on groceries, so this really wasn't terribly expensive. Plus, my kids won't eat anything I brought home, so James and I will get more like 14 meals out of it, as each one serves at least 4.
I was very impressed with the set up. There were 7 tables (one for each meal). Each table had all of the ingredients needed to make 14 meals (there were 14 people there). 2 people worked together at a table to bag the 14 meals. My mom and I had a pretty easy one. We measured and poured 6 ingredients into a bag. Some people had to stir things together or patty up burgers, which took longer, but we were all still done in an hour. All of the veggies (onions, peppers) were already diced for us when we got there.
After all of the meals had been made, the staff subtracted any ingredients we didn't open from our grocery total and divided the total by the number of people there. We just paid for the groceries used (nearly all of them were hy-vee brand), plus $10 just for attending the event. To have that many meals prepared in just an hour and not have to do any meal planning, grocery shopping or dicing veggies, was worth the $10 for sure!!! One lady we talked to said she has been going to these every month and she and her husband eat the meals for several weeks, cutting her need to meal plan and grocery shop. The time savings alone is very valuable to some of us!
I'm excited to try the meals now. The dietician leads the event, so the meals are mostly healthy. She also gives suggestions of healthier sides to serve with the meals. There are some ingredients in the meals that I have never tried before, but so I'm eager to see what I think of them.
