Grocery Cart for Nov29- Dec7 (*and the next week)

Posted by Holly Nelson on Monday, November 30, 2009, In : Grocery Cart Challenge Friday 
Because I am a few days behind in grocery shopping I figured I would go ahead and shop for the next weeks meals. I will probably have to go back for milk and bread and maybe others if I find good deals. 

And the Aldi list is soooo looooong that I am not posting the detail list, but I will post the picture and Total price.

TOTAL for the Week: $136.70
($13.30  under budget of $150.00  week.)
Next weeks total should be much less because I bought the main meals this week.
TOTAL amount saved this month...

Saving Money on Groceries

Posted by Holly Nelson on Wednesday, November 18, 2009, In : Tip of the Week 
If you have a large family like me, you could easily spend hundreds of dollars on car insurance. But we aren't talking about that today.

I will try to break it down and not ramble on.

It's a BOYS life!- No Diapers & No Training Wheels!

Posted by Holly Nelson on Thursday, November 5, 2009, In : Just Because I said.... 

 My "baby" turned three last June. Shortly after he finally gave up diapers. I had been trying to train him for a year. I thought it was hopeless! Then suddenly, out of the blue, he decided to be a big boy. Most of my boys have been right at the age of three. With the baby before, Noah, I thought I had actually gotten the potty training thing down! He was trained at barely two and a half. Then Luke comes along to bring me back to reality. Then I know for sure, It is the child not the parent. ...

About Me


Holly Nelson "Let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the incorruptible beauty of a quiet and gentle sprirt, which is precious in the sight of God." 1 Peter 3:4 - "An excellent wife,who can find? Her worth is far above jewels." Proverbs 31:10 ~~ I am a stay-at-home-mom(SAHM) married to the love of my life, Jeff Nelson. We have five wonderful boys. Ryan(13), Seth(11), Ian(8), Noah(5), Luke(4), and Jack (born April 2010). We live in Tennessee on 4 acres. I grew up the first few years of my life on a dairy farm in Missouri and loved country living. I was saved at a young age by the grace of God and shed blood of Jesus during that time of simple country living. That part of my life is very dear to me. God taught me many things as a baby Christian that I can still think about today. Then we moved to Memphis when I was in the 5th grade. I learned to love the city life, too. It was a completely different way of life. My whole family still lives in Missouri, still does a little farming and simple country living. When Jeff, the kids, and I moved from the city to the country, I incorporated my city life with my country background. My mom laughs at me when I cut my grass on my John Deere tractor while drinking my Starbucks Mocha and wearing my fancy sunglasses. And when I am shampooing my carpet in my high-heeled black boots. I just love those boots! But I would love to share about how I got to be the way I am today, The Victoriously Organized Woman! I used to work as a supervisor at bank for years. I had to dress up everyday. After the birth of our second child we decide I should be a SAHM. One of the best decision I've ever made. But I made a bad decision, too. I hardly ever dressed up anymore. I hardly ever wore make-up. After about a year I looked in the mirror and said, "OH MY! Jeff has to come home to this!?!" He is so wonderful he said he liked me that way, "natural". Well , I realized that I didn't. It made me feel bad about myself. I felt disorganized, tired and stressed and a little "rough" looking. I felt I just couldn't get it all done. At this time I was diagnosed with Meniere's Disease. I wasn't able to do certains things. Like mop the floor of my completely hardwood floor home that I was obsessed about keeping clean. The doctor told me I couldn't have salt, caffeine, or stress! "What?! Are you kidding!?" So , then I decided to change my routine,thought pattern, and cooking. I began to get up early, shower and dress, put on make up. Always being ready to leave whenever I needed to. I established routines that helped me eliminate extra cleaning and stresses. I was able to make more time for myself and make more time for my family. And the family had more time for each other. I made more time for God and others. This made me feel better about myself. I am so happy about how this changed my life I want to share it with everyone.
