We’re aiming to pay at least $37k towards our mortgage principal this year. This amount also includes our regular mortgage principal payment as well. Last year we paid $35k towards it, so we’re thinking we can at least do another $2k.

Our 70/30 planned worked very well for us last yea

Our 70/30 planned worked very well for us last year. So much so, that we even decided to finally buy a new TV. It’s actually the first one we’ve bought since 2008. 😯😆 But the point of our 70/30 plan was to be able to have balance of doing what we wanted along with paying off the mortgage. So we’re planning to stick to it again for this year. If you’re not familiar with it...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We came up with the idea that for any money we have leftover after paying for our regular monthly expenses, 70% will go towards saving for vacation, master bathroom update, other household things we want, etc. The other 30% is what we use to pay off our mortgage.

I managed to make another charcuterie board, and this one was good as well. I even added some goldfish for the kiddies. 😆 While we missed the smoked salmon this time around (wasn’t trying to break the bank and use up most of the stuff we already had), the Cabot sharp cheddar cheese and habanero cheddar cheese was really good. 👌🏽#piecesofsomeday

This is all of our glasses and cups, minus a cup or two that’s in the dishwasher. We started out with eight 16oz and 8oz glasses each (of the black ones), but over the years, some broke. I didn’t bother replacing them either. But this works for us as well as when we have guests.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We also have a (condensed) collection of water bottles in the pantry. I use to have a thing for buying a new one every so often, and I’d buy Omar one too. Lol. But I’m doing better with that and haven’t bought a new one in over a year. 😬 #theclutterfreehome

When I decluttered our kitchen the other day, I was finally ready to get rid of some stuff I couldn’t the first time around. Looking at all of the beer mugs, wine glasses, margarita glasses, and shot glasses (that were traveling gifts)... you would think we were partying it up every weekend. So not the case! Lol. I don’t see why people say to register for all of this stuff when you’re getting married!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I decided to keep all of the margarita glasses since they were 2 different sizes. But I’m letting go of the 4 beer mugs and 4 of the wine glasses (we had 12 total). Also, this coffee pot that was probably never used. We don’t drink coffee, but when my mom would visit overnight she asked about us having a coffee pot because she drinks coffee. So I bought one. And guess what she did... Started bringing instant coffee. 🤦🏽‍♀️ Lol. Anyways. All of this is packed up and waiting to be donated. #theclutterfreehome

Or waiting 2 years to be sold. Or packed away knowing good and well you can’t fit them anymore. Or sitting there collecting dust. || message received + noted 👌🏽

bathroom organization | It might not look like much and I don’t have before pictures. But just know that before, this stuff was all over these drawers, especially before adding the little white containers. The first 2 pictures are my drawers and the last one is Omar’s. Of course I had to give him some containers although he said he was good. 😆 He said thank you after he saw the finished product though. Haha.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
We didn’t really have much stuff to throw away in here. A couple of items we were no longer using, some very old perfume and a couple of random things to donate like a curling wand I never even opened from before we were married. 🤦🏽‍♀️ #theclutterfreehome
