Hi, I’m Molly. A Christian stay at home mom and wife, who loves homeschooling, homesteading and being outdoors. I too used to live paycheck to paycheck, budget hopping my way through hoping to find a budget that was easy and I could stick to.
That’s when I realized an old-fashioned style of budgeting, my mindset, my habits and my lifestyle were keeping me enslaved to my money and from being able to stick to my budget.
So what did I do? I created a simple, time-saving budget and I worked with God to renew my mind and habits, so that I CAN stick to my budget! And I am excited to share it with you!
If you are ready to embrace a hands off approach to budgeting saving you time and money…
God centered systems and routines that keep you sticking to your budget…

Welcome to Day 3 of the Christmas Budgeting Series on the One Income Family podcast! The past two days have been so great helping you to open your eyes to the amount you have spent in the past and then using that to set up this year's Christmas budget.
Today in the Christmas Budgeting Series we are going to get a little less practical and a little more emotional. I think it’s so important to remember the meaning of Christmas and to create an atmosphere in the home that’s slower and able to focus on the more meaningful traditions or soon to be traditions that you do as a family.
I want you to mull over todays episode and really think about what you want your Christmas to look like and use that goal or better said mission to tweak your budget, to tweak your schedule and your whole idea of Christmas so that you are focused on the meaning of christmas rather than the marketing of Christmas.

Yesterday we learned what the categories were, what amounts needed to go into those categories and now today we get to plug it all into one comprehensive sheet that allows you to make sound decisions when putting together your Christmas Spending Plan!
It’s the boundaries you need so that you can continue to feed your family during the month of December so that you don’t have to swipe your credit card and make next year difficult because you bought too much. It’s the protection to keep you in the lines of how much to spend on gifts and food and giving.
This episode is going to help you stay on track so that you are able to go through the holiday with less stress and more joy.

Welcome to Day 1 of the Christmas Budgeting Series on the One Income Family Podcast! Are you excited? I know I am!
Day one is all about auditing last year's Christmas spending. Now don’t freak out as auditing is simply a fancy term of looking over what you spent, totaling it up and deciding if you should continue what you are doing or not.
I mean tell it to me straight. How many Christmases have you ended up overspending, overcharging and later regretting it? Well this episode is going to shed some light on your Christmas spending habits so that you can make positive changes that will not only bring joy to your family, but ease the pressure on your pocket book.

Hey Mama, I’m so glad to have you back with me on the One Income Family Podcast. I have more information on the Christmas Budgeting Series which I am super excited about! And today I am jumping into some systems that when plugged into your budgeting routine you don’t have to touch again unless there’s a big financial change obviously but essentially it takes the budgeting out of the budget.
Yes you heard me right. You can create a recurring budget that is simple and hands off. Which is so nice when you are in the nick of things. It helps you to save money by creating less touch points, helping you to essentially set and forget. This gives you back your time so you can start tracking your finances and learn the amount that truly needs to be in each category and you can focus more on learning how to be frugal. It’s a win-win in all areas!
So listen in so that you too can set in place these systems that will give you back your time, but most importantly give you back your peace of mind because sticking to your budget will become less of a chore.

Is money how you define success? Do you find yourself reaching for the biggest and most expensive things because you don’t want to look poor? Mama, life is so much more than money. The world today tells us that money is power and that money is what defines our success. But today I want to challenge those thoughts. Today I want you to think about the things that life brings you and you can look at to really learn what success you should be focusing on. What does success mean for us without money! I want to separate your feeling of worth, your quality of life from money. What even is money, but the means or tool of trading for something you need or want. People were bartering for things they needed long before money even came into practice the way it has today. This is why I want to take you through each of these three things so that you can start living a joyful life regardless of how much money you bring in.

Do you find meal planning overwhelming? Does the way that everyone explains it seem difficult and hard to put in place? Are you ready for a system that is Beginner friendly?
That is exactly what you will find in this episode!
I am diving deep into my simple beginners meal planning system. It helps solve the problem of what to serve when you’ve never made a meal plan before or maybe you’ve never even thought about what kind of meals your children will or won't eat. You will have a way of testing and making simple notes about meals that are a thumbs up or a thumbs down and easily figure out your go to meals.
Meal planning can be so overwhelming and time consuming if you are reinventing the wheel every time and I want you to be able to meal plan, so that you can not only save money, but feed your family healthy meals while keeping it simple and less stressful!

Hey Mama,
Have you ever sat down and really thought about your ideal date, or your ideal family vacation? And I don’t just mean the overall activity, but the things that bring you closer and build relationships that will last through fights, sickness and heartache? I’m sure if I asked you what a date was you should spout out what the world says is a date, which is going out to eat at a high end restaurant. Now maybe that is something you would enjoy, but does it really build connection? Whenever I go out to eat no matter who it’s with I don’t feel like we really get to talk, or at least about anything deeper than how was your day. Whenever my family says they want to go out to eat I invite them over to my house instead because I feel when you are at home you stay longer than just the meal and dive into more in depth conversations.
Going out to eat is so not my thing, so I never find myself wanting to go on dates, because that is the picture the world has painted it to be.
Now you may be wondering what this has to do with budgeting, but I promise you just like last week when we talked about how important your fundamental needs are for you to be truly capable of diving into your finances. Knowing what you and your family enjoy and consider a true connection covers more than just connecting and building relationships.
By sitting down and discovering what you all enjoy doing and not doing will flow over into your finances and if you already know the activities that bring you joy, you can easily and quickly find a more frugal way of doing them.
So go grab your pen and paper mama because you are not going to want to forget today's juicy tips.
