$$ Every Penny counts $$

Anyone have spare change laying around? In the sofa? on the Bathroom sink? what about the washing machine? that's where I find change laying around....so for this New Year I bought this Large Jug ( at Big Lots ) and whenever we find spare change we will drop it into the jug and not touch it for the whole year. I am curious to see how much we will save for the whole year. I think close tot he end of the year I may have a contest to see who can guess how much is in it...Fun huh? right now it is pretty empty but Whitney has been hunting around the house for change and she has started dropping the change in....I even saw her taking change out of her very own wallet to contribute...( aww sweet kid..) I made sure she kept her money and told her that I don't want her to think she needs to add her own money. it is just the change we find laying around. I think this will be a nice treat for us seeing how we are so broke after the holidays...



Whitney found a bunch of Change all over the house...She call this. "Feeding the Money Jug" Like she is pinching food into a fish bowl....

Notice the Money Jug is in my bedroom? My kids have tiny hands you know....they can sneek money out easily so having it in my room makes it a little harder for them to do....Sneaky Kids!
