    I made these with my 13 year old today because I’m trying to find ways of including “bonding time” with just her and me (because I also have a 18 month ild). I love that it was quick, delicious and I felt victorious

    Just a tip…put your piping bag in a glass and fold itout over the glass. Then put your batter in the piping bag thats in the cup. Makes it easier then holding and will get it a little more toward the bottom so you may not have to work the batter down as much. Can do the same if you make your own frosting and fill a piping bag. But love these! Putting donut pan in future budget cause I hate paying a dollarish a donut and love baking! Ps since your a baker you should check out this easy scone recipe super easy and yummy I left out the extract and everyone devoured these at fathers day brunch. https://www.kingarthurflour.com/recipes/new-hampshire-maple-walnut-scones-recipe

    I haven’t tried this recipe, but I LOVE making donuts for my boys, and did just that this morning. Even though it’s nice to go out and purchase one that someone else made (because variety and funky flavors can be a lot of fun), they really are SO easy to make yourself.

    What kind of milk do you use in the frosting?

Back on March 1st, I did an Instagram Live all about closing out your budget.

This step and my "Where Did My Money Go?" Worksheets are the two things I get the MOST questions about.

What do you do with your budget after the month is over, and you’re ready to begin a new month? Most people don’t realize it, but your spending throughout the month gives you some incredibly helpful information.

One of the first steps to creating and sticking to a realistic budget is tracking your expenses. Your spending is the underlying foundation for creating a budget and ensuring that your budgets in the future are successful.

If you are not aware of where your money is going, you can’t make the best decisions for your dollars.
