Good morning, everyone!
Today, we're gonna talk about the art of staying home on weekends... and consequently saving more money.  What could
be better than that?
Hi guys, it's Kate welcome back to my channel. Thanks for joining me this morning
I wanted to talk to you guys about how much I love staying at home and how much that can
Save you money and how much that could do good for your soul
these days I
feel like
We have a lot of pressure to go out on weekends
Go out with friends have drinks take pictures of it take pictures of our food take pictures of us on a trip
Take pictures of us
smiling and having fun with our family and while I do do that, I
Don't want to do it every single weekend. I need a weekend home
Relaxing getting caught up on my household
Resting my son resting. I don't want to be on the go constantly
And I feel like if you can have a great weekend at home once in a while. It has so many benefits
Despite how I may appear. I'm actually an introvert
Which simply means for me I require time alone to recharge. I can't do it around other people
So while I appear very social and do enjoy engaging
With others and having fun. I need time alone to
Get my battery charged up again. So a weekend at home for an introvert especially is
Just what the doctor ordered with that being said
There is nothing that delights me more than looking at my upcoming
Weekend Calendar and seeing nothing planned
nothing zero
It's gold. It's precious
I can't even verbalize to you how much it excites me to have nothing planned. Nobody
Asking for my time for a weekend staying home is the perfect activity for my frugal
Minimalist lifestyle, let me tell you why
Number one not feeling pressure about how I look
Or any pressure to even get out of my pajamas
You know I'm saying
Number two, I don't have to spend money on extra activities. It would make sense that these are the times that you would go to
Museums and amusement parks and movies and anything, you know extra
That you would spend money on but when you get to stay home all that money stays in your pocket number three
I can spend quality time with my son
He loves going and doing those fun things on weekends, but honestly, there are some days I pick him up at school
After school and he says are we going home today? And I'm like, yeah, he's like, yes, he loves going home
Just like I love going home
And if you get a whole weekend of that he wants to play what's to play games with me?
He wants to play with his transformers. He wants to do puzzles
He wants to read and this gives us time to do that without
distraction
number four I can make youtube videos for you guys and
Hang out with you here in our YouTube community
It has been such a pleasure getting to know you guys the last few months. I am loving it
I love it when you comment. I love it when you share your thoughts and
Just getting to know you. I'm just loving it
So on the weekend if I get to stay home, I can have a little bit of time to respond to comments
Say hey
and also check out the other YouTube videos that I get lots of value from because there's so many
that I just love to watch and
Get such great information out of and interact with them also and number five I can get caught up on the household
You know that laundry is getting piled up during the week, you know your dishes
Might be hanging out in the sink. I do not have a dishwasher
So I have to hand wash every single dish cup and glass in this house
so for me to be able to pick up on the weekend do laundry I
Only do laundry like once Oh, basically Saturday mornings is usually my time. When do you guys do laundry?
Do you do it throughout the week? So it doesn't pile up?
For me, it's not a thing because me and Kaden have
you know plenty of clothes to get us through, you know, a couple weeks without doing laundry, but also
I
Don't want to run like I some people do a load of laundry every day. We don't have enough laundry to do a load
Every day, there's just two of us
So I usually just do it once a week and I only have usually like maybe two loads of laundry
So it's pretty simple, but maybe the sheets to and towels so it could be two to three
But anyway, I love getting caught up on the weekend and getting a clean slate vacuuming dusting all the stuff
I don't get to do during the week two Pro tips for
Starting a stay at home weekend. If you're gonna stay at home go grocery shopping on Friday. I
Normally go shopping on Friday anyway, so that's not really out of the ordinary for me
I know a lot of people that go Sunday or Monday
But if you're gonna specifically have a stay-at-home weekend go on Friday get stocked up. It just increases the chances of you having
No reason to leave your house or order out or order in
Go grocery shopping on Friday if you're having a stay at home
the second thing I like to do is we like to go to our
Local library and get a ton of books for free. So
last weekend we ended up getting 10 books and
That just took up a lot of wonderful time for free go to your library. They also have you know movies and other stuff
I have not gotten a movie lately, but I think I'm gonna try that too. We have, you know, Netflix and Amazon
Prime video so we have a lot of stuff to watch but if you don't have that grab a couple movies
And of course the books and if you're not into reading maybe start that up
But it's such a wonderful free activity that benefits your child and yourself if you don't have children
get your own books and read for free and then give them back and don't clutter up your
I
Got a massage gift card for Christmas
So now I'm going to be heading out to go enjoy that for a wonderful free
90 minute massage
Hate to leave you but I can't wait
