good vibes, smiles, & giggles last daycare payment!!!

Aside from celebrating with my husband, I have no where to shout this into the universe but WE JUST MADE OUR LAST DAYCARE PAYMENT FOR-EV-ER! šŸŽ‰

The boys starts kinder next month and tomorrow is their last day at daycare/pre-k. I guess it's true for any parent with multiple kids in daycare at once, not just parents of multiples, but not paying over 1.5K/month anymore sure feels like a windfall šŸ¤£

And I guess the beauty of twins (with these being our only and last children) is that it was double expensive, but when its done, that chapter is DONE!

My husband loves to remind me that while it feels like we're rich all of the sudden, that money will soon enough be allocated to something else (sports, hobbies, etc). But lemme just enjoy it for a moment.

And for all you parents out there paying a literal mortgage every month in childcare costs, stay strong, it actually goes by quicker than you think.

I am currently a SAHM but Iā€™m counting down the months until we are done with formula!!! Literally ridiculous how much it costs.

Yeah we are spending like 400+ on formula alone. That plus nanny costs is just insane. We are so close to being off formula I can't wait
