So, I haven't updated my blog in quite some time. I am blessed with a beautiful daughter that was born in February of this year so she is just over 7 months old.
Here is what I have discovered so far on the cost of having a child.
- Use cloth. It virtually eliminates the ongoing expense of diapers and wipes. Though there is a large initial upfront cost we used some of the money we got as gifts to lessen that cost.
-Shop consignment stores. Name brand stuff at cheap prices.
-Don't buy too many clothes. I have fallen for this one. When you go to the store have in mind what you want and buy that. Try not to get tricked by the other cute things.
-We got toys given to us as baby gifts and from people who's kids had outgrown them/had too many. Really they don't need THAT many toys.
So far she has been fairly cheap, however, "they" tell me that this cost will go up slowly but surely.
