My unpaid portion of maternity leave has finally kicked in.  I get paid monthly so my check was comical.  I would absolutely take the tiny check all over again to spend that time with our baby.  My next check won't even be a full check so there will be a maternity leave bite size chunk out of it too.  Things should return to normal on my last check in May.

We just had a baby at the tail end of 2016 so thanks to him we had a larger than normal tax return.  We'll get that adjusted for 2017 so we can take better care of our money all year.  But really, thanks for the tax credit, kid.

This was just kind of a normal month for us.  We tried to not spend a bunch and stayed close to home.  I expect spending to crank up a few notches next month because I'll be back at work and we'll feel more comfortable moving money around to get that car and PMI taken care of.

Until next time!
