Life kept moving… but I had to slow down.

Week 35 of our Money, Health & Wellbeing Journey 💛

This week definitely didn't go according to plan.

I was still feeling unwell so I worked from home on Monday & managed to get through the day, although it was a struggle.

By Tuesday, I knew I needed to see the doctor.

It turned out I had the flu & I was given a medical certificate to stay off work for the week.

I honestly thought I'd be well enough to return by Friday but my body had other plans. So instead, I took the time off to rest & recover.

And you know what? I needed it.

We continued focusing on paying down debt & looking after our health and wellbeing but I also gave myself permission to pause our daily walks while I recovered.

Meanwhile, the kids' week was anything but quiet!

🏕️ Our youngest had a 3 day school camp
🏉 Our daughter had a league tournament all weekend
🏊 Our son went to a friend's birthday pool party
⚽ He also had his mini soccer tournament & end of season prizegiving

And then we were racing back to the league tournament because our daughter's team had made the semi-finals!

Even while I was resting, family life certainly didn't stop.

Our small money wins continued with the habits we've been working on:
🛒 Comparing supermarket prices
🎁 Remembering to use our rewards
🥐 Choosing budget friendly local spots

Nothing huge. Just continuing the little money saving habits that add up over time.

And the biggest highlight of the week?

Our daughter's league team made it all the way to the final of their regional tournament!

They didn't take the win but what an incredible effort. We were so proud of our daughter & her team for continuing to fight all the way through.

We wrapped up the weekend with butter chicken for dinner on Father's Day which felt like the perfect end to a very full week.

This week reminded me that progress doesn't always mean pushing harder.

Sometimes progress means resting when your body needs you to & trusting that you can get back to your routines when you're ready.

Week 34 of our Money, Health & Wellbeing Journey 💛

Another busy week came & went with work, school, kids' sports trainings & soccer.

Then the rainy weather stepped in & cancelled the tag trials planned for the weekend which unexpectedly gave me some extra time to finish working on my new printable!

But shortly after that, I started feeling really unwell & had to remind myself that sometimes slowing down is exactly what we need.

We're still continuing to:
💰 Pay down debt
🌿 Focus on our health & wellbeing
🚶‍♀️ Keep up our daily walks when we can

This weekend I took a break from our walks because I wasn't feeling well.

And that's okay. Looking after ourselves is part of the journey too.

Our small money wins continued this week with the simple habits we've been working on:
🛒 Comparing supermarket prices
🎁 Remembering to use our rewards
📱 Scanning our supermarket app & saving almost $20 on groceries
🥐 Choosing budget friendly local spots when we're out

None of these savings are huge on their own, but they all add up.

The highlights of the week belonged to our son!

🏐 His school netball team came third at the ICS tournament. It was his first time playing netball & he was absolutely thrilled with their result.

⚽ His club soccer team won a super close game 8–7!

Seeing the kids try something new, work hard & enjoy themselves is such a reminder that progress doesn't always happen in a straight line.

Sometimes it's about showing up, doing your best, resting when you need to & celebrating where you've ended up.

📌 Save this post as your reminder that it's okay to slow down while still making progress.

An unexpected question from my 10 year old made me stop and think...

Earlier this week, we were at the supermarket when my son suddenly asked: "What will happen if you die?"

I was definitely caught off guard by the question!

I reassured him that our family has life insurance in place & explained that if something unexpected happened to me, there are plans in place to help protect our family financially, including our mortgage.

The conversation ended with a laugh & we carried on with our shopping.

But afterwards, I kept thinking about it.

Having life insurance is one thing.

Making sure your family knows where everything is & what to do is another.

So this weekend, I've been working on putting all those important details together in one accessible place - A Family Emergency Binder.

Things like:
📄 Important financial information
🏠 Mortgage details
💳 Accounts & bills
🛡️ Insurance information
📞 Important contacts
📋 Key documents & instructions

Because when life throws you something unexpected, the last thing your family needs is to be searching for paperwork or trying to work out what comes next.

It's not about expecting something bad to happen.
It's about being prepared just in case.

I've also been working on a new printable to help you create your own Emergency Binder.

A simple way to organize your family's important financial & household information in one place.

Coming soon!

Are you ready for the unexpected?
