Time flies when you are having fun, or are extremely busy to realize it. Here I am writing My Stay At Home Adventures Year In Review: Part 1 post about 2014! During this year, I must admit that I've grown professionally, and personally. To sum up a yearlong progress of my Stay At Home Adventures, I decided to do a yearly recap with some of My Stay At Home Adventures best posts. I wanted to give you some updates as well.

January 2014

The beginning of my 52 Week Saving Challenge; the beginning of my yearly goals. Fabulous January, it set the route of where we wanted to be and what we accomplished this year.

Buy Once and Regrow Forever – Celery – Boy was I obsessed with regrowing food from scrap. It did work, and it grew to be nice size celery plant; the taste was OK. I also did carrots too, you can read all about it here.

February 2014

By this month I was sick of the snow. We got snow, and more snow; it was ridiculous. I was looking forward to spring and starting my garden; the winter was just insane! As I continue to read my post during this month, I really was having a hard time coping with the snow. LOL

My Blogging Insecurities – By this time of the year, I was really working on trying to be better about my insecurities. Reading this post, I think I was still trying to come to terms with what I really wanted to do. I was also comparing myself to other bloggers.

March 2014

Finally, I was waiting for March; I really don't recall any other time in my life when I was really waiting for the arrival of Spring. March consisted of the 52 Week Saving Challenge and March Cash Only Challenge. It also had updates on my regrowing scrap food thing!

Review: The 21 Day Financial Fast – Great concept, but the way the book was made was disappointing to me. Though I have to say, that this is an awesome challenge that I am looking forward to doing in 2015! Just because I didn't like the book much, doesn't mean I didn't love the idea.

How Beating the Broke Mindset Helped Me(2)

How To Beat The Broke Mindset – Well, well, well. This is how the blogging world works. I wrote this back in March, it became the number one viewed post in the history of My Stay At Home Adventures thanks to Pinterest, and this just happened a few weeks ago. See what happens when you let go of your insecurities?

April 2014

Big month for us. We bought a van, I got my hair did, and we set a date for our wedding. I was also an expert gardener by this month. (Just kidding)

We paid Cash For Our Minivan – YES!!! We never in our lives paid cash for a car. This was the best feeling in the world.

May 2014

May was a busy month for us. We were planning a fall wedding, I was mastering my garden, I was on my 5th month doing the 52 Week Saving Challenge, and attending birthday parties, graduation parties, and such. Our budget that month was busted because I didn't think of adding these events into our budgets.

Planning Our Wedding – Tips To Keep Me On Track – I continued to post helpful wedding posts.

Being Frugal: What Being Frugal Is About – I am a huge fan of frugal blogs, and sometimes the “frugal” competition comes out in some of them. Sadly, what works for some, doesn't work for others, so I wanted to write about what being frugal is about.

Wedding Planning: How To Simplify Our Guest List – May was my main planning month for our wedding.
Another helpful post was written.

June 2014

After doing bad financially in May, June began with me crying over it. I was still going full force with my 52 Week Saving Challenge despite having a bad financial May. My garden was growing and enjoying the hot weather.
