A Peek Into the Last Month

Published: by Crystal Paine on February 15, 2025 | This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Welcome to my monthly post where I share a peek into the last month at our house! Let’s just say that January was eventful!

We started the month on January 1 with driving back from our Christmas trip to Kansas. Kathrynne and Micah got sick on the trip home and by the time we got home, they were both really sick. We took Micah to the ER a few hours after we got home as his breathing was so bad.

January 3 we took Kathrynne to the ER as she just wasn’t doing well at all. She ended up testing positive for Flu A and her chest x-ray showed bronchitis. After they gave her fluids and her levels looked better, they released her.

We came back home and I cared for her and tried to take care of myself as I was also feeling under the weather myself. I did print my goals sheets out for January. (I had to laugh as I pulled this pic from Instagram stories and saw the typo shoorting that I’d missed when I posted this!)

January 5 we were back in the ER because Kathrynne was not doing well at all and we were concerned about her. We’re so grateful we were prompted to take her back in as her Flu A and bronchitis had turned into bacterial pneumonia and the beginning stages of sepsis. They caught it right in time and were able to quickly get her on antibiotics. She was admitted to the ICU stepdown unit for a few days.

If you want to hear more about our experiences during this time, you can read this post and also listen to our podcast where we share about what transpired and how we knew to take Kathrynne in.

After Kathrynne got out of the hospital and started on the road to recovery, we launched our brand-new budgeting freebie! (Have you downloaded it yet? If not, go grab it here!)

I accidentally spent $167 more on groceries than I meant to. Did you read about that crazy experience?

I tried my hand at making Bone Broth Hot Cocoa. And yes, it did taste somewhat chicken-y.

Jesse and I celebrated our 22nd anniversary at home (because Kathrynne was still very much recovering) by making a Home Chef meal together and watching a show.

It snowed and actually stayed on the ground (which usually only happens once a year (if that!) here in TN!

School was cancelled and everything was shut down for at least a day or two and we had fun in the snow!

We also launched our Budget Goal-Planning Worksheets in January! These were designed to help you pinpoint and clarify your financial goals and then map out a plan to actually follow through with them!

I came out to the kitchen and found her with pickles on her eyes. She told me she was “having a spa day.” 🙂

A friend of ours helped Silas and Jesse process the free $167 roast (see earlier post above) into steaks!

I tried a new recipe and it was a winner!! I posted the recipe for Homemade Granola Bars here. I highly recommend it!

I just realized I posted this picture right in between food… but such is life here! Silas had a collision at basketball practice and ended up with five stitches and a concussion — which meant no school for a bit, light school for the next few weeks, and not getting to play basketball for the rest of the season. He was such a trooper, though, and we’re grateful he’s made a full recovery!

I started doing meal prep sessions in January and this has been a HUGE help!

I shared an exciting David update in January!

We had a triple date with good friends to celebrate all of our 22nd anniversaries!

Another meal prep session.

Also in January, we launched out brand-new download: The One-Hour Budget! This is a product designed to help you set up and realistic and doable budget in just 60 minutes (for real!!)

We took Kathrynne out for her 20th birthday to go axe-throwing! The fact that she is healthy and felt up to going axe-throwing after the month she had was a HUGE praise in and of itself! I feel like she has a new lease on life!

One of my favorite breakfasts in January: yogurt mixed with protein powder topped with sugar-free granola and berries. Yum!

And we finished out the month with one more freebie we launched: 12 Apps to Earn an Extra $1000+ from your phone. This one has been SUPER popular!

Homemade Flour Tortillas

Published: by Crystal Paine on February 15, 2025 | This post may contain affiliate links. Read my disclosure policy here.

Welcome to my 2025 Stop Buying Store-Bought series where I challenge myself to learn to make items I typically buy at the store. Today, we’re learning how to make homemade flour tortillas! They might not be a big money-saver, but they are big on flavor and amazingly simple to whip up. Here’s my simple no-fail homemade tortillas recipe!

This Homemade Tortillas Recipe is SO easy!

Now, some of you who have been here for a really long time will remember my post about why I don’t make my own tortillas… but here’s the thing: if you are making these just to save money, you won’t be saving that much by making them yourself. However, if you have time, care about the ingredients in your tortillas, or love the taste of homemade, fresh tortillas, you definitely want to try making your own.

Trust me on this, once you try homemade tortillas, you’ll have trouble going back to store-bought!

Plus, they are pretty easy and fool proof to make! And you can roll them out thinner or thicker depending upon what you like and what you are going to use them for.

I usually always change up recipes when I make them, but you will not believe it: I actually didn’t change anything when it came to the ingredients in the original recipe! I did, however, roll the dough out a lot thicker because I like thick tortillas!

Ingredients for Homemade Flour Tortillas

The ingredients for this homemade tortillas recipe are really simple:

3 cups all purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
5 tablespoons salted butter, at room temperature (or coconut oil)
1 cup hot water

How to Make Homemade Flour Tortillas

1. In a medium size bowl, mix the flour, baking powder, and salt.

2. Add butter, then pour in hot water.

3. Stir until the dough starts to come together.

4. Place the dough on a floured surface and knead with your hands for 1-2 minutes, or until it forms a smooth ball.

5. Put dough back in the bowl, cover dough with a damp towel, and let it rest for 10 minutes.

6. Divide the dough into 12-14 pieces and roll each one into a ball (they don’t have to be perfect).

7. Use a rolling pin or tortilla press to flatten each ball into an 8-inch circle.

8. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat.

9. Add a little olive oil, then place a tortilla in the pan.

10. Cook for 30-60 seconds until bubbles form on the surface.

11. Flip and cook for another 30 seconds until lightly golden.

12. Transfer to a plate and cover with a towel.

13. Repeat with the rest of the dough.

14. Enjoy warm or save for later!

Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
