In today’s video I’m doing a real-life September budget check-in for weeks 1 & 2 for our family of 4. I sit down in my monthly view and track everything as it actually happened—bills, spending, and the little “life with two under two” expenses that add up fast. I’m using my Romina Rossa Budget Planner and my budget expense stickers to keep it simple and visual, because if I can’t see it at a glance, it’s not getting tracked in this season. These weekly check-ins are my gentle reset for money—nothing extreme, just staying consistent so we don’t get surprised at the end of the month. I share how I categorize expenses, how I use the monthly layout to spot patterns early, and how I keep our savings goals in mind while still feeding everyone and living our life. If you’re trying to budget as a mom (especially in a busy, soft-era routine), this is the kind of “come do it with me” check-in that helps you stay on top of it without overcomplicating it.
