Monthly Project: Our office-
- This room used to be my daughter’s room. She recently moved the rest of her bedroom things out and so the room was a bit empty. I decided to finally have a designated office/craft space.
- There was a lot of sorting done first, then I gave Seth and I each a desk space.
- The closet is transformed into storage for wrapping paper and crafting supplies.
- Now a bookshelf houses our library of books!
-
Saving Money
- We have been on a mission to become debt free and get a better handle on our finances.
- There are lots of great budgeting tools- we have decided to use Dave Ramsey’s Every Dollar Matter’s program.
- One of the most key parts of this, is us having a weekly budget meeting. We review ALL of our spending and categorize it into our budget.
- The weekly meeting helps us stay in check.
- We have been able to eliminate all of our debt except a student loan and our house- which we have planned out on how to pay those off too.
- It has helped us learn how to build up our savings and really own our spending.
-
Products:
- Adventure Challenge Couple’s Edition
- This is a Date Night Challenge book that my husband got me for Valentine’s Day
- There are different editions for Families, Solo, and Friends!
- As you go through the book, you can pick your date based on categories, time, cost, etc- but you don’t know your date until you scratch it off!
- Our date was cooking a recipe together
- The challenge was the partner who had the least amount of cooking experience had to be blindfolded, while the other partner gave the instructions. It was really fun and entertaining 🙂
-
Celebrating:
- My word of the year is Celebrate- this means intentionally celebrating big and small events. Making sure I am celebrating my relationships in my life and connecting with people, events and activities that are meaningful to me.
