4 Weeks of Semi Success!

Budgeting...

To report back, budgeting so far has been a major success!  Although I have had to rob Peter to pay Paul and switch money from envelopes a few times! I'm also in the mindset that it's ok if every month we do not have money to set aside for the home or my dd's college.  But the fact that we already have little nest eggs started for these goals and consider them when paychecks arrive is a start and more than what we were doing last year.  I even started an additional savings plan, called the 52 Week Save Money Challenge.  I find it to be more like a game.  This money will be set-aside for a future DISNEY vacation.

Organize & Declutter...

Last week I had a four day weekend, one day where my DH and DD were conveniently absent and guests coming over to craft another day (which sparked my DH's interest in helping me clean).  I can proudly say that I have stuck to my cleaning schedule this week and as a plus, the laundry baskets are pretty close to empty!  It does feel so good to come home and be able to enjoy a clean home.

Reading...

I haven't begun reading any books yet, but because I'm bringing my lunch to work everyday I'm going to use that time to read...starting this week!

My three new goals of the year have been a miss.  Although I did show off a few moves I learned from Apollo & Phaedra on Real Housewives of Atlanta --- and boy did my thighs feel it!! 

Today and tomorrow I plan on breaking out the cricut and crafting a few things to get my shop started on Etsy. I've been doing the business planning, but haven't executed any products yet.  I have found that I really do enjoy financial planning, boy did I major in the wrong subject in college!

And as for blogging, you are currently reading my second post of the year, so not too shabby!!!
