We'll see if I can do a blog with a baby at the keys. HAPPY 2009! I love the start of a new year, so fun and full of so many possibilities.
I have to admit I copied my dear friend Sara and made a poster to display our 2009 goals and the progress. The thoughts were there, but after seeing her brilliant idea with all the pretty colors, I just couldn't stop myself. I had to make one of these:
Our goals consist of a November 2009 Family Trip to Vegas, a new and shiny Flatscreen TV with Bose Surround Sound, and the rest towards Debt Reduction, A Tropical Trip (Hawaii would work), and a Trip to Ireland. The last 3 will likely be continued into 2010 but we thought we would throw them in anyway. :)
So the journey and challenges begin. I immediately started rummaging through the house trying to find things to sell. Then Ryan reminded me the idea was to SAVE not SELL. But I did inform him I would be looking for ways to save by making things myself. Anyone who knows how to make a baby bath-toy holder, please let us know. :)
So happy 2009 to all and here's to the beginning of new adventures and savings.
And a Special Thanks to My Dear Teacher Friend Sara Filly for this brilliant idea.
I am so glad I've influenced someone in a positive way! We'll have to work together to make sure our goals stick.
ReplyDeleteNow, as for a bath toy holder; get some fishing net and some suction cups and viola! Pottery Barn has them using colored nets, and they're like $20. I bet you could do it for less than $3.
