The Budget Mom Inspired Room

 Had a total of 6 full days off from both jobs and it went way too fast yet I am so blessed to have  had a vacation for the first time since 2011. I didn’t go anywhere yet was able to sleep, decorate, journal, cook - repeat. For the first time since 2012 ;I created my goals in one living area. 

I have a budget area thanks to The Budget Mom and her inspiring  Budget by Paycheck planner and money principles. My sinking fund envelopes are displayed as a reminder along with my cute piggy bank filled with savings challenges . I feel this is going to help challenge myself to do better than last year. Still have more to work on yet wanted to share  and give you ideas so we don’t stop in a few months. Motivation to keep going all year long. We can do this. 👩‍🌾❤️ I did it last year and it makes a difference to keep going , keep striving - just be better then you were the previous month. If you fall behind, just reset. 👩‍🌾❤️

The Buy Nothing Project

  Have you heard of the The Buy Nothing Project ? If you haven't - you should read up on it. 

 I was introduced to the project by a friend who kept saying Oh I got it free from my FB group- find your neighborhood group and join- awe its free. I did and have no regrets. The odd thing is its basically like a door bell dash - so you are NEVER meeting in person. Living up a mountain in a rural area, I volunteer to drop off -still never meeting the person. 

Here's what my group looks like - find one in your area and give and receive free items. Be a part of doing good for the environment and with humans in general. 

Look at my latest "free" item. I love it! A Wilson Leather back pack only used once. The giver only wore it once then was told she could work from home permanently- so she offered it on the Buy Nothing Group. Many of us wanted it  so she did a raffle wheel and I won! 

Housesitting Advice

Started house sitting a few years back and it’s not for most people yet I enjoy it. It does get you out of a normal routine. It does make you appreciate home more. 

These are pics from my stay. 

This one was 13 nights. 

Biggest advice? 

Leave it cleaner then they left it. 

This rule will always get you call backs and referrals.

 Okay Friends, Here’s the charm I have for sale. It comes with a box and in mint condition. 

As you can see I have been researching cost and price points. 

What do you think this would sell for? 

Here are some similar items I found on line. Most sellers will put a high price then say they are $30 off ! 

I’m thinking $65

Give me your thoughts.

Urban Planter for The Sweetwater Community Garden

Renting a plot at the Sweetwater Community Garden in November. Seriously looking at getting this. 

I really think the metal will last longer then the wood type. We don't have an overhang in the garden to act as a protector. 

Definitely looking at starting an herb garden which I have to research to see what is good to plant in the winter months. 

Here are some garden picks: Rachel's Rose Mercantile Garden Picks
