Good Things: April 2012

May 1, 2012

At the end of each day I write down at least one GOOD thing that happened, then I share them all here monthly. *** 1 – Lots of work on Project Life; getting all caught up on chores with Meredith in the Ergo. 2 – Another day off with a mildly sick Meredith and visiting David at work. 3 – Working a full day plus reading while Meredith napped, taking her for a run, doing chores for the next day, and cooking dinner & sitting down to eat it as a family.

April 23, 2012

I keep a fairly extensive universal wish list on Amazon. Anything I see or think of that I want I add to the list, and then periodically I’ll go through it to see if my desires or needs have changed, and I’ll do some deleting. This process works really well to help me save money and buy less stuff that I don’t need. Plus it’s kind of fun – like online shopping without actually spending money. But…it’s not exactly like shopping, because I don’t get the stuff. And we’re on a tight budget these days, so lately my wish list has been growing. If we had the funds, here are some things I would be buying right away. 1. Adobe…
