Last week finally ran a bit more smoothly than the past few weeks had gone. So we were able to get some things accomplished. Yay!
We really are nearing the end of the year at a rapid pace, so it’s time for us to take a look at what we wanted to accomplish this year. There are a couple of time sensitive things that can’t be accomplished now, but overall we are marching towards our bigger goals pretty well.
Here’s how we did last week:
Home and Barn
Begin bathroom projectI’m so happy that this has begun! Check it out here.- List 5 items on eBay (Wanted to turn this into a yard sale, but the weather didn’t cooperate.)
Declutter 10 items- Clean out barn pens (Got this started, but not finished.)
- Earn 250 Swagbucks (Got halfway there)
Hang laundry 3 timesAvoid trips to the local dollar type store (this has been leaking too much money!)Make muffins for easy lunches and travelFamily Goals
Visit a pumpkin patch that’s real sincereGather materials for costumes- Date night w/ the hubs (Fail!)
Blog Goals

Are you headed towards a good end for your yearly goals? Anything you still need to work towards to feel accomplished in 2015?
I'm Jamie, and I want to help your family learn how to save money without that "martyr" feeling. 
I am enjoying following your blogging goals. As a new blogger, it’s so easy to keep blogging late into the night, but I always regret it the next day. I may have to adopt your goal of finishing blog work by 9:30.
Me, too! It’s so easy to think “Oh, I’ll just do this one more thing.” Then that “one more thing” actually involves 10 different steps that wind up rabbit holing you into a whole blog redesign that lasts until 1 am. Sheesh. I have been sticking to my 9:30 rule and I actually find it freeing now!
