Oh my heavens. What a week we had last week. Not a very frugal one at all! And busy, busy.
So when I looked over my goals list for the week, I was surprised to realize that I’d done better with the baby steps I had planned for the week than I first realized! I’m glad that I was able to make the most of down time between doctor appointments and craziness.
I was only able to do that because I had a plan in place. But I also realize that the plan has to wiggle at the pace of real life. So if I don’t make every goal on my list, I’m totally ok with that. Just as long as I can see some movement towards our bigger yearly goals.
Here’s how we did last week:
Home/Barn
- Choose a new bathroom sink (Haven’t found anything great so far, still shopping!)

Congrats on getting so much done last week!
I got…very little done last week. And then a bunch of stuff on Sunday. I’ve been battling the jaw pain for the past week or so, though, so I’ve at least a good excuse!
This week, there is no sight of the pains stopping, either, so it will be a matter of getting as much done while able to do so, and trying to relax the rest of the time. Or at least not make it hurt any more than it already does! 😉
Rest up and feel better soon!
Kudos to you for getting so much done! Seems like you are quite the busy bee 🙂 I can’t wait to see what kind of deal you get on your bathroom sink! Thanks to your blog, I have started reading for pleasure again, so thank you for that.
Wow, that’s a big compliment. 🙂 Thanks so much!
I’m finally getting caught up on some writing and blog posts. There has been so much going on I just haven’t had a chance, but now I’m away from home in California I can concentrate! Thank you for sharing your goals and your progress with us at Hearth and Soul, Jamie. It’s lovely to see your progress and know that everyone struggles to get everything done!!
