no spend & no drive day

My youngest was home sick today, so we didn't go anywhere. My hubby did a little shopping for me (we needed some Pedialyte and Gatorade), but I didn't spend and I didn't drive, so I'm counting it in my favor!

Today I worked on organizing my cookbook binder and getting my coupons together for this week's grocery trip. Most of what I'm cooking this week is from the pantry and freezer, so this week's shopping trip is mainly to stockpile and to get supplies for our Valentine's dinner.

another no spend day

Woo Hoo! My 3rd no-spend day of the year! It's hard to blog on the weekend, so I'll update more on Monday!

what a productive day

Today was such a productive day! I finished getting our suitcases unpacked and everything put away. Laundry is caught up and put away. My bedroom is straightened and floor vacuumed. I CLEANED my oldest son's room and vacuumed. Made homemade cookies for an after school snack. Let the boys go back in the woods and didn't complain when the came in with mud COVERING their bodies, clothes and boots. (Who could complain when they were grinning from ear to ear -- they had a great time back there). What else? Got my youngest to basketball practice and was able to read part of my book (Picture Perfect). Dinner was a quick dinner - but made from home. And the greatest accomplishment of today - it was a NO SPEND DAY!!! Woo Hoo!!!

And something to add here that is on my 210 Things to Do in 2010...

What I'm greatful for today:
having a great yard and piece of land for exploring
making it thru my 2nd no spend day of the year

my FIRST no spend day!!!

Woo Hoo!!!! FINALLY...I had my first no-spend day of the year. I'm so excited. I think the key will definitely be to pair my no drive and no spend days together. Seems that everyday I'm in the car, I'm running errands and spending money. Today, the only place I had to drive was to my tennis lesson and I could've certainly taken the golf cart for that instead of the car

Not sure when my next no-spend day will be. Probably late next week. Tomorrow and Thursday I have to prep to leave for vacation and will be on vacation until Tuesday. Lots of spending will be going on...
