+ I have used the same purse for the last six years. Just one purse! She has served me well, but I knew it was time to retire her when my four-year-old starting peeling off flaky pieces of faux leather during Mass. Because I’m the most boring person in the world, I found a similar replacement (same brand, same size) on Poshmark for less than $20!
+ Mark gave haircuts to three of the boys. I gave my daughter a big trim – about four inches off and she looks so cute!
+ I shredded junk mail to add to my compost pile.
+ I listed and sold a handful of books I’ve finished and don’t see myself reading again.
+ I used the water collected from our basement dehumidifier to water my plants.
+ I bought a new skirt (secondhand) and found a small hole in one of the pockets. Two minutes and a quick stitch later, it’s good as new!
+ Our well-used fitted sheet got a rip in it, so we had to buy a new set. The flat sheet of the old set is still in great condition, so I’m keeping it to use as a quilt backing or for some other project.
+ The hens are laying more than 90 eggs a week and we are loving the free protein source!
+ I started working on a little homemade Christmas present for each of the kids. I even found a coupon to use at Joann’s too!
