Couponing

So I have entered the world of couponing.. What was I thinking all that time just tossing them out! 

Garden

The garden is growing well.  We are getting lots of cucumbers, basil, dill, onions and the tomatoes are  plenty.   Little things in life get in the way of the big things.  Need to refocus!  Want to be free of these walls!

I think this would be a great thing to do!

I want to hike here!

I will never eat boiled watered down corn on the cob again!  Check it out :)  I love it!

Plan for the day

I have posted pics of my  garage (sigh)  I have been working on cleaning it out.  I have not been doing a good job.  It is hard with a 2 year old  as anyone can tell you.  Trying to do anything with a toddler is like trying to sweep the floor with a six pack of energy filled kittens intent on killing that thing that keeps swooshing across the floor.  Not to mention they must attack the pile of dirt because it has obviously offended them also. 

 

OK, I got off topic... My plan for the day is to see how many e-Bay auctions I an post.  Sometimes

e-Bay has a special and you can list many auctions for free.  Today's special is 1000 auctions.  Last night when I was intent to list many auctions I got 7 up (sigh).  

 

I must say I feel like I will accomplish my goal today because of the man I love so much.  I ask him OK what is the goal for the number of auctions we will list?  His answer  "What ever we can do"  with goals like that how can you fail.  I think I will set my goals in this way from now on.  If I list 2 or 200 the goal has been achieved!  That feels nice.

 

A chunk of glass I listed on e-Bay this week and it SOLD!

 

Tell your family and friends

When your goal is to clean out your home of all unneeded things, make sure you tell your family and friends.  My family are very giving people.  We (none of us) have a lot of money but we would give each other anything.  Some of the lady's in my family like to go to yard sales and after they will often show up with an arm full of goodies for you.  How rude if you do not take them, and they will be hurt.  So make sure you let them know what you are doing so they can help by not bringing you lots of finds :)

Minimalism unexpected rewards

In my journey to have more by having less a great thing happened yesterday.  I am cleaning house and listed one of my oil paintings on eBay.   In my opinion my paintings are like a child's art.  However I feel so honored that my painting did not only sell.  The first bid on it was from an ART COLLECTOR!  I feel very validated :)
