February is for Princesses
>> 2.23.2012
My mom was very sweet & sent Bree a Valentines Day card with $20 in it. Perfect timing as we were checking the mail as we drove off to Target. Bree FINALLY got the Barbie/Horse princess combo toy that she saw months ago but I didn't want to buy because it really cost too much and I wanted her to work and save for it, but lately she's been a bit lazy about doing chores and I'll admit I've been a bit lazy about enforcing the rules about doing chores. While at the Target store that day I was trying to find a cute outfit for her to have her school pictures taken in and came across the most beautiful pale pink princess dress ever (see picture), for only $20?! Seemed a good price to me, impulse buy. I said I wasn't going to do that anymore....
Needless to say February has not been my best month spending wise. I really did great in January but this month I've bought stuff I don't really need and have gone over on my grocery budget every week this month. So this week I'm on a spending fast. Haven't spent a dime. Yep. That's right. Trying to make up for the first half of the month's budget failures.
Did you know that Pueblo has this really adorable children's museum? We went down there end of January? or maybe it was the first weekend in February, can't remember. Adults are a measley $4 admission and kid's are like $3 to get in. We had fun.
After we were done we hit up the Cracker Barrel restaurant for some "home cookin'" and of course got trapped in their "store". Not fun with a kid. I want I want I want. And mommy is a sucker. Then she wants a sucker. I love that store!
It was really warm yesterday and today it snowed. I'm thinking this is one of our spring storms. Hey, it's almost March!! Come on spring. Read more...
