5 for Five

Here's how I did last week:

1. Create a monthly budget. Instead, I've decided to incorporate this into a Finance February segment I'm going to host on the blog in order to help me (and hopefully some of you) save a few bucks! :)

2. Go shopping for Jon's birthday! And the little jerk already found his present when he was poking around in my desk, too! (Well, really, our desk, and really, I should have wrapped it already.) But he's already opened it and using it now, since it was a headset for his Xbox because the cat chewed through the wire of his other one. He begged me to let him use the headset even though I still wanted to make him wait for his birthday!

3. Clean out my purse. Done! Thank goodness, man, it was getting out of control!

4. Get my nails done. You can actually see my post about it here. :)

5. Final touches on nursery! We finally got the dresser all painted and back in the room with all of his clothes and everything folded in it! I'll post about the painting adventure soon. :)

4/5, not too shabby! Especially since one I deliberately waited on. Very productive week!

Now for this week:

1. Have a baby! Now that I'm due in less than a week, hopefully this is the week he decides to come!!

2. Look into selling ad space. I want to expand my blog and make it bigger, and I'm also kind of broke since I haven't been working as much. I've been planning on starting to sell ad spaces rather than swap when I reach 300 followers, but I may start sooner. We'll see!

3. Meal plan. And work on grocery budget. Our grocery money has gone down significantly and I'm worried about how we're going to pay for food/groceries. So I definitely need to start meal planning and keeping track of all of our food expenses.

4. Organize desk. My favorite blog, IHeart Organizing, is having home office month this January, so I need to get my desk organized in honor of it! We've already moved it out of the nursery and into the dining/living area (which I love), and it's mostly organized, but a few touch-ups never hurt. :)

5. Nursery mobile. I still need to get this done! I've gotten all of the supplies for it, now, though, so the only thing left is to just sit down and craft!

Happy Monday everybody! Have a good week!
