Here's how I did last week:
1. Have a baby! Really thought this was going to be the week, but apparently Travis is taking after Mommy and Daddy already and is going to be late!
2. Look into selling ad space. Check! If you're interested in sponsoring, you can actually go to this page here to check out prices or swap! Also, get 50% off using the promo code "ADSALE" :)
3. Meal plan. All done, and very cheap and hopefully realistic. Let's just say we're having lots of Campbell's canned soup and Hamburger Helper this week. ;)
4. Organize desk. Yes! I got so much done yesterday! Desk organized, bathroom cleaned, kitchen cleaned, dishes done, nursery finished, can you say nesting?! I am so ready for this baby.
5. Nursery mobile. All done and I love it!! Can't wait to write up a post about it and show you guys how it turned out!!
4/5 and one being out of my control is definitely a good week.

Now for this week:
1. Have a baby--without being induced. At my last appointment on Friday (I was 39 weeks 5 days), doctor already brought up induction! She offered to induce me Thursday the 31st, but Jon and I both agreed that we want to wait and see if Travis will make his way out on his own. So let's hope he decides to make an appearance! I'd really rather not go all the way to 42 weeks only to have to induce anyways!
2. Make friendship bracelets. This is something I've always loved to do since I was a little girl. I've been working on some this week, and Jon just looks at me like a pitiful little orphan girl or something and has no idea how they entertain me for hours, but I love it. And did you know that people actually sell these things on Etsy, too?! So I'm trying to see if maybe I make enough, I can open an Etsy shop, too! How cool would that be?
3. Eat what I planned out each night this week. Unless of course something legit comes up, like giving birth or free dinner at a family member's house. Never turn down free food. But if nothing is going on, I don't want any excuses not to make anything. I hate cooking but that needs to change.
4. Sort out who is going to get what pictures. Jon and I got our first couple's pictures done recently and still need to divvy them up and give them out! And of course frame a few for ourselves, because we want to be like all the other vain couples with pictures of ourselves on our wall. :)
5. Spend less than $20 at the grocery store. I'm trying to give couponing a go, and I'm hoping I'll be able to find some coupons for the things we need this week so that I won't have to spend more than $20! If I can keep a $20 weekly grocery budget, we will be all set. But I don't even know if that's possible.

Happy Monday everybody! Have a good week!


You did great on your goals for the week. Travis is just extremely happy where he is.
ReplyDeleteHave you ever purchased in bulk, like at Whole Foods? It's way cheaper than buying things boxed, you can get things like oatmeal, rice, quinoa, granola and nuts. I also shop at local farmers markets for inexpensive produce. (: Can't wait to "meet" Travis! You did great on your goals!
ReplyDeleteI'm a new follower to your blog! I actually follow you on twitter as well! Looking forward to getting to know you via blog! Baby will be here before you know it! When's your due date?! How exciting!!!
ReplyDeleteAlso, I loooove making friendship bracelets as well! When I was younger I used to spend hours making friendship bracelets! There's something very nostalgic about friendship bracelets!
Good choice on waiting to see if he comes naturally. Inductions can be intimidating! Can't wait to see the mobile!
ReplyDeleteGood luck on reaching your goals this week!
ReplyDeleteHappy to follow you back.

4/5 is AWESOME especially because the one you missed it out of your control! I'm so proud of you! You have some great goals for this week ahead, too! I really think you can do it! Oh, and I really CANNOT wait to see your sweet baby boy! I hope he makes his appearance soon! Thanks for linking up with us!
ReplyDeleteInductions are tough. Hope he comes soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm excited for you and Jon! I got so restless waiting for our first that we went out the weekend before, took the bus across town to the movie theatre, saw the new Star Trek flick, had dinner and took the bus home again in the rain!
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself and your menfolk! :O) Sending prayers, blessings, good thoughts & karma and whatever other support possible. :O)
