52 Weeks Savings Plan Update

By

Did you join up to participate in the 52 Weeks Savings Plan this year? I decided to do it because we do not have Christmas money budgeted and I wanted to make sure we had cash for Christmas. The idea was to put in $1 the first week of the year, $2 the second week, $3 the third week, all the way up to $52 the final week of the year. With that plan, you could have $1378 saved by the end of the year.

I was very diligent in saving the money for several months. Then we started to "dip into it". It dwindled down and down and down. But, I have managed to get it replenished and caught back up. I now have $405 in my savings jar! We will NOT be touching this money, for any reason, for the rest of the year and I will make sure I put my weekly savings in each week.

It takes dedication to stuff that cash into the jar every two weeks. But, when Christmas rolls around I know I am going to be so glad I did!

It's not too late to get started! You might not end up with $1378, but you could have just under $1000! Here's the plan ...

A New Year, the Same Me

By
Happy 2019! It is that day of the year where everybody is up extra early starting their new exercise routine, eating only healthy foods, cracking open the pages of a new planner and Bible study, and debuting their Word for the year. You chuckle or roll your eyes, but you are doing at least three of these things. By the way, so am I. So let's start with the Word of the Year. Mine this year is Lagom. It's the Swedish word for "not too little, not too much, just right". It's a concept of being, doing or having just enough. So let's rewind to last New Year's Day. My Word was Might. And that's how I planned to tackle my year. And, I did. I worked out hard, I mommed hard, I traveled hard, I worked hard. And it was a good season. It prepared the way for this year. I accepted the Challenge I set for myself and succeeded. But, I don't need to keep up that pace. I am at a place in my life where I can kind of sit back and enjoy my life without f...

Science Sunday ~ Hmmm ... Let Me Think About It!

By
This week in our study of the Human Body , Brynne moved on to the Nervous System . Our first stop was a Pamela Hill Nettleton book called, Think, Think, Think: Learning About Your Brain . As part of our discussions about the brain , and the fact that it's the BOSS of the body, we discussed the importance of the spinal cord . We did a hands on spinal cord project by alternating gummy Life Savers and wagon wheel pasta on a pipe cleaner. We talked about why there was the "squishy" stuff in between the vertebra and how the back can bend and sway because of it. We completed "The Brynne" by adding the stomach, small intestine and large intestine, from our study last week of the Digestive System (although I just realized I have the large intestine coming out of the stomach, when the small intestine should be) and the brain and spinal cord. We are now done talking about the parts of the body and will conclude our study of the Human Body with a two-day unit ...
