I did make an attempt with my spending hiatus, which has gone pretty well; but I really feel like I’m being called to look at and work on [...] [...] Over the last few weeks the nudges are getting a little less gentle.

In fact, we're moving to England in a few months and we'll hardly take anything with us. And still I buy cute jackets, shoes, serving dishes... Shame on me! I have to say though, retail therapy is awfully therapeutic! :) If only I could go on a spending haiatus… In fact, we’re moving to England in a few months and we’ll hardly take anything with us.

Jana- you and I are too much alike! :) I know why God didn't give me a girl! I'd probably buy things twice as much, because girl's clothes are SOOO cute- then you got shoes, jewelry, hair accessories, etc.! Its too easy to buy for children... especially when I go to Goodwill, consignment stores or somewhere that I find great things really cheap! :) Since we've started the Dave Ramsey program, we have done an envelope for Child Care. Anything that C needs or wants like shampoo, diapers, toys, books- anything besides clothing and food... we have a certain amount of money that we have decided to spend on his extras. It works for us. That way I have a certain amount that I can spend and I don't get carried away... Now clothes is a whole other problem! I go crazy on ebay for cute summer shortalls and smocked church outfits. :) Now when I stay home in December and I have more free time to go out and shop and FIND sales.... I might have to go on a spending freeze also! Ha Ha! Jana- you and I are too much alike! I know why God didn’t give me a girl!
