Budget = Trees

So is it within the budget?  This is the new question that is first asked in the Curtice household.  I love this question.  WHAT?????  Who is this girl and what alien pod like creature is replacing her?


 I know, right........ old me would avoid the check book like the plague.  When the check book would rear its ugly head and show all my transgressions I would feel shame and buyers regret.

There is some great freedom to the budget talk I totally did not expect.  I uses to go out and spend on what I thought we needed, and now it seems I first think what do we NEED.   Then we seriously talked about where we were and where we wanted to be in two years .   That does clarify a lot of issues ( Vacation issues in my very first blog So the night started pretty normal)

So now that hubby and I are on the same page we now have a two year plan to be debt free.  How exciting is this !!!!  I feel God is truly guiding us in this path I don't have that sick feeling in the pit of my stomach when we discuss the budget any more. Now that the coupon craze has passed me by I can focus on the budget and not if I have the 2 for 1 at blah blah blah.  This works for some I just found lack of printer ink and brain drain was not worth it!

 So as we take this path we found the room for the land next door.  Not only land but Trees... TREES!

I grew up swinging in them like a little spider monkey.  If my mother wondered were I was she would look to the trees or the river.  This was common with me and my two older siblings.  So now to be able to give this new and delightful experience to my children is a greater gift than any Wii or DS game could ever give.  My oldest child is biting at the bit to get out to the woods and start hacking and slashing.

  That fills this momma with a pride that could bust out of me if I didn't have a body to hold it within!  So as we plan out our awesome three tiered Ewok village in the trees, I leave you all in the day dreams of yesterday, in your own tree fort.  God Bless
