February Spending

February flew by pretty fast this time around. I attended my sister's baby shower, we received our tax return from the feds (CA is still processing) and did some more purging of my closet.

I'm getting used to my new job and role, but I kind of feel like i'm still wearing multiple hats and trying to keep things in balance and in check.

But other than that, we're hanging in there pretty steady.We did a lot of one time purchases which i'm sure i'll go into more detail in future posts.... But we are loving family Hammock time and we're pretty thrilled with our DIY Folding Bed replacement for the new to us couch we inherited from our church friends.

We are also rocking a few new clothes and i've been enjoying a final closet purge. Little man is almost 2 and i'm at the point of finally purging all the clothes that don't make me happy anymore and that don't fit after having a toddler. It's so freeing to get rid of clothes that make you sad and replace them with ones that make you feel happy :)
