Today I helped my very oldest friend clean a little in her new home. She has waited so patiently and I am so excited for her and her family to get such a wonderful home that they could afford in a great area! Visiting her and helping just a little bit in their great home adventure reminded me of when I first got my home. It was a stressful experience, but OH SO wonderful to have a house of our own. We have been so very happy working on things in our home, making it ours, etc. However, over the last few years we’ve also accumulated too much clutter and our house is in need of a good deep cleaning and decluttering!

Seeing all the potential in my friend’s new home, and knowing the joy it will bring her and her family gave me a little boost, or motivation if you will, to get my own house back in shape.

Chunk of Change

I recently took in my “piggy bank” of change, I had originally planned to wait until it was full, but it was getting heavy already and I’m trying hard to pay down my debt asap, so I took it in to my bank.

Lucky for me my bank has a free coin machine (like coinstar but free for customers) and guess how much I got? A little over $300. The bank teller remarked, “that’s a nice chunk of change!”

Oh yes, it was! It went straight to my credit card too, I’m happy to get it down any little bit so this was awesome.
