    Last February I was part of your no spend challenge. It really helped me to reset my finances. But, I did a bit of overspending for Christmas, so I decided on a no spend January and started on the 1st. The first few days take some self-control, but then it gets easier. I tell myself I can only purchase essentials, also I want to be a good steward of the money God has given me. I encourage everyone to try this for one month, it will change how you think about your finances.

    Janell here, there's a Christmas eve dinner tradition that hubby's mom started 60 some years ago. Hubby wants to still keep it going at our house which I have for the last 6 years, but I have tried to cut back which upsets him. The same for Christmas morning breakfast which thankfully is at our daughter's home. I don't bake all the cookies she did and he's better but still laments the past changes. How to make things simpler and not have a sad husband?

    Great ideas Teresa! I take my old calendar and go over anything important I need to transfer to my new calendar. Then I keep my old calendar for one year and pitch it at the new year so I always have the current year calendar and the previous year calendar to refer to… works great for me! I have had a simple Holiday notebook for years that includes Christmas and I simply record who I bought for and what I bought as Christmas gifts and what food we made for all the holidays and who was invited and who came. I evaluate after the holiday and decide if we had too much food, what we enjoyed, what wasn’t a hit. Then I make notes for the next year. It makes holiday planning streamlined and simple! Happy New Year! 🥳🤗💓

    Thanks for this great video! I have gained a lot of good habits in recent years, and I’m proud of myself for it. I’ve even kept ONE New Year’s Resolution for 25 years, and that is that I make my bed every day! But that’s literally probably the only resolution I’ve ever kept and I only made that resolution because I was at a party and you had to write one down and then they read them out loud and everyone had to try to guess whose resolution was who’s! One area that I need to work on is not watching so much UA-cam. I watch a lot of crafting videos, decluttering, videos, and thrift store shopping videos. My Internet went out a couple of weeks ago and they weren’t going to be able to come fix it for four days and I was pretty upset… But then realized I could use cell service to get coverage. So that was kind of an awakening.
