I need help!!!


Everytime I say I am going to stop spending money and do some super saving... I go on crazy shopping sprees and take on new projects that require spending money.
2 Weeks ago, we bought Katie a little people farm because she LOVES her little people dollhouse - we spend the money on it because we thought she needed a new big toy to occupy her.
She barely even looks at it - so that was 50 bucks down the drain. (I might put it away though and give it to her for Christmas instead)

Then I decided she needed a toy box - and I found one at the local consignment shop... $40 bucks there (totally worth it!!! my living room looks like a semi-adult room again) Katie even helped clean it out with the swiffer last night.


Then I decided to go to a tag sale down the street and we walked away with a trunk full of stuff all for $18.
I got her:
  • a Fisher Price Laugh and learn chair with a little desk attached with music and letters and numbers(batteries still in it)
  • A little toy desktop computer that makes noises and plays games and has a keyboard and mouse attached
  • A dragon ball toy that makes music and lights up that I have been looking for forever and is VERY hard to find
  • A Melissa and Doug wooden puzzle
  • A Mickey Mouse & Cookie Monster
  • A TMX Cookie Monster that retails for $40
I need to be stopped! No more stuff for Katie or for us unless it's stuff we absolutely NEED and can't live without.

(Except that I think she really needs a little plastic table and chair that's her size so she can color on it for the living room... but clearly that doesn't count!!!!)

I might also want to get a dining room table for us with at least 4 chairs like a normal family (we only have 2 still) and perhaps another dresser or something for Katie's ever increasing wardrobe - but none of that counts because it's definitely all stuff that we all really NEED as opposed to want. RIGHT????






Someone help me!!!!!!

Crap, I just remembered we also went to the craft store and bought new crayons and some easel paper so I could turn one of our living room walls into an easel... You can see our creations behind the chair 2 pictures up!
