We felt we needed to safe money for it and thus we went around the house to see what we could get rid of, in order to get something we really wanted. It's a great process. Sometimes painful too right? Just now I was in Starbucks, I broke my mug a few weeks back and saw a mug I really really liked. I ran into the mug again today and decided against it because just maybe I really do not need another mug ;-)Hopehttp://maddychristinehope.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-684802537865104750.post-88429014349968074302014-08-20T09:16:17.436-04:002014-08-20T09:16:17.436-04:00Carloads!
