March Spending
The honest answer for this month: I almost didn't write everything down because I was/am embarrassed at how much I spent!! Especially after being so restrained last month. Yes, we had Spring Break, I got several presents for the girls' friends' birthday parties and we did crafts. But that's no excuse. The reason I spent money was because I spent it! And I nickeled and dimed at the AG Store and ended up with a crazy amount of goods that the girls are LOVING. It was hard to pass up $10 dogs and $14 outfits... in fact, it wasn't hard to pass it up because I chose not to pass it up and bought them.
Hoping this month ends soon (it's March 21 as I write this) just so I can have a fresh start. Though I do realize a fresh start can begin now. I don't have to wait to make changes.
