No Spend February Project List

February 28, 2014

No Spend Month Saving Money

Winter is really pounding us this year which shouldn’t be a surprise as I live in the mid-west.  So what better time to get some projects for the home knocked out then during No Spend February?  These are those annoying, half done projects that I don’t really like doing.  I thought I’d keep a list […]

February 23, 2014

No Spend Month Saving Money

Yes, it’s only half way because we really didn’t start until the hubby’s first paycheck in February so we are going into March with this, 4 weeks, two paychecks, close enough to a month.    Although we were poor the first week of February anyways so let’s say 5 weeks of no spend.    This […]

While wandering through TJ Maxx one day, I found this awesome zebra contact paper on clearance for $3.  I have held onto this paper, hoping to use it in my home someday but not really sure when or on what.  Originally I was thinking maybe for my hubby’s office but he was not a big […]

No Spend Month Saving Money

The smack is getting laid down, the belt is getting tightened and sadly I won’t be at Target this month, that’s right friends, we are going on a spending fast.   Don’t ask us to do anything fun in the month of February unless it’s free or you want to pay for us.  :p   […]

french doors, black doors, entryway

The other day when I looked at my powder room door and so how gross, dirty and blah it looked, I grabbed my paint brush, some black ACE Cabinet, Door & Trim paint and decided I’d had enough. I already have a few black doors in our home, the french doors and also the insides […]
