One of the biggest questions in our minds when we are considering a house that needs renovations is “how much?”, so I’ve taken it upon myself to cost out the renovations for a new kitchen, new flooring, bathroom upgrades and painting. I don’t know if you’ve checked recently, but renovations are EXPENSIVE! Comparison Shop.

Christmas is now less than 6 WEEKS away. Back in June I wished you all a Merry 6 Months Until Christmas and now we are down to 6 weeks. I don't remember why we waited so long, but we took on a house renovation project in December and planning for that threw me for a loop. Can you believe it?

I created the Gift Spending Budget spreadsheet to start planning for the next Christmas because I NEVER wanted to feel that out of control again. When the following Christmas rolled around, we were able to use cash and slept quite soundly in January knowing there wouldn’t be any large bills in our mailbox.

Our original plan was to purge our junk to get ready for the renovation, but when our contractor had a cancelation, we jumped at the chance of not waiting 8 weeks to have our project started. Christmas decor, gift wrap/bags, and other holiday stuff. My list of decluttering/purging projects for the year: kitchen. foyer closet.

But the real fun comes out for Christmas because it’s my husband’s favorite holiday to decorate for. In fact, when the Christmas decorations come down, that’s our cue to take the chance to de-clutter the entire house. However, by about the middle of January, I’m ready for it to come down.
