Things from my wishlist I bought last month to make my life better 😉
This new bed for 2 of our kids: their current bed is unfortunately too small for them, so we'll be donating it. We had this for 2 months or so on our wishlist!
A new bathing suit: the bathing suit I had for years broke and it's also too big for me now 😅 so I bought this one from a boutique, to help a small business.
I bought a plastic pool for my kids... it's summer and the ROI is high because they love it and use it almost daily 💙
Date night with my husband: we went to the movies and bought cocktails and snacks...we don't go to dates often (trying to change that) but we had a great time! Money well spent 🥰
Spending mindfully isn't the same as being cheap. Being a smart spender also doesn't mean never buying anything! It means valuing quality over quantity. It means buying things you want, but consciously and not by impulse 🫶
