Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

Spending Out

March 16, 2021

Last year about this time it became about saving money – inadvertently – but saving money none the less. This year? Spending out. We are behind in things like haircuts and new clothing so it’s time to get back out there and get caught up. With the vaccine rolling out and things improving I feel it’s the right time. We are still masking up and still social distancing and not going to too many places though – it’s not over yet.

My kids are on spring break so the timing was right for haircuts. We haven’t done that in over a year although we did try to do it ourselves last summer. Not perfect but it got the job done. Two kids now have much shorter hair with two more to go.

We also did a little clothes shopping while we were out and found a few things for two of my daughters. I even found a couple of things for me. A win-win.

I recently bought a pair of shoes online as well – the pair it replaced was getting really well worn and needed to go (bought in 2019).

I did a spend out at Ulta after the winter storm last month and will be doing a haul from Sephora soon as well. My skincare is running out and I’m getting ready for the spring and summer season.

We are still spending out fixing our house up and I need to contact our plumber and a contractor for the next phase. The water lines all need to be replaced and there’s a bathroom reno as well that’s long overdue. Hopefully to be started by May or June.

So, it’s been a little brighter around here lately and I feel more hopeful going into this spring and summer. Hope your days are getting to be brighter too. Peace.

Damn, I’m surprised you went to a hair place. Were they cutting hair outdoors?

No, but they are limiting customers and you must wear a mask inside. The first day they were 3 customers (including us) and the second day it was just us. That said - the girls hair was so long and it just had to get done and we are not hairdressers. The kiddos feel much better now.
