I know, I know, it is 2019! But I wanted to share with you the planner I used in 2018. I am using the same brand of planners for 2019, but I am trying out a different style. I want to use it a few weeks before I tell you all about it so I know how it works for me! So let me share with you my 2018 planner and how it evolved over the year!
This fall we really didn’t get to spend enough time at the Gardens. It was just too wet or cold. We did make it to see the Galaxy of Lights then we spent one morning there too. We walked around the children’s gardens, but we also went out discovering other areas on that day too. Check it out below!
Christmas is so special now that we have Melody in our lives. And now that is she getting older, she is able to understand more about everything that revolves around Christmas. And we are still as busy as every during the holidays.
For this year’s trip to Opryland, we wanted to go back at Christmastime. Last year we visited in the summer, and while it was far less crowded, it wasn’t as festive. They did have events going on, but nothing can compare to Opryland at Christmas. We loved our visit in 2016 at Christmas, so we decided to do it again!
I was really hoping Santa pictures this year would go off without a tear. Melody’s first year doing Santa pictures with my aunt went about as perfectly as it could. They were gorgeous! Last year we were unable to do pictures with my aunt, so we went to see a mall Santa. She was terrified! She was going through a phase were she was scared of most men and elderly people. Her fear as minimized a lot, but she still has general stranger danger. But we have really talked up Santa and shown her pictures to help with this year’s pictures with my aunt.
Thanksgiving 2018 is in the books! We had a lot of fun, ate a lot of food, and spent a lot of time with our families!
A few years ago I posted a budget spreadsheet template that we have been using regularly. This year I decided to make a change to next year's spreadsheet. I wanted to put all of the entries in one tab instead of individual monthly tabs. I did this so that we had a better view for the entire year if we wanted to view it that way. You can still filter by month if you want to view it that way too. The budget itself is still by month, but you can still view it yearly too. I have been using this new version for September and so far in October, and we have loved it. I wanted to go ahead and share it with you all in case you want to start working on your 2018 budget!
