I’m about 2 weeks late and I have no idea how that happened. Wait, I do know how that happened and I really need to do something about it but what – I don’t know. Anyway, this isn’t about me and the madness that is my life. This is about Mary and her 30 Days of Nothing event.
Here’s how it works, in a nutshell (go read her post for the real details and then read the whole adventure.)
You do realize Mary has 8 children, right? She was attempting to feed 8 children on a $230 shopping trip and what was in her garden. Obviously, she hasn’t quite managed but look at what she HAS accomplished. And you must read the posts in order to see what’s going on in the minds of her family.
This is good stuff, people. 30 days of nothing – could you do it? If not, how close could you come? What would your children say? What would your partner say? How would you feel about your life when the month was over?
It’s too late for me to start it this month. But I’d like to try it.
It’s an interesting idea. Contrary to popular opinion, we aren’t extravagent spenders around here. So in a lot of ways, the kids wouldn’t even notice. Until we cut out sodas and ice cream – then they would notice.
I wish I had seen this idea last winter, I’d have totally tried it in January .
We might be able to do it in October, except for RJ’s birthday. Pondering, always pondering! 😉
