2013

Happy New Year! I hope you had a great New Year's Eve {and New Year's Day, my new favorite holiday}.  I've been thinking about New Year's resolutions, particularly the stereotypical ones like working out more or eating one green smoothie a day, but I wanted to think of a few that somehow related to my no shopping vow.  I thought about challenging myself to be more frugal by not only not shopping, but engaging in MORE activities that cost nothing at all.  I have been good about not breaking my no shopping rule {almost 8 months strong!}, but there are things I love to do that involve spending, such as going out to brunch and meeting my friends for a cocktail.  Here is a list of things to do I want to keep in mind throughout the year that cost NOTHING:

- go hiking in Yellow Springs

- cook MORE homemade meals

- walk around Victorian Village to look at all of the pretty homes

- have homemade picnics in Goodale Park

- have game nights {Apples to Apples and Scrabble are favorites!}

- have movie nights at home with friends

- spend time on the beach on Lake Erie

- go for walks around unexplored areas of the Short North

So, those are my "resolutions!" Here's to hoping I stick to them! What are some of your resolutions?
