Create a no spend day

For the next month on I will teach you to be rich Ramit is hosting a series on how to save $1,000 in 30 days. Guess what tip number seven is... "create a no spend day once a week"

I'm starting to wonder if he's been reading the blogs around here lately. Having no spend days, weeks(ends), or even months is starting to become a trend (but hopefully not just a fad).

Which this post reminds me, next weekend is our November No Spend Weekend. I'm so looking forward to a nice quiet weekend at home.

Anyone else planning a no spend something this November?

Ideas needed

It's been another one of those weeks here at On Our Way. You know how it is just when I thought we'd have some free time to clean the house, finish the bathroom (and the THREE other projects I started - b/c I'm crazy), craft a little, and catch up on blogging something much more important comes up. I try to keep extended family out of the blog but my younger sister was diagnosed with pneumonia and a kidney infection last night - sometime this morning. Since she is only 11 and has down syndrome it can make hospital stays extra interesting; therefore, Matt and I are taking turns staying with her so my Mom can get some rest. I do promise to return to a regular blogging schedule soon with hopefully a new header as well (finally).

Until then I'm looking for some ideas from you! I would like to put together a listing of some great holiday gifts, preferably homemade and even better if it's (up)recycled in some way. Have the perfect item in mind? Shoot me an email at meg@onourwayonline.com and your idea could be featured at On Our Way in the near future.
