Love, bubs and life on our little farm

So this is actually a stash of shopping from a few weeks ago. How good are the current deals in the shops!? I am trying so hard to not buy too much at the moment as we have made the decision to "live simpler" and try to stop being quite so much the yuppy consumers - its a slippery slope once you start earning good incomes and we are endeavouring to stay grounded and avoid complacency in our budgeting. There are some big costs to still to go on the farm - we have to finish landscaping,building fences and fixing up our driveway and carport area and we have plans for a big overseas trip in 2013 and also a second layer of deck with a pool still to build. So time to buckle down and concentrate on our big goals.

Ironically, it is quite easy to "live simply" when you have just bought a stash of great winter Portmans clothes (including some great biker jeans that I adore!), cute new shoes (including these fantastic new boots below which are cute and super comfy!) and you have just ordered yourself a gorgeous new designer handbag ;) so the test will come in the next few months when I am trying to resist new scarves, cuddly wrap cardigans and cute tweed skirts for work.


Wish me luck!
