I made a slight change to our Disney trip. I must be feeling over confident, or maybe I just really, really need a vacation, because instead of using POP as our placeholder resort, I went ahead and upgraded to Caribbean Beach Resort! This still may change, I’m hoping for some sweet discounts to come out next year, but I guess we’ll just have to see. As it stands right now, I’m ok with CBR. It looks like it will be fun! Although honestly, I’d be ok with anywhere as long as we could have a vacation.
I’ve made some headway on the Christmas shopping dilemma I had a few posts ago! I’m keeping my eyes open for subscription kits- more specifically, deals on subscription kits. I want to catch them at least 50% off, grab a subscription box, cancel auto renew and hide them until Christmas! This is a nice, frugal gift that can create some great experiences for us. I am also going to purchase some new arts and craft items. Kiddo and I have started doing a some fun new crafts, though she’s always been an artist. I’m thinking we can expand her repertoire a bit into some more complicated art mediums and kits. I also think I’m going to get her a gift card so she can buy herself something. She’s been showing an interest not only in cash (which she hoards…good girl!) but also in using our cards on the rare times she gets to go out to a store. It’s nice to have some kind of a game plan, though don’t worry- kiddo will still get a few toys and goodies.
I love to grab a Kohl’s Cares book and plush- and Kohl’s has some fantastic Disney plushes right now!
Y’all, I got a BIG focus group payout! I’m so tickled. Even better, I was able to get a Disney gift card as my payment. That makes it so much easier for me, no moving money around or the temptation to spend it on something else.
