I don't know about you, but I am definitely a dreamer. I love dreaming about the future- kids, our own house, a new car, traveling to new places, a puppy, etc.
Then, reality sets in. Bills come in, cars breakdown, and the school loan is still there. Bummer. Guess the dreams have to go to the back burner...NOT TRUE! You know what the great thing is about a dream? Reality can't squash it! I can still keep dreaming. I have to work on the contentment part when the dream can't come true right away, but I can still dream.
As Christmas nears, I become more of a dreamer. Dreaming about the day when we will have our own home with little ones running around the house with shrieks of joy as Christmas approaches! Ahhh, can't wait!
I have had this idea for a while and due to a lovely winter cold, I have had a few days off from work to do things for FUN (that never happens!) So, I finally did it. I made a dream board. As a frugal wife and career woman with hopes to be a stay at home mom one day, some of these dreams may be a little far fetched (like the 4 story house with a boat) but I can dream, can't I??
It gets hard living on a budget. It gets hard being patient for things you have been working so hard for. It gets hard working day in and day out only to see the check get whisked away to Sallie Mae. This little board makes all of that a little easier!
My dream of being a mommy some day!! Look at all of those sweet babies!!
My dream of my own home some day! HAS to have a front porch!
My dream of traveling!! Australia, Hawaii, and Alaska are on the must-see list right now!!
So there you have it- my dream board. I love looking at this as I sit and coupon knowing that someday all of this frugal living will be worth it!
Okay, maybe not the boat...and horse...and barn...but I am going to dream it anyway!
Dreams never hurt anyone,all the love in waiting is so worth the journeys
