I'm happy to say I have crossed off 2 more items from my 30 by 30 list!
16. Adopt a family for Christmas
Every year we do a couple of shoe boxes full of toys for my school's project and buy for a few Salvation Army angels but this year we went above and beyond. We bought gifts for a family we were introduced to by a mutual friend and after hearing her story, dropped off gifts for both of her children and her. It's tough to be a mom, tough to be a single mom, and tough to feel like you're not enough of a mom. She doesn't know it was us and that's how I hope it stays. I don't want or need anything back from her.

22. Buy brand new furniture.
Granted, our new furniture is from Ikea but it is all brand new furniture, not hand me downs from anyone else! I just have this vision of what I want my living room to look like and I'm getting so close to having that vision realized!
New curtains and rug, and a couple of throw pillows and I'll have my dream living room!
28. Buy an original piece of art and frame it in our house
I was at a craft fair at my school a few weeks back and feel in love with two pieces of art that she had. She had hand painted the images and then made prints. The art pieces were far too large for what I wanted, but the prints were perfect. I picked up inexpensive frames at the Christmas Tree Shop and I'm obsessed with them!
