Blog Party: Day 3

General — By Bridgette on November 14, 2008 at 8:58 am

Welcome to MomDots Blog party, where we want to get to know you and have you go around the blogosphere and “play” the next few weeks. Its so easy to get caught up in our own blogs, that sometimes we need to find a way to interact amongst each other, so if you choose to play and expose your blog and visit others, for that, we thank you.

Anytime you answer a question posed in the blog party, please put the answer on YOUR blog and then sign the linky for that day. You can earn entries into our Blog Party Contest Pull by going to other blogs and leaving comments, visiting VIP bloggers and leaving comments, visiting sponsors, and of course, putting up your answer to the question.

Every time you have completed an entry point, please comment in the master entry list for the entire blog party. Do NOT put your contest entries in individual blog party day questions. This post is only for the link back to your blog where your answer is.

Please link back to each party day post in your new post so party members can move freely from link to link and also include sponsors above your answer.

Sponsors: Day Three Blog Party Question is Brought to you by Appledonia, Hippos Toes and My Bag

VIP BLOGS to visit are Parent Reviewers , Mom Most Traveled, Mommy Zabs, MomStart, HipposToes, Run DMT

DAY THREE QUESTION

Post by: Bridgette

Welcome to Day 3 of the Christmas of Dreams Blog Party! Can you believe that Christmas is only 40 days away?  Every year I plan to get a jump on my Holiday shopping, but it seems like every year Christmas sneaks up on me! Did they move it?  Its still December 25th, right?

This year, more than ever, I am having to put a spending limit on shopping.  Our bills have skyrocketed and with the addition of a second child, our budget is tight.  Last January, I started a Christmas savings account and religiously deposited any extra cash into this account.  I am going to withdraw all of this money and pay for ALL of our Holiday purchases in CASH.  In order to achieve this, I plan to make a list of all of the gifts we must purchase and draw up a budget for each present.  I am hoping this will help us keep Christmas under control!

Have you started your Christmas shopping yet?  Do you budget for the holidays?  Do you always stick to your budget?  Share with us any budgeting tips you may have!

Happy shopping!
