I noticed that I tend to buy the experience, instead of actually experiencing it. For instance, I was enamored with these super cute picnic items at Target and was about to pick up the lot of it. However, I had an epiphany - how many times have I enjoyed a picnic this summer? And do I already have these items? I would be lucky if I could go to more than one picnic per summer, and I already have two coolers at home (though not as cute). I realized that I really just need to actually plan a picnic, and not necessarily buy more items for it. It's all about the planning these days, because summer weekends can easily slip by before you realize!
