“The Goods Steps” are a step-by-step plan to manage the process of getting the goods you need to set up housekeeping.
Why?
So when family and friends ask you what you need you won’t say, “Uhhh . . . .”
So when you go to register for gifts you won’t be struck with indecision because you don’t have a clue what you need or want. Or worse, you’ll just randomly select things you like without a plan!
So you won’t end up with duplicates of things you don’t need duplicates of, or waste money on things you don’t really need.
So you won’t miss anything really important.
And because you want to Set Up Housekeeping in an organized way!
Here are the steps, and links (as they become available) to each post for each step.
