Thankful Post
Not only was this a busy week, and there’s a full weekend ahead, but there’s been some heavy things going on. We aren’t directly involved with all of the difficulties, but even being on the outskirts can be discouraging. So what better time to do a thankful post! I’m thankful that I learned a new…

Cool Bloggers Walking Club – Week 1
Elisabeth (she blogs at The Optimistic Musings of a Pessimist), is hosting The Cool Bloggers Walking Club. I’m joining in, trying to exercise almost every day this month. So far this month I went on 3 walks or walk/runs. I can’t remember for sure, but I think Bruno went with me on all three. He…

Handling It
We say things like, “I can’t handle it.” or, “They just won’t handle the situation.” Sometimes we even say it in reference to something that happened that a person hand no control over. Like, “I wouldn’t be able to handle my spouse dying.” Well, I’m sure if you ask a widow, she probably didn’t think…

September Recap
When September crept up, I thought about how summer was coming to an end, and not really ready for it. Then before I got myself geared up for summer ending, September was already over. I may not feel mentally prepared for fall, but fall doesn’t wait for me to be prepared, it just comes. We…

Watermelon Juice
If only everything esle in the garden grew as prolifically as our watermelons!! My husband planted a yellow-fleshed variety. Thankfully, we love watermelon! Some of it we just cut up and eat, but we’ve also been enjoying watermelon juice. It’s easy to make, we just blend up watermelon, simple syrup, and lime juice! At first…

September Book Stack
Not only did I finish two books this month, but they were both excellent reads! Going to bed with a book instead of a phone has been a great improvement! I now look forward to jumping into my comfy bed and getting into a book! The Way of Eden – Resisting the Darkness By Jonathan…

Frugal Three Plus a Fee
I spent a big chunk of my day yesterday snapping photos of my husband’s work receipts for quick books. A bonus of this is that I also snapped a bunch of them for fetch rewards and that helped bump my points up to 6500, which means enough for a $5 amazon gift card! I have…

Frugal Five – Facebook Sale & Ebay
Tuesday morning started by selling a side table on fb for $50! We’ve used this nice little mid-century style table, but now that we rearranged the room it was in the way. I staged it, trying to help it sell faster, but that resulted in people asking if the flower picture was for sale! I…

Frugal Four – Quarters, Cookies & car
I found not one, but two quarters while out walking the other day!!! Usually I find pennies, but a quarter is like finding 25 pennies, and finding two quarters is like finding 50 pennies! (Yes, that was some pretty good math skills). I wanted to make some cookies (something I rarely do much to the…

Frugal Four – Okra & Coffee
A couple days ago I spent over double what I usually spend at Walmart. The reason is two fold: 1. The boys are going on a weekend camping trip and I bought junk food I don’t normally buy for them. 2. There was some marked down prices that I took advantage of, like ground beef…
