For the Love of Blogging
I really love blogging. My little site doesn’t even get much traffic or very many comments, but I still love it. I often like typing a little during the day when ideas pop into my head, but really should try to get my work done before I write. But then I end up like I…

Frugal Five – Freebies
I cut my BB cream open and got 2 more uses out of it. I’m getting garden produce, mostly okra. I tossed some in with other veggies to make oven roasted veggies. And yesterday I had cucumber sandwiches for lunch with a cucumber from the garden. Cucumbers, green zebra tomatoes and purple onion salad. I…

Thankful Post
I have so much to be thankful for! First of all, we had a wonderful time camping with family! While my review of the campgrounds is here, my review of our time together could be summed up with: relaxing, enjoyable, and good catching up. It’s funny how even though we have a family group chat,…

Frugal Five – All About Food
Even though I’ve contemplated looking for a job outside the home (other than ebay reselling and helping my husband’s business), there are advantages to being home. For example, I have time to cook.

June Recap
June has felt like summer in multiple ways! We haven’t been doing schoolwork, it’s been as hot as smoldering lava, and all the summer activities are a buzz. Like all months, there were highlights and lowlights. Lowlights Probably the hardest thing this month was a situation where my daughter was working. It continued and got…

Frugal Four Plus Ebay Flop
I got my hair cut with a new hairdresser. The base price for this lady was $7 cheaper than another lady I’ve used before. Plus she styled it without charging extra. It is still cheaper to get it done at the hair school, but I’ve had mixed results there. She parted my hair on the…

Life Pruning
My main bed of tomatoes morphed into a giant green monster! The different plants were wrapping themselves around each other and it had gotten hard to tell which branch belonged to which plant! It needed pruning. So I went out and pruned a whole bunch. Not just casually pinching off a sucker here and there,…
