Making Do With What You Have
Creative thinking and being willing to compromise goes a long way when your goal is to either save money, be more earth friendly, or declutter. I’m not a big spender by any means and very rarely am I overtaken by a case of the “wants”. So when I actually do desire something that would make […]
Once Upon a Garden
Once upon a time I lived in a house with a decently sized yard. Nothing spectacularly huge, but it was enough to be able to grow lots of fruits and veggies, have a swing set, and still have plenty of grassy area to enjoy. It was a great place to grow up, but I never […]

Homemade Breadcrumbs- Extreme Frugality Edition
Once upon a time, I bought ready made breadcrumbs. Their price wasn’t so bad, so I never thought twice about making that purchase. Then one day I learned just how simple it was to make your own homemade bread crumbs, and from then on, I never bought them again. The method of making homemade breadcrumbs […]
