Upping the Ante- a New Challenge
Every once in a while, I like to up the ante a little bit and take on a little challenge, to push myself to the limits to see just what I’m able to do, if push came to shove. I’ve heard of people doing a “no spend month” challenge, and while that’s a little impossible […]
Do You Puke Your Guts Out When Pregnant?
You might remember me mentioning in a few blog posts about my sister, Violet, having a very rough pregnancy, being hospitalized a few times even, due to having incredibly bad Hyperemesis Gravidarum (HG), extreme nausea of pregnancy. I didn’t have the easiest pregnancies in terms of nausea, etc… and I was puking occasionally throughout the […]

How to Use a Smartphone To Save Money
I think most people, no matter how frugal they are, have things that they’re willing to spend money on, here and there, the things that are important to them so they have meaningfulness and happiness in their lives and don’t feel deprived. For some people, its cleaning help, for some vacations, and for some its […]

Raw Vegan Chocolate Balls- Gluten Free, Sugar Free
A few months ago I went to my first homeschooling get together (and have since been to another terrific one as well, this one hosted by a traditional foodie!) and met some really sweet people, concerned about health. But, although there was food provided in pot luck style, and though the dishes were all made with […]
Homemade Stevia Extract Recipe
I try to make our home be as healthy as possible, and I try to eat and feed my kids as healthily as possible, but I’ll be honest, we do cheat sometimes and eat things less than ideal. The one absolute no no in our home, that we won’t compromise on, no ifs, ands, or […]
The Move That Almost Was, But Wasn’t
The past few weeks have been a little stressful for me. My current lease is up July 1st, and my landlord wanted us to let him know already (by next week) if we were planning on staying in the apartment or moving to another place, and if not, he was going to advertise that the […]

My Thrift Shop Haul
My baby outgrew her 0-3 month clothing, but I wasn’t able to really move her to the next size up in clothing, because I didn’t have any, other than a few outfits a friend got me as a baby gift. A friend had passed on a few outfits to me as loaners, but even so, […]
