Frugal Accomplishments This Week
Hi there! How was your week? We had a decently frugal week, despite having certain occasions that would have been pretty expensive, but even so, we managed to keep the costs down. As for the things that are not day specific… Rose is still fully nursing, fully cloth diapered, and Anneliese is still partially diapered, […]
3 Thought Provoking Education Videos
I am beyond exhausted, had a long day, and had a post planned… But I won’t get around to posting it today, it seemed. So instead, here’s three videos I really enjoyed, having to do with education, and trying to change the state of education today. This first video is by a homeschooled teenager, and […]
Rice with Lentils, Butternut Squash, and Craisins Recipe- Vegan and Refined Sugar Free
As I was planning to cook today, I couldn’t figure out what I wanted to make for supper.

Homemade Ginger Jello Recipe- Refined Sugar Free- and Homemade Gingerade Recipe
This morning, unfortunately, a family member was throwing up.

Homemade Mustardy Potato Salad- Mayonnaise Free and Vegan
Yesterday, we had a potluck picnic in the park with other families in the neighborhood. One of the (many) things I brought along was this potato salad, which was a hit the last time I was at a picnic (with my family), so I decided to make it again. While I can make potato salad […]
