Honey Mustard Roasted Fennel and Cabbage Wedges- Paleo, Vegan Options
I sometimes feel funny posting recipes like this because they’re so simple, however we had guests last night for dinner and I served this, and it was a hit, and that reminded me that dishes don’t have to be fancy or full of expensive ingredients to be delicious. In fact, sometimes the simplest ones are […]
Making My Own Homemade Fancy Tablecloth For Cheap
I have this thing about tablecloths. Tables look so much nicer with a good tablecloth… and with a bad tablecloth, not so much. We have a few tablecloths at home already, but most of them got ruined because of spills and such, but even to begin with, they didn’t really add to the home decor, […]
Making Homemade Super Frugal Tab Top Curtains From Imperfect Fabric and Scraps
One of the things I hated most in how my house looked before our super frugal home makeover was our blinds on our window in the living room part of our main room. They were given to us by friends who no longer wanted there, they were a color I hated, and they were half […]
My Super Frugal Home Makeover- The End Result
For the longest time, I wasn’t house proud. My house was functional, and depending on the state of clutter, it was often less than fully functional. The furnishings and decorations were nearly all just based on what we got cheap. To say that it was to my taste would have been as far from the […]
My Latest Super Frugal Shops and Discovering Some New Bargain Stores
It’s actually been almost 2 weeks since I did this grocery shop, but it actually was the last “big” shop I did, and I still have much of this in my house, and since it was such a terrific shop, I had to share what I bought and why. So firstly, I went to the […]
My Eight Year Old Sewed New Pillows, And You Can Too
Lee, super proud of the two pillows he just sewed! Today was a busy, busy, busy day in my house- the Penniless full home makeover on a budget is well underway and today most of the work and transformation was done. As I was sewing things for the house, my 8 year old, Lee, asked […]
So Long and Thanks For All The Wash
Anneliese wearing a prefold cloth diaper, in a bikini twist fold and secured with a Snappi, at a few days old. The end of an era is here. Today, all my cloth diapers and cloth diapering accessories are leaving my house. Those cloth diapers were one of my first things I blogged about on this […]
Saving Money and Learning to Trade
I really know nothing about financial trading, so it’s always nice to learn something new. I hope you enjoy this post by Daniel Bailey and find it as educational and enlightening as I did. One of the most pervasive myths in modern society is that financial trading is only carried out by those with decades […]
Frugal Foraged Spring Rolls Recipe- Vegan and Paleo Options
I love getting food inspiration from my various foraging friends, because, while I sometimes come up with creative ways to use my foraged foods, more often than not, I just repeat the same methods again and again, which gets old. The other day, I saw Leda Meredith post pictures of her sow thistle spring rolls […]
Easy Vegan Reese’s Style Fudge Recipe, Paleo Option
Last night I was trying to think of a delicious dessert to make for my family. The thing is- my house wasn’t so clean, so I didn’t want to make more dishes, I didn’t have so much energy, but I still wanted a relatively healthy dessert, dairy free, gluten free, egg free, and ideally grain […]
