Organo Gold Takes The Legend Of Coffee To Supreme Sophistication And Health
Just this morning, I was talking to my dad about my perpetual exhaustion, and he asked me if I drink coffee. When I told him no, he said that in his opinion, life isn’t worth living without coffee. That’s a common sentiment. I used to hate coffee, then I learned to love it and drank […]
My Husband Fixed Our Washing Machine!
As a mother of four kids, you can imagine our washing machine gets really heavy use. I’m also not so great at keeping up with the laundry, so often when I get down to it, I have a bunch of loads to do in one go. For example now we have about two large laundry […]
Reflections on the Evolution of this Blog and the Pursuit of Money Mindfulness
I’d planned on writing a whole long post in honor of my 8th bloggiversary… January 2 started my 9th year of blogging, which I have to say feels like quite the accomplishment…. But life got in the way and unfortunately this planned post is nearly six months late. Oh well. In honor of my bloggiversary […]
Insider Hacks To Buying A High-Quality, Yet Cheap, Mountain Bike
I grew up bike riding all the time. My sister and I bike rode to the nearest pool for our swimming lessons every day in the summer. We bike rode to parks. My boys currently have bikes that they’re outgrowing, and I probably need to get them larger sizes. Currently, though, my husband and I […]
Restaurant Style Pasta with Three Cheese Sauce Recipe — Easy, Gluten Free, and Delicious
I debated whether or not to post this recipe here on my blog, because, quite frankly, it is not frugal. But… now that I came clean about having mental health issues, I can also explain some other stuff, and now it’ll make sense. I’ve been trying to do a lot of self care for myself, to […]
Breaking The Stigma on Mental Health Counseling
I had planned on writing this post already a few weeks, ago, and then with the recent high profile suicides of Kate Spade and Anthony Bourdain, the topic seemed even more timely than before. I read this piece that said that Kate Spade’s death reminds us that we really need to destigmatize mental health issues, […]
Save Money on Amazon with DealGoGoGo
Are you as much a fan of shopping online as I am? When you’re a busy person, whether because you’re a full time mom taking care of your children, or you work out of the house many hours, or even if its just that you’re a home maker and you’re spending lots of time taking […]
Homemade Cashew Based Hummus Recipe — Paleo, Vegan, and Easy
I’m a big fan of hummus, but as they like to say, it isn’t a fan of me. My body can’t tolerate any legumes, even if they’re soaked, fermented, sprouted, you name it, and the standard hummus is based on chickpeas, one of those legumes that I can’t eat. I’ve mentioned before how much I […]
Foraging Black Nightshade — Solanum Nigrum and How to Identify It
This is a post that is a long time in coming and is one that I’m nervous about writing for a variety of reasons. One of the biggest things about writing this post is that it’s about a plant that for some reason is very controversial. Black nightshade. It has a reputation for being poisonous […]
Creating a Garden Paradise for Your Kids
Years ago we lived in a house with a yard, but we were really hesitant to invest in the yard at all, because we knew we could be moving at any time. We got some portable outside toys, like seesaws and small slides and built chicken coops and rabbit cages, but beyond that didn’t invest […]
