Recent Frugal Accomplishments
I used to do this weekly, writing about the frugal accomplishments I had done over the past week. But then life got busy, and life got unfrugal, and I didn’t have much to write… And then I started this up again, a few weeks of frugal activities in one post so I looked more accomplished… […]
Pros and Cons of Universal Life Insurance
In life it is healthiest not to dwell on the woulda, coulda, shouldas… but it is hard not to. One of my biggest regrets financially is that I never got life insurance. We didn’t have money to pay for life insurance in the past, and now that I might actually have money for it, no […]
Details About My First Car — Why and How I Chose it, and How Much It Cost Me
I posted about getting my first car 2 months ago but I didn’t do any follow up posts because I first wanted to get everything right with it and I was afraid to jinx it… And now I’m worried about posting about it because I don’t want people to call me negative things such as […]
My Ridiculously Easy Slightly Nutritious Go-To Meal — Gluten Free Comfort Food
It is kind of ridiculous that I’m posting this, but I’m trying to be honest about where I am in life… But I’ve been having a hard time in so many different areas, either in physical pain or emotional or just thoroughly exhausted, so productivity and energy levels are pretty slim. But even so, I […]

Signs You Should Hire A Professional Cleaning Service

Our Fun Packed Summer on a Budget
When I homeschooled my kids we took advantage of down times, when everyone was in school, in order to go on trips. Going places that are packed on buses that are packed with other people on holiday makes it really stressful to go places, so in general I avoided them once my kids were in […]
My Life with Ehlers Danlos Syndrome
As I was filling out the paperwork for my disability hearing, I had a hard time answering some of the questions. “How long have you had this issue?” and it wanted me to put in a start date. Except how do I even answer that? I’ve only known that I had Ehlers Danlos Syndrome less […]
Applying for Disability
I had a long and exhausting day yesterday. No, it wasn’t a day traipsing around in the hot sun on lots of errands carrying heavy bags. It was a day entirely at home, but no less exhausting.
