Frugal Accomplishments This Past Week
Ahhhh! I have an insanely crazy busy week ahead of me, including traveling to far away cities two days, and traveling to a nearer city once, etc… and I’m so exhausted already. Trying to find the motivation to get this post up today… was very hard. I finally figured out what it is that was […]
Homemade Orangeade Recipe- Including Refined Sugar Free Option
There are some foods and drinks that have certain seasonal associations with them. Take spinach- you probably picture a crisp spinach salad with mangoes to be a light summer dish. But you know what? Spinach is a cold weather crop… and mangoes a hot weather crop. If you eat seasonally, a spinach and mango salad […]
My Latest Shopping Trips- And Bulk Buys
You know those times when you are just so uninspired to cook anything, because it feels like everything you want to make, you’re missing those ingredients? That’s how my house was a little bit ago. Not that we were short on food by a long shot- we still had a pretty fully stocked pantry, etc… […]

This is the time of the week where I usually try to share an incredibly long and detailed list of various things I did the past week to save money. Blah. List is super short this week. I didn’t have a particularly frugal week… And I did really badly with laundry, rewashing laundry twice, barely […]
Making A Homemade Fancy Chocolate Gift Box

Foraging Plantain- Wild Food and Medicine
There’s one plant that I forage all the time, and it’s one of those plants that, even if you don’t plan on becoming a full time forager, that I suggest you learn. Because it is simply one of the most useful plants out there. And it’s pretty easy to learn how to forage it. Plantain. […]
Frugal Accomplishments This Week and Accountability For My Struggles
I had a long exhausting week, and I suspect this next week will be even longer. Fortunately, filled with good things, but that doesn’t make it any less exhausting. Because of that, I feel my list of frugal accomplishments is shorter than usual… And, because of that, I got super backed up on laundry. I […]
Easy Homemade Pirate Costume
Ike asked me to make him a pirate costume. Gladly. I love making costumes. I could always buy costumes for my kids for dress up and the like, but I have never done that. Because as much as I love experimenting and creating in the kitchen, I also have so much fun coming up with […]
Amazing Deals and Steals That I Got Today
I left my house today with an empty stroller, and came home with one packed to the gills. Since everything that I came home with was frugally obtained, and purchased with thought, I figured I’d share a little about what I got, and why. The reason I went out today was to go to the […]
