Frugal Ways to Find Unique Games for Your Kids
“Mommy, I’m bored!” is probably a constant refrain in most homes that have kids. Especially if you try to limit the amount of screen time your children have, it’s hard to come up with ideas of ways for the children to be entertained, and games can get pricey. Here’s some good ideas sent to me […]
Coloring With My Kids
I’ve been looking for ideas of things to do with my kids that are low mess, don’t involve tech, are frugal, and won’t be too much work for me. Something to do with the kids in our time together, bonding activities, and I thought about coloring. Mandalas specifically, because they’re very calming and relaxing and […]
Recent Frugal Accomplishments While Super Busy
My life has taken a drastic turn; if you saw my since deleted post, it’s because of that, but I was asked to take it down. Lets just say that things have changed and I’ve now begun to work out of the house more than I was in the past; some days I am working […]
Discovering a Clothes and Houseware Share and Getting Amazing Things For Free!
My son requested that I buy him a certain type of jeans, and today I posted in some local groups asking where I could find what he was looking for without breaking the bank, and not only did I get an answer to my query, I discovered a hidden (to me anyhow) treasure! A friend […]
Exciting Blog News- Free Foraging Video!
For many years, I’ve known that I should make a newsletter here on my blog, so that I can be in touch with people and let them know what’s happening, but I really had no idea how to do it. On top of that, I wanted to have a give away to people to incentivize […]

Going Beach Camping Super Frugally!
It’s been years since the one and only time we’ve gone camping as a family and my kids have been begging to go. Well, today we finally did it. We were visiting a beach town as we do every year and decided to take a detour and go camping at a nearby beach camp ground […]
A Free Homemade Rope Dog Toy Upcycled From Old T-Shirts
When I was a kid, my family would regularly go to our local pool in the summer. After swimming, we’d head over to the nearby park where there’d be free crafts available to do. There I learned to make many different things, but what stuck with me the most were the lanyard key chains we […]
Replacing My Broken Suitcase Wheel With a New Homemade Wheel
Last year when I decided to start traveling frugally on my own, I purchased a small suitcase that fit the dimensions allowed as carry on for most budget airlines. I tried to spend as little as possible on my suitcase, but even so it wasn’t so cheap. Unfortunately, though, I guess it was too cheap […]
Foraged Purslane and Summer Fruit Salad Recipe — Easy, Vegan, and Paleo
So many people have asked me how I possibly teach foraging classes in the summer; what is there even to forage when it is so hot and dry? (Locally, it doesn’t rain at all in the summer season, other than the occasional fluke.) But there is definitely what to forage in the summer, and in […]
