My Amazing Haul From the Clothes and Houseware Share
I’ve written before about the Clothes and Houseware Share, that is like a cross between a clothes/book swap and a second hand store. It’s located in someone’s storage unit attached to her home, and people drop off whatever they no longer want, but still in good condition. This is clothes, household goods, books, etc… and […]

Our Super Frugal Beach Camping Trip, The Last Two Days
A few hours ago, we got home from our family’s longest camping trip ever, five days and four nights camping on the beach. To get there entailed taking one bus, then three trains, then another bus, plus a bit of walking… but it was well worth it. The kids and I had a wonderful time, […]
Books, Books, and More Books!
I’ve written before about the book stop in the city nearest to my house, the old bus stop that was turned into a library where you take what you want and leave what you want, no limits, no rules. While its really amazing, because I am an avid reader, and have no good English public […]
