My Amazing Free Haul from the Clothes and Houseware Share
Children grow so fast! It seems like just yesterday that I came home with so many new clothes for my kids, and yet, my kids keep growing out of them and telling me “Mommy, I need new clothes”. Do that times four and you have quite a pricey proposition. For that reason, I’m so glad […]
Our Fun and Frugal Family Trip Today
Pic heavy post ahead! In my country, today was a national holiday, which meant that everyone was off of school and I was off of work.

My Visit to the Book Stop for Free Books

Visiting London on a Shoestring Budget
No, I’m not heading to London. (Yet, though this post really makes me want to go.) However, my best friend, Michelle, recently was in London, and she amazed me not only by how many things she saw in her short amount of time there, but also little she spent doing so. As she knows how […]
Excited About All These Free Things
Lately I’ve been working regularly as a household cleaner part time, and then I’m doing one off organizing jobs for different families as well.
