My Frugal Trip To Vienna, Days 2 and 3!
I have been in Vienna already 3 days, and its been a great trip so far. First off, I have to say that this is my first time staying in a hostel, and I’m sad that this is only my first time, because I feel like I missed out on so many fun things I […]
Heading To Vienna Soon!
In just a few more days, I am heading out on my next journey. This time, to Vienna. I was talking to people and they were saying that usually they are aware of my upcoming travel plans, but that I wasn’t talking about this trip of mine at all. I realized then that I didn’t […]
How I’m Gifting This Year For the Holidays and Anneleise’s Birthday
As I mentioned yesterday, I’m always changing up how I do gifting for the holidays with my kids. The one thing that always stays the same is I never do a million presents, I always keep things on a budget. Yes, presents are nice, but no need to go overboard. If giving lots of gifts […]
Day 8, Last Day of our Family Vacation — Our Day in a Resort Town
On Monday we flew back from Bulgaria, to an airport relatively far from my house and quite near a resort town. I had never been to this resort town before, other than once in the middle of the night on the way to the airport on my way to Belgium. It’s a decently long way […]
Feeling Guilty About Sharing
I have to admit, I’ve held off on posting about our family’s skiing day for a few reasons. Number one is that I am still quite tired and I want to do it justice… But secondly, is that I have a lot of guilt. Like majorly. Like that is something I am working on in […]
Chilling Out and Fun in Sofia, Bulgaria, Days 4 and 5
The last two days in Bulgaria were a bit more chilled out. We had an exhausting first few days here, and Rose was a bit under the weather, so we did some more relaxed things around the house. We went grocery shopping, and then cooked together, including these oatmeal cookies. We took lots of walks […]
Snow Fun in Bansko, Bulgaria- Day 3, Part 2
I mentioned the other day about how we traveled 2 hours by car to reach Bansko, the town at the foot of Todorka Peak in the Pirin Mountains, and the skiing we arranged and planned. But after such a long drive, we weren’t going to turn around and go back once we did that, especially […]
Day 2 of Our Family Trip in Bulgaria — Lots and Lots of Fun
When I wrote up about my first day in Bulgaria with my kids, I mentioned how many things went not as planned, and how I learned my lesson about needing to tailor my trip to my kids taste and needs and be extremely, extremely flexible. I must admit that in the past, when I saw […]
Day 1 in Bulgaria with My Family- A Day Full of Lessons
Today was… a day full of lessons. All sorts of lessons. About interesting things and frustrated things, and while I would love to say it was an amazing, tremendous, stupendous day, to be honest, more than anything today I felt frustration. However, out of all that frustration came lessons, and with those lessons hopefully ideas […]
My Frugal Accomplishments This Week
Ok, I challenged myself to share a write up of the frugal things I did that week, every week, even if it’s no amazing or long list. So here it is, even if it seems paltry this week. My frugal accomplishments the last week were the following: I booked frugal travel fare using a refund […]
