My Frugal Greek Vacation — Crete, Day 1, Chania
I am running on fumes, because I got fewer than 4 hours of sleep over the past 24 hours, but I wanted to get this post up already, because I know many people are anxious to hear about my trip. As soon as I finish this, then I’ll go to bed. I had an early […]
Preparations Before Traveling Abroad, a Checklist
I’m on my way to the airport now, and tomorrow early morning I’m on my way to Crete, Greece. My amazing friend Vera, who is visiting her mom there from New Zealand, paid for me to fly there and get this much needed vacation, not to mention hosting me for an entire week. It has […]
Why an Inflatable Hot Tub is Worth the Cost
Locally, going to the swimming pool is quite expensive, and the beach is far from my home. For that reason, now that we finally have a yard, I’ve toyed with the idea of getting a backyard above ground pool for the family to enjoy in the summer. Now that I read this post by a […]
My Recent Scratch and Dent Store Shops
My last trip to the scratch and dent store one ended up amazingly, discovering a great treasure: super frugal gluten free vegan raspberry cookies that my family devoured. I had some free time the other day between errands, so decided to run to the scratch and dent store in the hopes that I’d be able […]
Dogs: The Best Natural Remedy for Anxiety
I love our dog, Snickers. She joined our family almost a year ago, and she has made such a big difference. She’s been so wonderful on so many counts, but I definitely see what a big impact she has on the emotional health on everyone in the family. The biggest part, honestly, is that my […]
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. To make it even better, the government decided that inter city public transportation would all be free. Originally I planned on just taking it easy, maybe doing a bit […]
All About Our Recent Family Trip
I posted before about our planned family trip and now that we’re home, recovered, and back to normal life (or at least as normal as can be when one kid has a broken finger and stitches), I wanted to share how wonderful our trip was. When planning our family trip, my first goal was looking for a […]

A picture of the apartment where we’ll be staying Right now I was supposed to be getting ready and packing my bags for a trip to the airport. A few months ago I booked tickets for a vacation for myself. I was to fly in to Frankfurt Hahn Airport in Germany tomorrow, take a bus […]
Five Day Tours to Take When in Phuket
I adore traveling, and have made myself a bucket list of places I want to visit. Thailand is one of those places; so much about it fascinates me. This write up by a reader on Phuket (pronounced Poo Ket, get your head out of the gutter) makes me want to visit it more then ever! […]
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 […]
