Never a Dull Moment
Around the time when my son, Ike, tends to leave school, I got a phone call from his teacher. She told me that he injured himself in school and still is in pain, so I should be aware and take a look at it when he gets home. My mom is a physical therapist, and, […]
A Last Minute Trip to Belgium
I know, I know… I said I was going to Cyprus in February, got a Black Friday deal…. but while I was looking at the website a few days ago, Sunday, I saw super cheap tickets, also 25 dollars round trip, to Brussels, Belgium… On Sunday. This Sunday, the 3rd of December. Coming back Thursday, […]
My One Black Friday Purchase- I’m Excited!
So of course, Black Friday is today. Some people are in love with it and take advantage of all the sales they could find and stock up on things for the holidays and the rest of the year even. Black Friday, if done properly, could really help you save money for the rest of the […]
Our Frugal Summer Beach Trip (and What We Foraged) and an Update on My Arm
My daughter, Rose, enjoying herself at the beach I’m sorry I didn’t post recently, or update on what’s going on in my life… From this past Monday until yesterday, Sunday, my family and I went on a trip to a beach town, a (long) bus ride away from where we lived. It is an annual […]
Biking, Exploring, and Cooking- My Polish Vacation, Day 2
Sorry I didn’t get this post the day it happened, about 2 week ago. I wrote most of it then but was too tired to post it, and then decided to save writing and posting about my trip until after I came home. If I had to sum up my first official day on Poland […]
Foraging Wild Edibles in Poland- With Lots of Pictures!
Having never stepped foot in Poland before, I assumed that going there, I might recognize one or two different edible plants, and maybe do a drop of foraging. I was not expecting to recognize most of the plants there, with them being things I regularly forage locally, or plants I’m familiar with even if I didn’t […]
My Poland Trip- Day One, Sorta
It is currently 3:15 am Polish time, and I’m tired. I just decided that I want to write a blog post every day of my trip (or nearly) so I’ll keep this short and head straight to bed, so I can be bright eyed and bushy tailed tomorrow for my bike trip through the country […]
Getting Ready for My Trip
Sorry I haven’t been so talkative lately, still trying to figure out certain things about this blog… but in addition to that, I’ve been pretty busy lately doing all sorts of stuff, including teaching various foraging and shopping classes around and more importantly, getting ready for my trip! I leave tomorrow for Lublin, Poland, and […]
Planning an Exciting and Frugal Vacation Abroad
Destination: Lublin. Photo credit Lukaszprzy I recently learned about a site called SkyScanner.com, which allows you to find cheap flights around the world. Unlike many price comparison websites where you need to put in a specific location and specific dates, SkyScanner lets you put in your departure location, and then from there on, it’s flexible. […]
A Frugal Girls Mini Vacation
I just got back from a great trip with my mom and two sisters, Violet and Lizzy. We moved abroad when my little sister Lizzy was only 6, and Violet and I moved out of the house right around then. We realized that we girls never really did trips together, and Violet had the idea […]
