A Fun and Frugal Girls Trip
I was invited to a get together with a bunch of other women a few hour drive from where I live. I knew I’d be driving there, and when the organizers asked if anyone was willing to give people lifts, I offered to do so, and ended up driving 5 other women up with me. […]
Brain Breaks That Don’t Cost a Dime: The Secret to Saner Afternoons
Some people are very anti games, games you play on the phone or computer. But these games get a bad rap. Did you know that they literally use tetris to help prevent PTSD developing after trauma? They can also help with ADHD; I have an easier time focusing on certain things when playing an easy […]
Laptop Water Damage? My DIY Fix That Brought It Back to Life
I was sitting in the office of my car mechanic, Jerry, the other day. (I know, again. More on that in another post.) While I was waiting for him to take care of my car, I took out my computer to begin to work. (When better than when you have a few hours to kill […]
A Practically Free Car Fix
My car has been giving me lots of problems lately. I’ll get into it more in another post, but I’m at the stage where I don’t really feel like spending money on car repairs. It feels like throwing good money after bad. But I have my annual car test coming up, and one of the […]

Gambling can wreck you financially if you do it regularly or get addicted. But sometimes if you just want a little bit of fun you can gamble responsibly if you set a small budget and view it as blow money; don’t expect any money back and just view it as a game with no stakes. […]
Beach Must-Haves for Summer Family Adventures
My family spends lots of time at the beach. We go multiple times every summer, and until we had a car, our annual camping trip was on a public transportation accessible beach. There is just something so magical about the waves, and everything is yummier at the beach, even if it sometimes means getting a […]
Our Frugal Trip To Georgia, Day One: Vani Sulfur Hot Springs and Batumi
Hello there from Georgia! As I wrote in my post yesterday, today we left on a 6:45 am flight (meaning we woke up at 3:30 after only getting to sleep at midnight after a late arrival to Cyprus) from Larnaca to Kutaisi, Georgia. It was a 2 hour flight and, fortunately, I managed to sleep […]
