A few days before November, I don’t recall what prompted it exactly, but I spoke to my hubby asking him to be on board with a “No Shopping November” challenge. Considering a few recent purchases (but not knowing we’d need a lot of work on our vehicle), he agreed that would be a good idea. …

Sheet Pan Frozen Mixed Veggies
One thing I buy frequently at COSCTO is their mixed frozen veggies. Did you know often frozen veggies have more nutritional value than the ones in your crisper drawer because they have been flash frozen directly from the field rather than sitting in a warehouse or on a shelf in the grocery store for a…
My Letter to the FTC about the COPPA law’s Effect on Youtubers
Dear FTC members, I am both a parent and a content creator/artist on Youtube. I would urge you to rethink the current rules and how vague they are, because the vagueness is very threatening to many channels. Music is especially important to content creators making their content have energy, and the music used should be…
End of Week 3 No-Credit Challenge
Yesterday I found myself pacing in the kitchen and looking in the fridge. Spring salad mix got used up after week one, baby carrots after week two, apples after week three. Just a few avocados and radishes left in the produce bin. Oh yeah, and the inner part of a head of lettuce left. (Iceberg…
Key Lime Pie fix: Gluten-Free, Dairy-Free Snack
I am a member of an online food intolerance and food allergy support group…and more often than not, I am really deeply concerned that those of us with food intolerances are not getting the nutrition nor caloric intake we need to thrive. So here is a dessert that is not only keto-diet friendly and celiac-safe,…
IP Comfort Food: Gluten-Free Homemade Hamburger Helper (Low-FODMAP version)
My hubby can eat gluten, but I don’t react well to it, and our diets have consequently changed quite a bit over my health journey. So when the Hubs says he likes a certain type of food, I really want to figure out how to make it for him since he has had to give…
I did WHAT to Save Money?
Well, I’m half-way into my No-Credit November Challenge, and I must admit I’ve made a few risky fashion decisions lately…Not risky to my finances, but they were financial decisions. I’m determined not to spend money! But what should I do when I CANNOT STAND any more bad hair days as my pixie haircut grows out??…
No Shopping November: But Baby it’s Cold Outside!
I looked through my clothes last week and realized I had ONE everyday sweater shirt to wear…and it was in the laundry pile. Also, it was freezing outside. Bummer. Normally, I’d run to the thrift store and pick a few out, wash them and be good to go. But nope. This is NO SHOPPING NOVEMBER,…
Summary of No Shopping November Challenge, wk 1
Sometimes when inconvenient things like these happen, it can be easier to say “Let’s go to Starbucks and treat ourselves! We’ve been through a lot!” But nope, sticking to the challenge despite the unexpected things.
Two words I’m going to keep repeating this November no matter the challenges that may keep coming: Thankfulness and Intentionality. (And thank YOU for intentionally spending time reading this!)
One Minute Instant Pot No-Fail Noodles
I like cooking and am glad it’s part of my job, but I don’t want to be a slave to my kitchen, and I’m guessing neither do you. That is another reason I love my Instant Pot. It makes my life a lot easier. Especially when it comes to making gluten-free noodles. I don’t like…
