Since I’m intolerant to peanuts and gluten-free, sometimes it can be difficult to find delicious granola bars that don’t cost too much. I like to make these, wrap them in parchment paper to store in my freezer, then grab them to go. They are an especially satisfying pregnancy treat these days, as I am 28…

Rescuing a Lady’s Parlor Chair
Since becoming an aspiring minimalist, I have been much more selective in my lifelong curbside-treasure hunting. Much to my hubby’s relief, my collecting habit has been broken for the most part due to my desire for a less cluttered home… But my rescuing heart is not so cold as to leave a gem like this…
“That’s Too Expensive!” Words I used to say, the Problem with them, and a Better Perspective
I grew up with thriftiness being a huge deal in our family. I still enjoy being thrifty, finding it a fun challenge, as you can tell by my no-spend month videos, but when you feel guilty for responsibly using money you have, that’s not financial freedom, is it?!

The Surprising Outcome of my No Credit Month in 2019
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. …
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…
