The Anti-Car Family (Guest Post By Merry For Money)

When anyone asks me what my dream car would be, my honest answer answer is to not need one. I realize I could get to "not needing one" now if we were willing to move to the center of the city, but my hope is for some day our public transportation system to have gotten…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2018 – Week 1)

Somehow we are already most of the first week into 2018. We tend to pack a lot into every day, so I feel like we’ve done a lot this year already. Every once and a while, I try and convince myself that I need more down time, but then I get antsy and I’m off…

Friday Frugal Five (And An Update On Our Dog)

I've come to really appreciate writing these Friday posts because it helps me to be mindful of what we have gotten done every week. Most of my goals are bigger ones, so there isn't a ton to update week to week, but there is always something to celebrate and talk about. The items I list…

Friday Frugal Five (The End Of No Spend November)

Hello, December! Yesterday marked the end of my “No” Spend November challenge to myself, and I’m really happy with how it went. I’ll write a longer post next week with the details of how it really went and how I feel about it, but for now, know that I’m continuing to keep this up through…

8 Years Of Marriage Adventures

My husband and I celebrated eight years of marriage this week (yes we were total babies at our wedding). We generally don’t give each other gifts and instead would rather spend time and money on experiences. This year is no exception. We spent our anniversary: Eating French toast with local bananas, coconut syrup, and star…

Take The Train: A Fun Frugal Day At The Puyallup Fair

I absolutely love going to fairs, but we haven't gone the past two summers because our son used to have such a hard time in the car and it wasn't worth it for the hour and fifteen to hour and a half or longer in the car to get there. Even 20 or 30 minutes…

Fancy frugal date night

Last Friday, my husband and I went on our first weekend date night in MONTHS and it was awesome. My husband was given two preseason Seahawks football tickets as a work "bonus" from one of the suppliers he does a lot of business with, so we decided we had to take advantage of the free…

Why running the numbers is so important: when my assumptions are completely wrong

Before I got pregnant, I went car-free for my commute a few days a week on average, though looking back, I should have done it a lot more. My office has moved since then, but it was 4.3 miles away at that time. I switched up my commute between walking, running, biking, and the bus,…

Ditch The Commute. Run To Work Instead. 

Before I had my son, I left my car at home as much as possible. My house was a reasonable 4.5 miles away from work, which was part of the reason we bought a starter house in our neighborhood (it's now a little under 6 miles). I regularly biked/bused/walked/ran to and from work (even occasionally in…
