Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 113)

For anyone who noticed, yes, I skipped my regular Frugal Five last week. After returning from our Italy trip, we had one "normal" week home as we readjusted to our jet lag and caught up on normal life. That following Thursday, my husband started to get sick, and by Sunday, the rest of us were.…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 111)

It's been a week now since we returned from Italy, and the grief that gripped me has lessened a bit. As my husband noted, I've never been so heartbroken to return home from a trip before. It was our first big trip (first plane flight) since Covid began, the first time to see our dear…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 106)

You might have noticed (or maybe not), but I skipped posting last week. With everything going on with Russia's invasion of Ukraine, my bandwidth was completely zapped and blogging just wasn't happening. I do still want to keep this "pandemic" (and now war) public journal going, which is what TLRE mostly is at this point.…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 99)

Next week marks week 100 since I began to track these Covid weeks. One hundred. While many of you may be a few weeks behind me since we were the ground zero outbreak for the United States here in Kirkland Washington, your week one hundred is close at hand. Regardless of how much we want…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 98)

It was mid fifties and sunny yesterday (Thursday), which was absolutely lovely. After how cold and snowy the year began, it felt like spring, and we were able to spend much of the day outside. At the same time, things feel pretty dang heavy. It appears that our area has peaked for Omicron, with the…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 88)

The kiddo has a vaccine appointment!! T-4 days (Tuesday). Frustratingly, Washington has had a pretty terrible rollout for the kids’ vaccines and the supply is really low for now. While some other states started giving out shots the day of approval, only a smattering were given out in Washington a day later, and the systems…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 80)

So school is back in session around here, and a week and a half in, almost all the schools have had some level of Covid exposure, including the elementary school the kiddo would attend. While completely unsurprising, I find my stomach sinking every time I hear of another group of kids that have to be…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 78)

This month feels like March 2020 but worse. When last spring things were looking dire, we still had this feeling that we were "all in this together." No matter where you were in the world, life was locked down and everyone was feeling the anxiety and fear over the spreading pandemic. Fast forward a year…

Big Dreams Don’t Have to Wait: Experimenting Where You’re At

Last month, Jessica over at The Fioneers led a workshop for the Women’s Personal Finance Insiders on 5 year planning. Part of what she talked about was experimenting about big dreams you have - taking action in the place you’re at but practicing the big stuff. My head’s been spinning since then. It probably comes…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Heat Wave Edition)

The city of Kirkland where I live hit 111°F on Monday. After topping out at 106°F on Sunday and 102°F on Saturday. We’ve only ever hit triple digits here a few times, and never two days in a row, let alone three. Two thirds of homes in our area don’t have any air conditioning. And…
