Friday’s Frugal Five (Madam Vice President Edition)

We now have a female Vice President in the United States. A woman of color - a Black and Indian woman - holds the second highest office in the land. (We also have a new president, and he's pretty cool too). Wednesday was such a powerful and momentous day, and I felt like I was…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Another Week)

It's been another week since I wrote about my thoughts after the events of January 6th when a deadly breach of the US Capitol building occurred, and days since President Trump was impeached for the second time - a first for a United States President. The Senate is currently not planning to reconvene until after…

Friday’s Frugal Five: Anything but Normal

Today is Friday, but it is not a typical Friday, so I'm not going to treat it as such. Two days ago, a pro-Trump mob stormed the US Capitol and flew the Confederate Flag inside the building - something that never even happened during the Civil War. If I have to explain to you why…

Friday’s Frugal Five (5 Good Things from 2020)

While I've lamented quite a bit on the blog this year about how hard 2020 has been, I've decided to close out the year with a positive recap instead. While the good doesn't outweigh the bad by any stretch, I'm very grateful for the good that did exist this year. I've kept a log each…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID Birthday Edition)

I turned 33 on Sunday on a very different weekend than the one I celebrated the year before. Last year, we went up to Bellingham and rented a big house and packed it full of friends, where we spent the weekend eating and drinking and celebrating together. This year was a much smaller, quieter weekend,…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 41)

We've hit the highest daily deaths nationwide this week since the peak in April that was concentrated in New York City. Now, COVID-19 is pretty much everywhere. We in Washington State also had our highest death count this week, even though our numbers are still better than most of the country. Better, but still much,…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 40)

Monday was our first day back to work/homeschool after our five day break for the Thanksgiving holiday. Since the husband and I both have a weekday off in addition to the weekends, we had Wednesday off in trade of our normal days off, which were holiday days. Something I hadn't considered about 4 day weeks…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID Thanksgiving Edition)

Thanksgiving in the time of COIVD was definitely a different one. We spent the day with just the four of us in our household as positive cases skyrocket; we couldn't gather in good conscience right now. It wasn't our first Thanksgiving away from family thanks to the time my husband spent enlisted in the Marine…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 38)

Well, with cases climbing in a big way again, we're back to holing up at home. Not that we really did a whole lot through the summer, but we did eat outside at restaurants a couple times, had a small " bubble" with another household or two, and our families helped with childcare (masked, distanced).…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Election Days Edition)

I had planned to skip today’s post like I had Monday and Wednesday this week due to the election, but like writing through Covid, I decided that I wanted to put down my thoughts while I’m actually living it right now. Someday, I may want to go back and read these words and remember (HA)…
