Christmas Traditions Don’t Have to be Filled with Stuff (Revisited)

Christmas traditions absolutely do not have to be filled with stuff to be magical. They don’t even have to be about stuff at all. In the five years since I originally published this post, my feelings on the matter haven’t changed. We still don’t do Santa. We still limit the kiddo’s presents to one “bigger”…

Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays: Week 59 Roundup

Welcome to another week of the Women’s Personal Finance Wednesdays roundup. I started this series after months of debate because I wasn’t certain I wanted to up the ante and commit to publishing three posts a week. However, now that I’ve started sharing these posts, I’m so glad I started. There are so many fabulous…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Holiday Edition)

Amazing that this is somehow the last of my Frugal Five posts of the year already. Even more incredible is that I've been writing them consistently since October 2017. Something that began initially as "filler" posts has turned into something I love to write. My Monday posts tend to be more broad and personal finance…

No Santa: The Christmas Tradition We Don’t Celebrate

December babies tend to either love the holidays or hate them. Growing up, birthdays tend to blend into Christmas celebrations; presents are often combined, birthday parties are moved or sparsely attended thanks to the obligations of the invitees. And yet, I have always loved the Christmas season as well as my birthday, even though there…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2018 – Week 20)

We've had some weather in the 80s this past week and it feels like we skipped straight from winter into full summer. I went for a run Monday afternoon and I could tell that my body wasn't used to the temperature because it was slow going. I had a bit more time to work out…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2018 – Week 14)

After a pretend spring where we had a few lovely sunny days in the 60s (and one amazing one that hit 70), we're back into the rain and gloom for the foreseeable future. I'm usually pretty okay with the weather we get in the northwest, as it's generally not ever too hot or too cold…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Toddler Birthday Edition)

My son turned THREE this week, and since we are - okay I am - big on birthdays, we had multiple celebrations for him over the course of the birthday week. This is such a fun age and I’m loving everything we get to do with him. 1. We had my in laws over for…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Holiday Edition)

Merry Christmas to me! I finally finished up the last of my handmade Christmas gifts last night (though I still have yet to wrap them). I love making sure the gifts we do give at Christmas are heartfelt and mostly homemade or experience gifts, but they sure take a lot more time and energy than…

Christmas Traditions Don’t Have To Be Filled With Stuff 

Christmas is less than a week away, and I don’t have a single large gift for my toddler. Instead of lots of gifts under the tree, we have three stockings, one for each of us, and that’s where the presents stop. When we were first married, my husband and I bought into the idea that…

8 Zero Waste Alternatives That Will Save You Money 

Zero waste is one of those things that is pretty trendy these days. There seems to me this idea that either you have to fit all of your trash for the year in a little mason jar or you aren't a "serious" zero waster. I absolutely applaud the people who are able to tackle Plastic…
