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”…

Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 130)

I find that I am still very much attached to this blog, even if these days it's mostly just a diary update of our lives as we continue through the 2020s and everything that entails. There is plenty I would like to write about (unlike when I first started blogging in 2017 and was worried…

The True Cost of Saying Yes (Revisited)

Yesterday, I wrote an outline and the beginnings to a new post to be published today, and I have perhaps another hour left until it would be ready to share. Instead of finishing it up though, I spent my afternoon and evening out in my garden harvesting tomatoes, blueberries, and greens, and tidying up the…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2020 – Week 6)

The kiddo turned FIVE yesterday. He starts t-ball next month and kindergarten this coming fall. Not such a little guy any more, but I'm loving watching his personality grow as he morphs into more of his own person. He's sleeping in his own bed these days (with a ton of stuffies), getting his own snacks…

My 2019 Book List

2019 was my first year tracking the books I read. Ever since I learned to read at just two and a half years old, I rarely stopped. There were a couple of years post college where I read less than normal, but I've since resumed my voracious appetite for written content. That includes blog posts…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 45)

Wednesday was our 10th anniversary. I decided ultimately to write a short blog post about it because I wanted a simple record of the last year like I'd done previously, and I enjoyed going back and looking at the past few years when I'd done the same. We both worked that day, but we managed…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 44)

My sister and brother in law invited us over for high tea at their house on Sunday afternoon. They'd gone to a tea shop in Seattle and had a great time, so they decided to set up something similar at their house. We headed over, along with my husband's parents and his godfather, and we…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 43)

Last Friday was our "would have been" tenth wedding anniversary. My now-husband was active duty in the Marine Corps though, and when he let his command know that we were engaged - and had set a wedding date - they purposefully sent him on a detachment detail to Yuma, Arizona for three months, overlapping with…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 41)

As I recapped on Monday, I spent last weekend at Cents Positive in downtown Seattle. I had a wonderful time, as expected, and would have been happy had it lasted an extra day or two. That said, I so appreciate that the retreat is held over a weekend, as my vacation time is limited and…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 40)

Last Friday morning, the kiddo decided he wanted to have a sleepover with his Grandma and Grandpa (the husband's parents) - and he wanted to have it that night. Apparently they had been talking about the idea for a while, but he woke up that morning ready to go. I asked my mother in law, and…
