Friday’s Frugal Five (Labor Day Weekend Edition)

Last weekend was Labor Day, and a long weekend where we actually stayed local the full three days. After our experience with the ferry wait over Memorial Day weekend, we decided it was worth avoiding the travel crowds and just staying near home instead. Clearly, this made our weekend cheaper than it would have otherwise…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 34)

Sunday morning the three of us headed down off our hill to another local park. We made the decision to make a half a day out of the trip, so we had breakfast at a local coffee shop first and then headed down the trails. We spotted a bunch of wildlife, including a Kingfisher, a…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 33)

I spent Sunday morning blogging in a coffee shop on the computer for the first time ever. I usually write this blog in snippets on my phone when I have a few minutes (like walking to work on the days I drop the kiddo at preschool), so spending a couple hours by myself with headphones…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 32)

We ended up attending three birthday parties last weekend: two on Saturday and one on Sunday. The second one on Saturday was for one of our neighbors, so it just meant that we wandered down the street and hung out at their house like we usually do, just with a bunch more people. The kiddo…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 31)

Until a few months ago, I had no idea that Jetty Island existed. As it turns out, it is a small, two mile long man-made island just off of the city of Everett, which is about a half hour north of us (when there's no traffic). The city operates a small foot passenger ferry from…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 29)

While my neighborhood gets together on a small scale quite regularly, we do a larger block party just once or twice a year. In previous years, another neighbor has hosted in front of their house, but she ended up being out of town this time so we hosted instead. We live at the end of…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 28)

I picked my first tomatoes from the garden this week! As much as I love berries, garlic, herbs, and the other earlier ripening plants, there's nothing that says summer like that first garden tomato. The cooler summer weather thus far has meant that the tomatoes are a bit behind, but I am so ready for…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 27)

Last weekend felt loooong since the 4th of July fell on Thursday this year and we ended up with a four day weekend. We usually take advantage of extra days off to go somewhere, but we stayed local this time instead, and it was great. After our ferry experience on Memorial Day, we really felt…

Friday’s Frugal Five (2019 – Week 26)

We didn't have any real plans last weekend, so we took a laid back, slow couple of days. All three of us usually prefer to be off doing things every weekend day, but occasionally it's nice to just stay close to home and quiet. We say we mean to have more weekends like that, but…

Quarterly Goals Check In: June 2019

Apparently we are halfway through the year already, so it's time for another quarterly goal check in already. I only set one main goal last year (and promptly forgot about the others I had set previously). This year, I decided to be intentional with my goals like I have with the rest of mine life.…
