Friday’s Frugal Five (COVID-19 Week 134)

After putting our pup down on Friday, we escaped for the weekend. I started looking at options once I knew we were saying goodbye, because I knew it would be better for all of us if we weren't looking under the kitchen table for a dog that was long longer there. Everything is expensive right…

Friday’s Frugal Five (Good Dog Tribute)

Today, Friday, we said goodbye to our beloved dog, Sasha. (I'm writing this beforehand but will publish after. I don't think I'd be able to write this...after. I think then I'll be stepping away from the internet for a few days.) This week has been brutally hard. Saying goodbye to pets is always agonizing, but…

Monthly Financial Update: July 2019

Let's just say that this has been an expensive summer. Between vet bills, backyard fence replacement, and spending for future vacations, we have spent significantly more money than is average for us. That said, for July in specific, we knew it was going to be expensive because of our dog's surgery, so we spent accordingly…

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 13)

So, one of our very favorite neighbor couples is moving out of state come next month. They are having their first child and are moving to be closer to family, so I completely understand why they are making that choice, but we are seriously going to miss them around here. Remember when I wrote about…

Friday Frugal Five (And An Update On Our Dog)

I've come to really appreciate writing these Friday posts because it helps me to be mindful of what we have gotten done every week. Most of my goals are bigger ones, so there isn't a ton to update week to week, but there is always something to celebrate and talk about. The items I list…

Friday Frugal Five (The End Of No Spend November)

Hello, December! Yesterday marked the end of my “No” Spend November challenge to myself, and I’m really happy with how it went. I’ll write a longer post next week with the details of how it really went and how I feel about it, but for now, know that I’m continuing to keep this up through…

Old timer (dog) troubles

Our dog Ellie just turned seven years old last week. SEVEN. I feel like we just brought her home last year. We adopted her when she was five months old and "only" fifty pounds. We tend to be suckers for the animals that are less likely to be adopted (ferret with adrenal disease, bearded dragon…
