Woodburning skills lead to frugal Christmas gift!
My husband has been a casual woodburner crafter ever since we met. He’s not a master artisan, but he has made some really great plaques and gifts for friends and family over the years.
I’ve mentioned in a previous post how craft stores can be great resources for gifts. I [...] Continue Reading…

Using Shutterfly for some frugal holiday shopping
We’re definitely taking it easy on the holiday gifts this year. Our goal is to celebrate Christmas for a total of $250 out-of-pocket (tree, dinner, postage for gifts, everything) - we did buy some train stuff for the kid earlier this year, but we’re not going to count that.

Seriously, I think I’m really back now
I don’t know if it is the change in the weather, or if I just have bad luck, but last week was tough to get through! I was just so tired, and managed to do the bare minimum to get by. That’s not really like me…

Sorry for the lack of posts!
I should be back to a regular schedule in another couple of days. I’m still working 35 hours a week, taking care of the kid during the day, and I’ve been feeling a little under the weather. But I’m starting to feel a little better now, and am pretty [...] Continue Reading…

Keeping our heads up in today’s economy
Everything seems to be in the crapper. With election politics heating up (and not necessarily in a good way), an economic bailout that I am pretty sure no one has a real clue about, and the American dream becoming less achievable for many, things seem to be “not so [...] Continue Reading…

Are you registered to vote?
***Note: Now that the election is over, the voteforchange.com site is no longer available, so I removed the links.***
Even though I voted in the primaries, I am always nervous about whether I am registered to vote or not. I received an e-mail today from a friend, who sent me [...] Continue Reading…

Download a free copy of Suze Orman’s Will and Trust Kit
I was watching some Suze Orman episodes from the DVR last night. As you may know from a previous post, my opinion on Ms. Orman is mixed. However, I think that she is trying to make others more financially aware, and I still tend to pick up a thing [...] Continue Reading…

The irony of our wonderful government
It’s not very often that I burst out laughing when we get the mail. I’m usually annoyed at the amount of junk mail, or ticked off at the unexpected bill (ie. is it time to pay the garbage bill again?).
