September 7, 2011

I got the following email from Connie in response to my post asking you what you wanted me to write about: It feels like many of the decisions you have made came about as a result of both your values and preparing yourselves and your home for children. How might your decisions have changed if [...]

Awesome Veggie Burgers And A Call For Questions

August 19, 2011

I’m thrilled to announce that I have found the perfect veggie burger!  I’ve probably tried about 20 different recipes over the years (plus several kinds of packaged veggie burgers, which are way too expensive to have on a regular basis).  Earlier this week, I wrote about the excellent burger buns that I made, and how [...]

Raising Happy Children In A Hyper-Competitive World (and some good links!)

May 12, 2011

Happy Thursday!  I feel like sharing some great links with you all today.  First of all, my current favorite workout site.  I love the fact that everything on Bodyrock TV can be done at home with very little equipment, and pretty much all of the workouts are 30 minutes or less.  But they’re intense, and [...]

We finished transforming our backyard shed into an office today!  And yes, pictures will be coming soon.  We still have to paint the exterior and put a porch on it (because of course you can’t have a backyard shed/office without a cute little porch!) but the inside is finished.  One giant project that can now [...]

Container Gardening

February 22, 2011

It’s nearly the end of February, which means we’re starting to think about gardens around here.  I’m sure we still have quite a bit of cold and snow ahead of us, but it’s been warm and sunny lately, which has me thinking of spring.  With a new baby due to arrive in early April, we’re [...]

Choices

February 1, 2011

This article on Minimalist Mom yesterday was particularly interesting, and got even more so in the comments section.  Rachel’s life is quite similar to my own – she’s a stay at home mom who also works part time from home, and has a husband who is an entrepreneur.  She manages the bulk of the household [...]

Neighbors Can Be Frugal Together

January 26, 2011

The following is a guest post from Kristen Cavaliere.  Not only does it fit in well with the concept of frugality, but it also works perfectly for people who are trying to simplify their lives, own fewer possessions, and build strong bonds within their communities.  Hopefully you’ll find some good ideas here, and be inspired [...]

On Not Being Busy

January 12, 2011

For as long as I can remember, I have thrived on being busy.  In the four years I was in college, I completed something like 170 credits (120 was needed for a degree), and also worked between 15 and 35 hours a week for the final three years of college.  After my time in the [...]

Why I Don’t Make New Year’s Resolutions

January 3, 2011

Happy 2011!  I hope you all had a nice, relaxing holiday season.  Right now, we’re really enjoying the fact that our holiday decorations were limited to a little Christmas bear hanging on our wall clock, an evergreen bough on top of our kitchen cabinets, and a homemade reindeer ornament that our son’s cousin made for [...]
