fine living on a shoestring budget
Green living is so important to me.
I firmly believe that living green can help you save green. It was through my weekly Food Waste Friday posts that I became incredibly passionate about food waste and composting.
That passion turned into a business. I now own and operate a compost education website called Naples Compost. We have three missions: To educate people about compost, to provide high quality products for our customers to purchase, and to pick up and process compost for our customers who don't want to compost on their own.
Composting doesn’t have to mean your house has to look like a dirty hippie lives there. Gone are the days of throwing your food scraps in an old milk jug. These days, it’s possible to have stylish countertop composting that can match any kitchen’s color scheme. Check out my tips to make countertop compost work…
I can’t tell you the last time I wrote a dedicated Food Waste Friday post. It feels like it’s been at least a year, maybe even longer. While I loved writing my Food Waste Friday posts, they never performed well since the posts weren’t “evergreen” posts that people could search. Thank you Google for making bloggers second guess the…
What a week it’s been. I’m exhausted just thinking of everything we’ve done in the last week. I don’t even know where to start, but I know I have to start somewhere. I’ll start with Aldi (nope, not a sponsored post, I’m just in love). Y’all, I’m so excited about the new Aldi in Naples. I finally…
It’s been a fun week over here, and I am so sad that Halloween is over. We had lots of Halloween parties (3 total), went trick or treating, bought some Halloween sale items (check out my budget holiday decor tips here), and even started Christmas shopping! I bought a few items on Amazon with gift…

Today I’m sharing with you an easy healthy habit that…
I know I’m not alone when I say that pumpkin makes everything better, even chili! Check out this super easy, and somewhat healthy, recipe for pumpkin chili. My weeks keep getting better and better. Not just in terms of finances, but in general. I think it’s because of fall. I know it’s not officially fall…
It’s been a bit of a crazy week here so I’ve been craving comfort food. My dad has been in the hospital, my 12 year old little brother has been a typical moody middle schooler who hates homework, and my two boys have been sick. I feel like I’m at the max for what I can…
Well guys, I have to be honest for this week in review post: it’s been a hell of a week. My website has had a ton of issues and I’ve been trying so hard to fix it. Be patient with me while I work on it over the next few weeks. I’ve been so stressed…
I know this is cliché, but time is flying by way too fast. Is this something that all grown ups say, or is it just parents? I can’t tell if adulthood is making time fly or if my children make me feel this way. Regardless, I feel like time is flying by way too fast. My…
Time for another edition of Food Waste Friday. This is going to be the last week of a fully dedicated Food Waste Friday post. I’ve decided to combine my weekly spending and food waste posts into one big post. On Wednesday I asked my readers what they thought about my What I Spent Wednesday posts….
