fine living on a shoestring budget
A big thank you to Wayfair for sponsoring this post. I genuinely love Wayfair and shop there even when posts aren’t sponsored! Organizing a closet on a budget is no joke. Have you seen the cheapest closet organizers? Even the crappy ones that you have to put together yourself are expensive. Since our household has…
When we clear the clutter away from our home, we have more time to spend doing things that we truly enjoy. Find out how why I’m setting a goals to spend 20 minutes a day towards a clutter-free home. A couple of weeks ago I attended a MOPs (Moms of Preschoolers) meeting where the topic…
Back in college I didn’t understand the point of life hacks. I certainly didn’t understand the need for kitchen hacks. While life seemed stressful with school, work and a social life, it was never stressful enough to need hacks. Ten years and two kids later, even my hacks need hacks. My brain is constantly fried. I’m not sure…
I’m going to try out a new series and post my Favorite Frugal Finds at least every other month. Every now and then I find some really awesome products that I love and I never get around to posting about them because I don’t want to come off like I’m giving you a sales pitch. I’m…
A few months ago I wrote about my love for my Misto. It wasn’t a sponsored post, I genuinely wanted to share how it has saved me money so you could benefit too. I’d held off buying a Misto for ages because they are a little pricey. I’ve found that the cheapest ones are at Home Goods and…
I know you are eager to start your spring cleaning, but put that aside for this week and clean up your finances first. Even if you don’t think your finances are in a mess, take a look anyway. It’s always a good idea to look through them at least once a year and this is…
Even though it isn’t spring yet, I’m dying to get a head start on my spring cleaning. Each year I try harder and harder to go eco friendly and do green spring cleaning. Over the years I’ve come to realize and accept that some areas need bleach. Other than the occasional bleach usage, my cleaning routine…
It is almost impossible not to go overboard with spending around the holidays. There are so many things that we feel like we need to buy just because it’s Christmas. Lately I’ve tried to spend less on décor, baking ingredients, and party supplies in order to spend more on gifts for the ones I love. So often…
Not too long ago, I blogged about using essential oils to clean my toilets. The initial cleaning was amazing. My toilets were sparkling clean with absolutely no chemicals. Sure, it took some scrubbing, but I figured it was a good trade off to be chemical free. Exactly two months later and I’m OVER it! Our toilets always looked disgusting. …
You all know about my obsession with essential oils. The direct sales series has almost convinced me that I need to sell doTerra oils fulltime. I certainly spend a lot of money on their oils!
