5 Money-Saving Swaps for the Newly Frugal

No comments :

My philosophy on frugality has always been that slow and steady wins the race. This is especially true if you’re in the beginning stages of trying to live a more frugal life. Radically changing your lifestyle overnight may actually backfire in the long run by making you feel deprived, and therefore causing you to quit before you’ve had the chance to reap the benefits of living frugally. Incorporating small, doable changes into your lifestyle is a simple and non-scary way to ease yourself into the frugal waters. These five frugal swaps help you do just that.

Plant A Container Herb Garden

No comments :
Growing your own herbs is a great way to save money at the grocery store.  I have a vegetable garden but I always have a planter of my most used cooking herbs on my deck for convenience (it’s right outside of my kitchen).  Growing herbs in containers is a great idea if you don’t have room for a garden – you can grow them on your deck (like me), a patio or a balcony.

You could plant each herb in a separate pot but why not plant them in a one pot container herb garden.  Here are 6 tips to help you get started with planting your very own container garden!

19 Easy Ways Moms Can Make Money From Home - NOW!

No comments :
Being a sahm is one of the best jobs in the world! I love that I get to be there for all my kid’s firsts and am also there to help my husband throughout the day. I always dreamed of surprising my kids with a plate of cookies, and now I can!

But one of the toughest things about being a sahm is the lack of spending money. Since we have no outside source of income, holidays, school supplies, new clothes and other items can become stressful thoughts. It helps if we have some income on the side to help out in those specific times. Moms, today I want to introduce you to a way that many moms are making an income from home. Sometimes they do it during naptime or bedtime, or even while waiting at the doctor’s or dentist’s office. It doesn’t take added supplies or travel expenses; it just takes you sharing your thoughts and opinions.

How To Create A Successful Monthly Budget that Works

No comments :
When my husband and I did pre-marital counseling there was a whole session talking about finances. Our pastor asked all the tough questions, and we jumped straight into the nitty-gritty, answering his questions with all the honesty we could muster.

Since money is one of the top sources of marital discord, it was incredibly important to us to get started on the right path.

Do More Of What Makes You Happy

No comments :
I'm trying to prepare for a little summer vacation by working for two behind the scenes here, and that's why the blog posts are kind of few and far apart at the moment. I'm also preparing for the Blog'nhagen blog meet-up in Copenhagen next week, by trying to read up on the city and deciding which places I'm going to visit on my free days. Me and Annaleena are going to hang out in Copenhagen from Monday to Wednesday night, so if anyone has some city tips, feel free to share them in the comment section!
