Stream of consciousness

The Frugal Girl

2012 me with my niece (who is now 12 years old) Mannn, I love babies. They showed us an area where sometimes nurses are assigned to hold babies who are coming off of drug addictions, and I guess my face must have betrayed me because one of my classmates looked over at me and was like, “Kristen REALLY wants to hold babies.”

Thankful Thursday | only one more before Christmas

The Frugal Girl

I am very interested in possibly being a labor/delivery/postpartum nurse, and also, since I have had four babies, I think that’s gonna make this part of the curriculum easier for me. One of my own babies ? I am SO excited for the women’s health/OB that we get to do next semester.

Meet a Reader | Gretchen from Oregon

The Frugal Girl

One of our baby rabbits Another big part of our lives is adoption. My son with one of our baby goats I remember for many years looking at any recipe that asked for more than one kind of cheese and rejecting it right away. I do a lot of our cooking from scratch which takes a lot of my time! There was no way I could afford that!

The Frugal Girl

Something I’m looking forward to this year Reader Rose suggested that this could be a fun thing to add to a Thankful Thursday post right about now, so here’s one from me… I’m looking forward to my clinical labor and delivery rotation. And I am also looking forward to wrapping up the getting-unmarried process this year.

Do you live in an ingredient household?

The Frugal Girl

Baby sweet peppers? We will make a dinner that includes dried pasta, a sauce based on canned tomatoes, topped with a sprinkle of store-bought Parmesan cheese and still consider that a from-scratch meal. Most of us aren’t making our own pasta or Parmesan. ? Grape tomatoes? The distinctions are a little complicated, methinks.

Thankful Thursday | goodbye, clouds!

The Frugal Girl

A lot of the test questions are rather obvious if you’ve been having periods, have experienced pregnancy, have raised babies, and so on. We have five exams in the first six weeks of this semester, so I’m gonna be a pretty busy test-taker for a bit here.

Thankful Thursday | my badge is back!

The Frugal Girl

that I’m not managing nursing school with small children A lot of my classmates have babies/young kids and my goodness, I imagine that’s gotta be very hard! I feel much better about printing all this paperwork since my printer ink is so cheap! I feel very thankful to not be homeschooling and to not have young kids right now.
