Identify Your Money Motivations

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

When you are trying to improve your financial situation, one of the moves to make is to change the way you spend money. However, addressing the symptoms of your money choices isn’t likely to result in long-term changes. You can only go so long by denying yourself everything you enjoy before you cave. Instead, it’s important to figure out your money motivations.

How to Cook Spaghetti Squash

Family Balance Sheet

It's uncanny how much cooked spaghetti squash looks like pasta. What's even more uncanny is that my kids didn't question that it wasn't pasta. When they asked, "what's for dinner", I honestly said, "spaghetti squash." They didn't even flinch; they just gobbled it up like they do when they eat pasta. I had never cooked or even eaten spaghetti squash until last week when I found one in our CSA box along with directions on how to cook it.

Fall Fashion…Furry Feet!

Cheap Chica's Guide To Style

I may come off like an old cranky curmudgeon in this post so I’m apologizing up front and in advance! While I live for Fall clothes, the one thing I can’t get on board with is the cooler temperatures. Now don’t get me wrong, I love layering sweaters, wearing leather pants and incorporating rich textures like tweed, faux fur and brocade into my wardrobe but the one thing I hate most about fall is cold feet!

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

I don’t know about you, but I simply can’t afford to throw away appliances that are still working, in order to buy new energy-efficient models. There’s a fair bit of hype these days about how much energy old appliances guzzle that it’s hard to know if there really is any benefit to upgrading. With this in mind, I decided to do some research to get to the true story; this article tells you what I found out so you can make your own informed decisions.

5 Signs That You Need a Change

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

Change is something that most people struggle with, myself included. It’s scary because when something changes, we are entering into the unknown. We inherently tend to bristle in the face of change as humans, as we are creatures of habit. We prefer do to the things that we know instead of learn something new and start over. But sometimes change is extremely good, and we need to recognize that sometimes we need a change to keep things fresh, interesting, or even to keep our creative juices flowin
