DECEMBER 13, 2023

Winter is right around the corner and some places have gotten colder already, which can make doing activities outside not that fun. Any vendor who makes and/or sells Scandinavian goods in Oregon and Washington come to help folks with their holiday shopping lists and decorate their home.

The Frugal Girl

NOVEMBER 6, 2023

I like to bake and read, and I spend time chauffeuring kids to activities and games. Growing up in a large family, we had enough, but with the specter of inflation and bad job market (gotta love the 70’s and 80’s) , there was definitely a feeling of needing to make sure you had a cushion.

Make it a Necessities Only Year. I have made a pact with myself that if I don’t already own something that I need, I will either: make do with what I have, find said item at a thrift store, borrow, or forget about it. We will continue to save for travel and it is already part of our budget. Guidelines for 2016: 1.

Prairie Eco-Thrifter

We make plenty!” Our son was growing, and we knew we wanted to provide him with extracurricular activities that made sense for him — music and sports and scouting. I like travel. Living there would be a different animal altogether and it would take a much higher income to make do.
