Prairie Eco-Thrifter

There is nothing more relaxing than spending time in nature on a hopefully hot and sunny summer weekend. It is keeping me pretty busy as the nights I am not in class I have a bunch of studying to do. It helps take some pressure off that is for sure especially when I am still working full time while taking this course.

For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support). And art supplies: I like to paint and draw, so every now and then I splash out. Also, growing our own food. Allergic Girl (me) to have a cat again!

Limiting waste is what really drives most of the habits I have that would qualify as “frugal” – reducing/eliminating food waste, returning unneeded items, pursuing refunds, checking on warranties, repairing things, etc. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love.
