Growing up, I remember my mom always sending me out to the composting bin with a bucket full of (what I thought was) gross bits and pieces of food waste. I remember opening the lid of our composting bin and what felt like a billion wasps, bees, and fruit flies coming out of the bin. Why Compost? exciting!

We share our home with a 70lb rescued mutt. After I had kids, I swapped that time to growing all sorts of interesting heirloom foods in my backyard. My family loves watching movies and tv series together, and having regular game nights. Having money already set aside also means we can pay upfront for most home maintenance costs.

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.
