Thrifting is no longer fun; it’s frustrating, mainly because it’s my only option right now. I used to get immense joy out of blogging, but right now I feel mostly pressure (all from myself, none from you, my lovely readers, who bring me so much joy with your fun comments and insights). I’m not inspired by my wardrobe.

However, there are simple things we can do every day that help Mother Earth by using less energy, sending less trash to the land fills, and conserving our natural resources. Choose thrift first. And rather than throw unused possessions away, donate to a thrift store or offer up on Freecycle.org. You will save about $2.50

When I ran the church’s Mothers Day Out program we had a huge room for the toddlers with bookcases that had cubby holes for toys. It is just common sense and most of us do it most of the time. Look for those items that seem out of place and find a new spot for them. Label where things go. Get Organized'

There is a mother, worried over her grown son who was involved with drugs early in life and was recently hit by a car. Give away a dollar in front of the thrift store. There is an employee, laid off in 2009, still valiantly seeking work but secretly feeling his time is over. Help someone. Teach someone else something new.

These pictures were taken at my parents' house by my lovely mother (thanks Mom). Not too much on my end- maybe so thrifting , hanging with friends, relaxing. I used to be afraid to wear designed tights like this because I felt like they may rip or snag at any moment, but I really love these. Any excited plans for the upcoming weekend?

My mother was loving and worked so hard to provide for us, but it was frequently a struggle to get food, keep heat on, and other necessities. As an adult, I can see it was likely a mixture of not enough income, high cost of living area, mismanagement of money, and kids just being expensive for single mothers particularly.

Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm. Electronics/beauty products/new furniture or household items (I’m using things left by my grandparents & living in their house, have done some changes & repairs but free/thrift is excellent). This means funds are tight.
