The Frugal Girl

MARCH 4, 2024

Our mom stayed home to raise us kids; she went to work part-time in the local school system after both my brother and I were in school. My dad was a blue-collar worker – a machine operator on the railroad who sometimes got laid off for periods of time in the winter. I enjoy playing the game and I like to win.

This is going to be an exciting year for books and movies. If you are looking for a good book to read, check out this list of books becoming movies in 2015. I always love to read the book before I see the movie, this list should give you a great head start. #1 Hollywood has some hot adaptations being released in 2015.

Besides farming, I love reading, enjoy baking & am always looking for new affordable adventures for my kids & I (new trails, a movie, water park, climbing, bookstores off the beaten track, escape rooms) 2. Now-I’m a single parent who works part-time, cares for my elder mother, homeschools & runs a farm.

Eating out or going to a movie were once a year events. Instead of spending his birthday check for $10, my husband put it in savings – every single time. We especially never put anything consumable (like gas, food, eating out, movies and etc) on a credit card. I worked a part time job the weekends he wasn’t working.
