March 27, 2017 by Kendra 2 Comments

Create a cuddle up movie night with your toddler! Make a blanket fort, no sew sleep sack, fruits, and a free movie credit from VUDU. #YourTaxCash #ad

Disclosure: This shop has been compensated by Collective Bias, Inc. and its advertiser, Walmart Family Mobile. All opinions are mine alone. #YourTaxCash #CollectiveBias We recently used some of our tax refund to upgrade our phones and service through Walmart Family Mobile. The Upgrade came with a free (valued at $7 same as a new release rental) monthly movie credit through VUDU so I thought it would be fun to plan a special family movie night and include the toddler since […]

Creating a simple filing system is easier than you may think. Here's how to easily organize your home office

Paper… Piles and piles of paper. Pretty sure the trees are crying! Anyone else feel like their desk/office area just overflows with paper? Today I’m sharing my system for creating a simple filing system. And I do this every year! Each year, after our taxes have been safely squared away with the IRS and everything settled, I clear out my main filing drawer. Typically the first of March is when this gets done. This year too many things were going on so […]

Okay ya’ll, we went 3 full weeks in the shop my pantry challenge and while hubby is running out of snacks (and I’m running out of ingredients to make them) we’ve done really well. I’ve worked on an overall plan and part one includes a monthly shopping list for Sam’s Club and Aldi. I want to visit Aldi and make sure of the pricings for stuff before I make that monthly list. In the past we’ve went to Sam’s once […]

August 18, 2016 by Kendra 15 Comments

After balancing the checkbook and making sure everything lined up, I took a glance at our food spending for the year. Astronomical spending. I sat there in a bit of shock and decided right then and there to issue myself a shop my pantry challenge. At the end of last year I looked over our grocery spending and realized we had spent around $13 a day on food. That is less than the “thrifty plan” mentioned on the USDA costs of […]

Surprising things Frugal People do

January 27, 2016 by Kendra 8 Comments

I definitely consider myself a frugalista and thrive on saving money. But there are a few surprising things frugal people do that you may not know about. Being frugal doesn’t always mean never spending money, nor does it mean keeping all your cash in envelopes. Just like we are all different in personalities, frugal people are different in ways they save. However, there is one thing all frugal people have in common. A Goal.  Whether that goal is to retire early, […]

Big fat hairy audacious dreams are the only ones worth having. These are the dreams that look impossible and probably are impossible. But they are your dreams and you are going to do everything you can to achieve them, even though the world is shaking their heads. “It’s kind of fun to do the impossible” ~ Walt Disney The above quote was my inspiration. Fun to do the impossible. What in my life did I want to do even though […]

April 23, 2015 by Kendra 2 Comments

With 1% of the U.S. homeless each year, I am very thankful to have a home. 30 days day 26.

The average age of first time home-buyers according to most realtor sites, is early 30’s. But we bought a home in our 20’s early 20’s to be precise. Jason was 23, I was 22. Are you wondering how we bought a home in our 20’s or are you really wondering how old we were when we got married?!? 😛 We were babies when we got married, babies I tell you. I had just turned 21 and Jason was 22. However, […]

Family butchering day

Hello all! I don’t have a regular post for you today, just been a bit busy around here. 🙂 Saturday our family butchered 2 pigs and they are now residing in our freezers. Butchering is usually pretty fun for a couple of reasons. One, it’s just fun to have the family together, even though most of the time we are arguing. 🙂 In a good way of course.

Benefits of Buying Meat from Farmers

September 2, 2014 by Kendra 3 Comments

Learn the benefits of buying meat from farmers directly instead of at the store.

Do you buy your meat directly from farmers? Do you know what the benefits of buying meat from farmers are?  Since I grew up on a farm, we had access to beef and chickens. In the wintertime we would get a hog from a farmer and butcher it ourselves. My parents no longer raise cattle, but they still have chickens and we (Jason and I) still get our chickens from them.  However we were spoiled by getting meat straight from […]

How canning benefits our wallets, home and health!

Been thinking about canning lately; maybe because I’ve been doing a lot of it. And any rate, I got to thinking about how canning is beneficial to basically everyone.

Simple and cheap gift wrap is surprisingly easy. Besides, who would believe I got half the supplies for free?!?!

Today I wanted to show you my simple and cheap gift wrap. We have used the funnies from the Sunday comics to wrap birthday presents for years. But the comics aren’t exactly classy enough for some occasions. Sometime last year I came upon a great idea for baby shower gifts and for weddings too. It was as simple as tissue paper and ribbons. Because I’m a (sometimes) crafter, ribbons are found in plenty around our house.  As well, I buy […]
