Before I moved last year I was part of a local MOMS Club group. One of the best parts of being in in MOMS Club was the Babysitting Co-Op, a program within the club for local moms to swap babysitting for points rather than pay. Because we already knew each other from club playgroups, it […] Read more…
So you don’t have the time to shop for yourself, and you’re thinking either:
A) I wish there was a more affordable StitchFix alternative out there. OR
B) I wish someone would pick out some pre-owned fashionable clothing for me and then a big box just shows up on my doorstep, like a sustainable clothing subscription box.
Then you need to listen up because if you haven’t yet tried out ThredUp’s Goody Boxes, you need to. STAT. Read more…
I should probably title this post How To Never Leave Your House To Go Grocery Shopping for Healthy Food & Supplies lol, because really, that’s kind of what this is: your guide to where to buy natural food online groceries. 🙂 Read more…
Rocksbox Review. Cause it’s exactly what I need in my life. It’s a “subscription box” service. Sort of. Basically, you pay $19 a month to rent unlimited jewelry. And it’s awesome. Get a free month if you use my code: RONNIBFF10 Read more…
You know how all the cool blogs talk about their fashion boxes like StitchFix and Golden Tote? I love the idea of these services, but my normally-frugal self gets all hyperventilated at the idea of spending big bucks money on clothing, ha ha. I just can’t do it. I mean, y’all – I made my own wedding dress. […] Read more…
I don’t know if you know this, but I’m a DIY kind of person. I like the challenge, I like not wasting, I like the ingenuity, I like the frugality. Sometimes my DIY projects are total wins. Sometimes they are total fails. Today’s post is an example how NOT to DIY. Late Summer 2015. My daughter […] Read more…
There’s another consignment sale coming up in a couple weeks and of course I signed up to consign. 🙂 I’ve been trying to once again hit some garage sales in the weeks beforehand and I will eventually post pictures of all my scores before the sale as well as another re-cap after. But in the […] Read more…
Note: This is an OUTDATED review for the 2015 Ultimate DIY Bundle. Are you looking for a different bundle review? See all my other Ultimate Bundles reviews HERE. And here it is! The post you’ve all been waiting for, I’m sure: My extremely honest review of the Ultimate DIY Ebook Bundle, good and bad. (oh, […] Read more…
Well, I’m back at it! I’ve signed up for another consignment sale (see here and consignment sale for the previous sales I’ve done) in mid-October and so I’m beginning my small income generating hobby of buying and reselling garage sale items. 🙂 For the above, I spent $37. Here’s a rundown of the items and […] Read more…
I originally brought this post over from a previous blog of mine for two reasons: 1) Quite a few people have pinned the images and I’d rather that traffic re-route over to this blog, but also 2) because, in hindsight, that was a rather important week and I’ve often looked back on those two events […] Read more…
Hello everyone (I don’t know why I felt like opening this post this way; for some reason I just felt like beginning with a salutation)! So…..you wanna know a secret? It’s not going to be a secret for much longer and it isn’t particularly very juicy or impressive. But here goes: You know that little […] Read more…
I don’t know how exactly one becomes a garage sale expert, but I am self-proclaming myself as one. 🙂 I’ve been going to garage sales here and there for years, however in the past year or two, I’ve become a garage sale regular. I’m out at sales at least two Saturdays a month. And I’ve […] Read more…
Though I technically started on Friday, this coming week will be my first real week at my new job. This new job may be very similar to my old job, but because it’s new and fresh to me, I’m feeling optimistic that I can climb out of the rut I was left in from my […] Read more…
Ok, so CRAZY me decided to sign up to do consignment sale right around my due date. I knew I might eventually regret trying to take on a sale, but I did it anyways, as every little bit of money helps right now…well, and it’s also kind of fun to scrounge around at garage sales […] Read more…
I’m done!!! The kitchen is clean (well, mostly clean) and most importantly, I’m done. As in mentally done. At this point, I never want to do freezer cooking again! Of course, I’m sure that once I start taking advantage of all my nutritious freezer meals over the next month that I’ll change my mind, but […] Read more…
Consignment sale drop off is in three more weeks, however, after this morning, I don’t know how many more weekends I’ll have this in me, ha ha. The end of pregnancy is starting to take its’ toll…even though I’m only 37 weeks. It’s kind of crazy to me that I’m actually at the end and […] Read more…
Sometimes, I sign up and obligate myself to things that I kiiiindaaa know I shouldn’t, but I do it anyways, hoping that things will just all nicely work out. Hopefully. Maybe if I cross my fingers tight enough. Maybe? You know how I mentioned in consignment sale about the cool consignment sale I participated in […] Read more…
Over the past year, I’ve gotten more into couponing. Honestly, I’m not gonna lie – it’s a lot of work and time. Yes, it saves a good deal of money…but I can’t say that the time spent on clipping, matching, organizing and planning a coupon shopping trip is completely worth it. But it is what […] Read more…
Last weekend, I participated in a consignment sale. Do they have these huge, weekend consignment sales in other parts of the country as well, or just consignment stores? Either way, I’ve been going to the L.A. Kids Consignment sale for a couple years, but this past weekend was the first time I’d ever signed up […] Read more…
