From Stilettos to Sneakers

From Stilettos to Sneakers

Once upon a time, I was a girl with shoes. Shoes were my favorite thing to own and buy. Shoes made me feel pretty when the weight piled on from poor choices and a very lazy thyroid.

The Prehistoric Wolfdog

wolfdog

A little bit of background info: I work from home. Because I don’t know any better, I assume that dinosaurs sounded exactly like movie dinosaurs. The same goes for all prehistoric creatures.

How We Cut Our Grocery Spending by Approximately 50%

Grocery

Our grocery spending was out of control. Each week, it was common for me to spend between $200-300 at Whole Foods. Add in the monthly trip to Costco. Add in the small trips in between for little stuff we might need at Smith’s. There were months where we easily spent $1,300 a month on groceries. [...]

Blogging Seinfeld Style

Seinfeld Style

[Please humor me and when you read the title, say it a la "oppan gangnam style." That's how it sounds in my head and I want it to sound like that in your head too.] I was planning to write a grocery shopping post, but I have all of these other fragments in my head, [...]
