It is getting hot and to be honest, cooking is not on the top of my list of things that I want to do. Unfortunately though we still have to eat every day so these days the meals are lighter – more vegetables and less meat. Here is what we are having in the coming […]
New Old Shoes
I really don’t plan to, but somehow half my posts end up being about shoes! Oh, well, bear with me because here comes another…. So I have this pair if sandals that I bought on sale last spring. I wore them a lot last summer and they are very comfortable. A few months ago I […]
What’s for Dinner 18
After 35 years on this earth I have just discovered homemade mayonnaise! Very good for my taste buds but probably less good for my waist line 🙂 In my opinion it tastes so much better than the store bought kind. In the last year or so I have been buying the organic kind but it […]
What are your Priorities?
We have never paid for cable TV, not because we think that it is a bad thing, but because that we watch so little TV, that it is not worth it for us. We watch the news once in a while and believe me, life is much nicer without… On occasion I watch an episode […]
Do you need a Budget? Want a Budget? Here is how to!
Like you probably know, we have a budget. The thing about budgets is, that if you don’t make monthly follow-ups or track you expenses on a regular basis, it is not very helpful. You have to be hands on and updated at least once a month in order for the budget to be helpful and […]

While my reaction was shaking my head a bit over this extravaganza and but also thinking their […]
What’s for Dinner 17
Yes, planning can be a pain and I often do not have the power for it. With the end of a nice weekend, the top priority is not to sit down and plan all the meals for the coming week. But…. Then I have to remind myself that in the end, the effort of 30 […]
It is All About Bread
(Let me start off this post with an apology to those who cannot eat bread, sorry…..) There has been a continuous love story between me and bread for as long as I can remember and it is probably the reason why I have never succeeded in following no-carb diets. Cutting it down? Sure. Cutting it […]
A Bit about Sewing and Saving
Last week we had a few days off which gave me some more time to be a bit crafty. As I wrote in earlier posts, lately I have been getting back to doing some sewing after not having touched the machine for many years. I am still quite rusty, but feel that for every time […]
What do you Think about Pocket Money for Kids?
Growing up I didn’t receive pocket money from my parents. If I needed something it was up to them to decide whether or not they would buy it for me or give me the money to do so. The only time I can remember that I felt that is was not a fair deal, […]
