Since venturing out on this new money-saving, budget following lifestyle my main argument has been that it CAN be done, living on less without compromising on the quality of life. Sure, it sometimes takes a bit more of planning the grocery shopping and meal planning for example, and sometimes it takes a bit more work […]
Thoughts on Love, Marriage and Money
I read in several places that money matters is the number one reason for divorce. Actually our main source of argument is who cleans the house more (me, of course!) and rarely about money, but that’s a whole other story 😉 Anyway, today Dear Husband and I celebrate our 13th wedding anniversary, so what could […]
The Lunch Box Chore (and a recipe)
I have no fond memories of the lunch box during my school years. My mother was no big fan of preparing them and I was no big fan of eating them! I guess my complaining was so great that from about the fourth grade, I was kindly asked to prepare my own 😉 Play it […]
My New Second Hand Dress
I have never been a huge fan of second hand things. Some of my best friend do and I have even spent hours in flea markets and vintage shops. I have never though bought any second hand piece of clothing before – that means, before now….. What can I do? I like new 🙂
The Do’s and Don’ts of Comparing Yourself to Others
With my kids it is all about comparisons – to each other that is. What did she get? Did he get more than me? Why can she do that and I can’t? The words I hear the most lately are “that is not fair”! Funny at times but mostly just tiring. I think that we […]

I think that I am quite careful (read cheap!) when it comes to money. I tend to hold on to my money and are not easily spending them. I almost always think twice before buying something and even continue to think if it was the right thing to do after. Sometimes it is a good […]
Spring cleaning
Yesterday my daughter had some philosophical thoughts on how it can be that we clean the house but then it always gets dirty and messy again. Wouldn’t it just be great if we cleaned once and that it would stay that way? I don’t particularly like to clean (who does?) but don’t also like with […]
How to get new Clothes by Cleaning out your Closet
My closet is a mess. Or more precisely was, until today. Because today I cleaned out my closet, organized, re-organized and got rid of two garbage bags full of clothes that I will not wear anymore. The task has been on my to-do list for ages and I suddenly decided that today is the day […]
The joys of hair washing
You know the internet? Where we spend a lot of our time doing all sorts of things we were probably better off without? Or at least I do! Admitted, I have my 5 (more or less) regular sites that I read daily but once in a while, the internet takes me places I have never […]
