The Power of Proud (and my challenge to you)

Posted on January 25, 2020January 25, 2020 by dance0015

“I’m proud of you.”  Four simple words that pack a powerful punch.  We grew up yearning for these words and when we received them, from a parent, teacher, mentor, our world felt bigger, we felt we had a place, we felt validated.  Something happens as we become adults. We hear those words less often and…

Newsflash! I found another grocery app!

Posted on January 8, 2020January 8, 2020 by dance0015

I’m not sure if I’ve been living under a rock for a few months or what, but one of my favorite coupon sites is now an APP where you can get grocery cash back! Coupons.com has always been a favorite place to print my coupons from, but now you can do everything from your phone,…

Motherhood Isn’t Pretty

Posted on January 6, 2020January 6, 2020 by dance0015

I’ve been stuck in my house for 4 days with a sick baby.  I finally snuck in a shower and I’m hoping to venture out tomorrow to put on a bra and workout.  Not much has been accomplished since my 18-month-old has been crying non-stop, even when held. Basically, I’ve been trying to remain nurturing…

Seeing 2020

Posted on December 30, 2019December 30, 2019 by dance0015

    I’m not going to lie, my New Year’s vision setting is often as bad as my eye vision (legally blind).  Like so many, I set goals for the new year (some maybe too lofty) and life gets in the way. As I write this, I’m finding myself the same weight I was one year ago…

I’m sorry, Mom

Posted on August 24, 2019August 24, 2019 by dance0015

Nine years of “in the trenches” parenting will cause you to do a lot of reflecting.  Some of my biggest “ah ha” moments are when I realize the sacrifices my mom made for us.  So here it is, I’m sorry mom… I’m sorry, Mom that the doctor made you wake me up every couple of…

Getting the Most From Your Savings Account

Posted on August 8, 2019August 8, 2019 by dance0015

I’m always looking for the best ways to make extra money. By far, the best way is to have your money earn more money while you go about your life. Making money without lifting a finger?! Does it get any better in the life of a frugal fanatic?! A few years ago I took a…

Beat The Gas Price Increases This Summer!

Posted on July 21, 2019July 21, 2019 by dance0015

Every Penny That Counts

Posted on July 18, 2019July 17, 2019 by dance0015

I’m frugal.  Not cheap, but frugal.  This blog, “Stressed, Blessed, and Savings Obsessed,” alludes to this.  Friends and family make fun but I’m not embarrassed, I’m not ashamed, in fact, I’m proud.  However, if I’m being honest, my friends and family may not quite know the depths of this frugality and financial hypersensitivity. Most of…

What’s in a Year?

Posted on July 9, 2019July 10, 2019 by dance0015

I hate change. I avoid change. Safe and routine are my friends. So when I was filled with years of conflict, I pushed on. When I was pregnant with baby #3 something painful and excruciating happened. Teaching had always been my passion and education was my lifelong career. All of the sudden I had doubt…

Posted on February 3, 2019February 2, 2019 by dance0015
