Here are some blessings that I received this week: 1. Raincheck I missed out on a great deal on ice cream sandwiches last week at Kroger because they sold out quickly during their 4 day sale promotion. While I was checking out at Kroger last week, I was chatting with one of my favorite cashiers… Continue reading Blessings This Week

Five Frugal Things
1. Used books I have been looking for a few books in a series that I have been reading lately, so I was happy to find them at the library used book room for just $.50 each. My daughter also found a book that she was missing from a series for just $1. 2. Kroger… Continue reading Five Frugal Things
Weekly Goal Update for Week 22
1. Walk at least 500 miles this year (197 miles down and 303 miles to go) We have had a hot and humid summer week this week (typical for Alabama), but I sucked it up and did all of my miles outdoors. A lot of sweating occurred but it felt great:) 2. Eat under 40… Continue reading Weekly Goal Update for Week 22
Weekly Goal Update for Week 21
1. Walk at least 500 miles this year (187 miles down and 313 to go) I managed to get 10 miles in this week despite rain and poor scheduling on my part. I sometimes will count other activities as "walking" if I cannot fit in a daily walk. This week, I counted 2 hours of… Continue reading Weekly Goal Update for Week 21
Low carb Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes
One of the nice things about raising my daily net carbs to 40, is that I can occasionally have oatmeal again. (I also happen to have an enormous bag of frozen blueberries that desperately need to be used up soon, so I went searching for a low carb pancake recipe to try out.) Surprisingly,… Continue reading Low carb Blueberry Oatmeal Pancakes

Five Frugal Things
1. Homemade Mother's Day cards I always tell my kids to make me a card each year, because it is basically free and way more personal than store bought cards. **I also get a kick out of whatever picture they make for me each year:) 2. No food waste this week! I always feel so… Continue reading Five Frugal Things
Weekly Goal Update for Week 19
1. Walk at least 500 miles this year (167 down and 333 to go) We had beautiful weather this week, so I walked all 10 miles outdoors. **On a sad note, while all of this walking is great for my back and health, it is terrible on my pocketbook! I noticed that my tennis shoes… Continue reading Weekly Goal Update for Week 19
Five Frugal Things
1. Kohl's Cash I received $10 in Kohl's cash a few weeks ago for being a loyal customer for the past 10 years and thankfully I remembered to redeem the coupon before it expired next week:) I chose to purchase three new bath towels because they were on sale for $3.50 each (and our towels… Continue reading Five Frugal Things
