Practical Ways to Improve Your Home, Life, & Budget
In 2018 we paid off almost $19,000 of debt in 10 months. Typing that still blows my mind. And while I’ve always been quite good at being intentional with our money, the truth is there was no way we could have accomplished that without earning more. No matter how frugal we could have become, there […]
Imagine my joy at finally having a proper kitchen pantry when we bought our current house! Our pervious two houses were severely lacking in the food storage department. It was all going great at first. When we moved across the country from Michigan to Colorado, we came with no food at all so we were […]
I’ve kept my love of spices and seasonings a secret from you for a long time. I can’t help it. It’s hereditary. My mom has a pretty epic spice collection in her kitchen. And they’re alphabetized. Whenever either of us moves, we ask each other where are you going to keep your spices? Well, the […]

Creating an emergency meal plan has been on my mind for a while now. It started with a general feeling that I should stock up on some basics when the coronavirus hit. But all of the “stockpile lists” online didn’t feel like they were what I needed. A pantry jam-packed with random basics didn’t feel […]

When we moved from Michigan to Colorado last year, we got rid of so much stuff. Like, probably 80% of our stuff got sold or donated. So when we bought a house here, it looked shockingly sparse.
