  • Starting Decluttering?

    I cannot stress enough how much easier life is when you simplify. Getting rid of things continues to be a game changer for me, and I can’t wait until I’ve gotten rid of enough to be “under my clutter threshold”, as Dana K White puts it. I’m kinder to my husband, more patient with my…

  • Affordable Montessori Wardrobe..??

    Try something like this, if your kid likes to climb: https://www.amazon.com/VASAGLE-Industrial-Entryway-Furniture-UHSR40B/dp/B0786BN4WY?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 Priceyer, but pretty, and all you need to do is take out the shelf and add a tension rod. (You can get those for about ten bucks just about anywhere.) https://www.amazon.com/VASAGLE-Bathroom-Storage-Adjustable-UBBC49WT/dp/B07Q7GVZV6?ref_=ast_sto_dp&th=1&psc=1 Kid-sized hangers are usually 11.5 inches, so they would either just make or…

  • “Much Good Work..”

    “Much good work is lost for the lack of a little more.” I can’t remember where I first came across this quotation, but Google ascribes it to Edward H Harriman. I have no idea who this man is, but I do know this line to be true. When I first heard it, my mind was flooded…

  • Potty Training

    I was blessed with a mom who taught me how responsibility works. When I asked for a dog, she didn’t go out and spend hundreds of dollars on one, and then continue to spend thousands on food and vet bills. She told me that if I saved enough money to get my own, and continued…

  • Free Resources

    Are you looking to make more income, but don’t have any clue where to start? The question to ask yourself is, “What are my free resources?” Free resources can mean anything. It can mean an interest, a skill, a degree. Don’t count the cost that went into it. Just consider now that because you own…

  • Local Work

    There’s an office job a short (walkable) distance from my house, and I’ve recently begun working there just two hours a day three days a week. It’s not a lot of hours, so not a lot of money – but also not a lot of time spent away from my kids. I start early, and…

  • Welcome!

    This website was started in April of 2023, as a way to keep me occupied and potentially help supplement our family income so that I could continue to stay home with our two small children. We’ll see where this new endeavor takes us!

  • Feast Days

    Are you living according to the Liturgical Year? Do you want to? My son’s patronal feast day is coming up, and one of the ways we bring Catholicism into our children’s daily lives in a real and tangible way is to celebrate ALL THE FEAST DAYS – not just Christmas and Easter, but first class…

  • Decluttering win?

    My local parish will be having a bazaar this month. Setting up a table will be $20. Is there something similar at your church? Can you get in touch with your pastor and talk to him about starting one? If I can play the 30-Day Minimalist game starting today, and then sell everything I’ve decluttered…

  • Let’s get started!

    This blog is, itself, part of my attempt at binging in more money for my family. I’ve thought about blogging for a while now, but never felt like I had much to contribute, and like it would end up just being my personal online diary. But, look.. I’ve read lots of successful blogs that feel…
