Frugal Endeavors – Wealth beyond counting

 

June 1 to June 15, 2017

Rest stop at Stanley Glacier

The last couple of weeks, The Man and I took a trip to Alberta to visit friends and family and to attend a wedding.  Travelling and being away from home always comes with a cost but I think we did a pretty good job of saving money.

Frugal Endeavors

A new toy for me.

May 23 to May 29, 2017

Well, summer has certainly arrived in my neck of the woods. That means it has gotten busy, both home and at work, but I still found time to be frugal.

Frugal Endeavors – from frost to furnace

Boys and their toys

May 16 to May 22, 2017

This week started with frost and winter said it’s final goodbye.

Dandelion Jelly – Sunshine in a jar.

I know that there are those who see dandelions as a nuisance but to me they are an early promise of warm summer days, sunshine, and time spent laughing with friends. When I came across this recipe on line, I just had to give it a try. After all, who can resist an jar full of sunshine and happiness.

Frugal Endeavors – Mother’s Day

I think that this is my favorite tulip from my mom’s garden.

May 9 to 15, 2017

We remained pretty frugal this week despite Mother’s Day. 

Frugal Endeavors – Hello May!

This was a picture of a double rainbow over our house. If you squint just right, you can see the second rainbow.

May 3 to May 8, 2017

May has brought with it warmer weather. The change in temperature meant that we could move some of our frugal activities into the great outdoors. Fortunately, we have not been directly affected by any flooding in our area, but my thoughts go out to all those who are.
