Hello Reader, Every day, I share the best deals I can find on Facebook. My website is full of recipes, frugal tips, and practical ways to save money. But over the years, I've realized something has been missing. I've always wished we had a place where we could slow down and actually get to know each other. And maybe now more than ever, we need each other. With the cost of groceries, housing, and just about everything else continuing to rise, I think we need each other now more than ever. I...

Hi Friend! ✨ Today's email is packed with deals, but I hope you'll stick around for the P.S. at the end. It's a little glimpse of something I've been dreaming about that I think you're going to love. Listen... I know this isn't exactly frugal, but this is one thing I'll always make room for in my grocery budget. 😂 These paper plates were less than $5, and honestly? They're worth every penny. Sure, I could use regular plates... but then I'd have 100 more dishes to wash after everyone leaves. 😅...

Every Prime Day, I feel like I should remind you of something important: You do not have to buy anything. I know the deals can be tempting, but a deal isn't really a deal if it's something you weren't planning to buy or can't comfortably fit into your budget. My goal has never been to convince you to spend money. It's always been to help you save money on the things you already need. In fact, one of my favorite Prime Day hacks isn't about finding new things to buy... 🚨 Hidden Prime Day Hack:...

Hi friend, My grandsons are coming to visit us for the weekend, so I probably won't be online much the next couple days. So I wanted to send you this email before they get here to say hi👋👋 Every year around this time, I start thinking about Thanksgiving and my favorite sweet potato casserole, the one that’s earned a permanent spot on our Thanksgiving table. 🍠 Is it a side dish? Or is it dessert? I grew up with the marshmallow version, and I loved that slightly burnt marshmallow goodness, but...

Hey friend 💛 I’m starting something new… that actually feels a lot like something old. Back when I first started blogging, I’d share it all—from messy mom moments and grocery store prayers to little life hacks that made things sweeter (and cheaper). My blog was called This Side of Eternity, and it was all about living well, spending wisely, and keeping our eyes on what really matters. That’s why I chose to bring back the name for my brand-new Substack newsletter. It’s a return to the kind of...
