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

May 24, 2018May 23, 2018 The Thrifty EducatorLeave a comment

  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

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

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

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
