CSA Share Week #1
With great pride, I can attest that nothing was wasted in our first week’s CSA share. Mason jars combined with a plethora of extra vegetables make for some interesting dinners at the cottage.

Money and Love
Money is often a deal-breaker in relationships. It certainly has been a part of my life. My partner made me question a potentially new concept: can the challenge of frugal living bring two people closer together? Instead of being a painful chore, can it become a goal that two people strive to meet together? Coupons, deals, laughter, tears… Instead of something to be avoided, would it not, in fact, be an intimacy builder? I don’t want a life of perpetual struggle; it doesn’t have to be. With everything there is a choice. Is it a struggle? Or is appreciation and gratitude able to shine through? I really have no concept of how two people work together financially. For years, I have experienced the ups and the downs (myself), and have finally landed in a place of comfort. I’m happy with “my cheap life”… am I willing to let it be “our cheap life?”
