Friday flâner

A few things I enjoyed from around the web last week, along with other newsy bits.

I wrote at MicroPreemie.net: 6 Things My Preemie Taught Me About Life

(Thing 4b: it’s ok to cry. Yesterday my preemie saw a butterfly and said, “Butterfly. Beautiful!“, and I burst into tears. We’ve come a long way.)

Filed under “tiny house love”, this bus converted into an adorable living space. When I see pictures like this, my heart does this little flip-flop of longing. That’s a sign isn’t it? I want to live in one of these someday.

Have your kids gotten bit by the homemade slime bug? My 11-year-old makes it by the gallon, it seems. Here’s a recipe similar to hers.

I contributed to this book, which was just released in paperback: The Shoestring Girl: How I Live On Practically Nothing And You Can Too. The chapter I wrote is about frugality with kids.


Being a big fan of Annie Brewer’s books, I was honored to have been able to co-author. Read a couple of quick reviews here: my favorite books on radical frugality.

Don’t forget about this Conquer Your Clutter Ultimate Bundle, (time-sensitive offer) and my offer here for subscribers.

    Sonia is ALWAYS making slime of some sort (she’s 12!). Glitter slime, colored slime, slime made with various ingredient lists…you name it, she’s made it!

    It must be a pre-teen thing. 😉
