The Frugal Girl

SEPTEMBER 18, 2023

A reader wrote me an email telling me about some family troubles, including the story of her son leaving an abusive marriage, with his little daughter in tow. My almost 12 year old son needs a phone, as I broke his. Thanks for your time; take care! Did you buy your phone through Mint, or did you bring your own?

to Grandfather’s house we go; . I’m pretty sure I always sang it as Grandmother’s house, which is weird since we actually went to my Grandfather’s house for holidays. The day starts/started with my mother or me or now my daughter getting up and stuffing the bird and getting it into the oven.

I’m fifty years old, married almost 25 years, with four sons of various ages ranging from all grown up to still-working-on-it. ? an illustration I did for one of my son’s books. This is a butcher board table my husband and sons made when we were living in a rental with very little useful counter space. Not at all.
