9 reasons I'm a little hippie.

I've come to the conclusion that I'm a hippie. Somehow, this mostly happened AFTER college. Don't know how THAT happened. Here's a few reasons I've decided this matter.

9 Reasons I'm a lil crunchy:

1. I wash my face with oil. Yes, you read that right, and it's amazing.

2. If people didn't have such a strong aversion to it I would completely douse myself in patchouli--yes, NG, I'm partly talkin to you ;)

3. I bring my lunch to work in glass jars and canvas bags instead of plastic tupperware or ziploc. Mostly thanks to my MIL.

4. Both of my dogs are from shelters. I'm not opposed to buying a 'designer' dog. They're adorable. I just have a bleeding heart when it comes to stray, underfed pups.

5. I <3 recycling.

6. I drink more tea than should be legal. Rooibos is my fave. Mate is a close runner up.

7. I'm buying a CSA(Community Supported Agriculture) share for the first time this year, and I'm really excited!

8. I love living in the PNW. :) Not really hippie. But kinda hipster.

9. I read about a bazillion simple life/green living/ frugality/ "homestead" blogs.


Maybe all of these things alone does not a hippie make. But I'm content in learning and growing and finding new ways to do things I used to give little or no thought to. If that makes me a hippie, then so be it. But I'll keep using my razor if that's cool with you. ;)

Vote, please!!

I've been thinking lately...

I'm not crazy about my blog title.

I actually put off writing a blog for a long time because the title was the hardest part for me. I somehow feel like SOMEONE is going to judge me no matter WHAT I come up with. Silly, I know.

I tried to come up with something that I felt described me, and settled. I don't like it because it's too long and doesn't really 'go' with what I usually have written about.
Therefore, I propose a change. :)

I usually write about infertility and saving money. Plus wifey things. Plus humor. So I need a slightly humouros title that includes all of that. No biggie, right??

Here's my faves so far:

*Cheapskate Conception
*Coupons and Conception (theres some variances here)
*Frugal and Infertile
*Frugal Mama Wannabe
*Baby Bargains (this one makes me lol)

Anyone have any other suggestions? I'd love input! Saying you like my existing name is ok, too. But only if you mean it. And only if you like it better than all of the above. :)

I must be crazy.

I have NEVER been one of those people to create a hypothetical travel idea just for fun. You know the type. They start playing around with flight dates and planning, with no intention to actually go.

I became that person today.
