How I encourage myself to drink more water -and it has nothing to do with any apps!
Water is basic stuff. I mean we all know it- we cannot survive without it- but since daily life for most of us offers so many other thirst quenching options, there needs to be a reminder from time to time of this wonderful green, organic, healthy, frugal substance. I’ve seen people where I work that […]
My 7 days a week exercize routine- all for 30$ a month (!?)
Wait -please don’t jump on me shouting “what?? 7 days a week?? what about rest days? at least 2 of those every week!” and all that. I am well aware -and by the way so should every one be- over exercising is very bad for you- please consult with your physician before going about any […]
How (and why) I sprout my own sprouts

Why (and how)I indulge myself at every meal!
I take food very seriously. I love eating and I enjoy cooking and trying new recipes -and giving them a new and personal twist.

Now that I’ve set my mind on keeping my savings rate over 75% ( I know there are unexpected spendings- those are not taken into account per-se but I do try to leave a margin of error every month for these surprises…), I have tackled my gas and electricity bills. These two are a major […]
Vegan snacks- liked by omnivore kids too!
One of my big dilemma’s is can I feed my kids healthy nutritious food without them declaring war on me. Sadly we are not one of those families where all family members are happy environmentalistic vegans who recycle all day long and play outside with their organic rabbit. I wish we were. My family is […]
