Thank you all so much for the kind words about our sweet Gypsy. We’ve missed her a lot, but our other two kitties have stepped up their snuggling game to make sure we feel better. It helps to know every decision we made was with her best interest in our minds.
I’ve been working on a sourdough starter this week. Am I doing it right? I dunno. Thankfully it’s cheap to try, so the worst thing that happens is it has to be trashed. The best thing of course, is that I’ll get to eat myself into a sourdough coma. Yum. It’s been one of my favorite funky flavors since I was a kid, so I am hoping I can get it working and keep it alive!
Our seeds have been started and we’ve got some beautiful little seedlings growing! Miss Bongo’s first round of flower seeds didn’t germinate. They came from the library seed exchange and were packed for the 2019 growing season so I think they were just old and/or stored improperly. Thankfully you can get seeds from the Dollar Tree! I picked up two packets of flowers for her, marigolds and bachelor buttons. They almost immediately germinated (we’re talking in under 2 days!) so all is right in the world for the kiddo now. She’s just anxious to get them outside. If you live in the South, you know all about the false spring we get every single year. That’s where we are now- beautiful temperatures, sunny days, and a bed of lies. I have lived here much too long to be fooled, weather. You’re just waiting to break our hearts and freeze our gardens. I know how this works.
I’ve continued on with some big earnings this week. I’m still channeling my general anxiety into HOW CAN I MAKE PENNIES and it’s been working out. More decluttering means more Mercari listings, and more sales! I also picked up a rather big craft order this week.
Several of my monthly panels paid out because it’s the start of a new month, so that’s always a welcome boost!
To tell y’all I was shocked when I totaled my earnings this week- shocked is not even the word. I was blown away!

I can’t believe. Just like that, Kristen D. has earned all the dollars- at least, all the dollars for this vacation! Since I financed this one and the Disneyland trip we didn’t get to take, I’m going to sit down with my husband tonight and figure out what we’re going to coupon to next. You know I’m not going to stop earning just because I’m not sure what my new goal is!
Thank you all for taking this journey with me. I’ve enjoyed sharing everything with you!
