Hello my friend,

​

I spent this past weekend celebrating another trip around the sun. It included a big breakfast with family, a delicious hot cup of coffee, and a great movie. One of my received love languages is spending quality time with those people that I cherish. So, the day was perfect.

What did we see? Substance starring Demi Moore. Wow, that was an intense movie. Demi Moore's talent shined in this movie and I was happy to see her act again.

​

We thought it was a great movie. All to say ladies, we don't have it easy when it comes to aging! 😂 If you see it, let me know what you thought about the movie. Hit reply on this email.

Autumn 🍂 is finally upon us and I am excited that I will be able to wear sweaters this season! This week I started Five Frugal Things posts where I share my day-to-day with frugal living and living with intention & joy. I am excited to connect with you. Every Thursday, a new post will be published and the comments are open for discussion. I've also expanded the front page of the site with more categories. The Facebook page is up now. Although there may be delay in rolling with the activity until I get my social media calendar all figured out (aka, how to fit all things in that I want to do into a 24-7 space). That doesn't include the other ideas I want to bring forth for Frugal to FI. Tossing around ideas like creating content for Budget Case Studies, Frugal Cooking 🧡, Budgeting videos and more. ​ Until next time!
