Comment on Cranberry Apple Scones with Cinnamon Glaze by Nia

We made these on Monday. Doubled the batch and have been eating them for breakfast and snacks. I was looking for recipes to use up our Pink Lady apples we oredered from Azure Standard. These scones are so good Amy. Love the cinnamon glaze. I am going to try the flash freeze and pull out to bake up fresh when needed. What da ya think?

Thanks for the encouragement today! It’s difficult sometimes to see the things other are able to purchase (new clothes, new electronics, new household items, fancy photography of their kids, generous gifts for the holidays) and not wish we could buy those same things. But we’re hoping to pay off our second mortgage this spring, and I’m saving up to be a bridesmaid in my sister’s wedding this summer. Those things are worth more to us. Thanks for reminding me to celebrate along the way!

I had to chuckle a bit at reading this because our cars are a 1993 and a 1997 and we are hoping to purchase at least a 2001 vehicle in the near future. Saying that, our 1993 Toyota Camry purchased several years ago, is the best car I have ever driven. I agree that perspective is the key to successful frugal living!

I really enjoyed this post.

We are driving a hand-me-down Volvo station wagon that my parents bought when I was 11 (I’m 22 now). It is hovering at around 180K miles, but it’s still running–AND there’s enough room in the bench seat for that third car seat we’re going to add to the mix this fall…so I think we’ll just keep it until we have a 4th kiddo or it stops running. )

We’re a one-car family, and have been since we bought out current vehicle. It’s 7 years old, and has 78, 651 miles on it. We really don’t go many places.

Our frugal celebrations are different than yours. They involve things like paying board games at home with mom and dad. Spending even just a little money isn’t something we can afford right now, so we find ways to make do with waht we have at home.

Phew! This post couldn’t have come at a better time! My tax return is so close to being in my bank that I can almost taste it! On paper I’ve got a great plan that will set me up for success for the rest of the year, but for the past week I’ve worked up quite a list of “wants”. This post caught my eye and said to me “Hey you! Aren’t you one of those frugal people this article is talking about?” And my mind said “ooohhh yeaaahhhhh I forgot!” LOL. Good timing!
