good night.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 6 Sep

I know I basically ghosted all day (except for that blink-and-you-miss-it appearance in the wee hours), but I still wanted to swing by and say goodnight. Today was a marathon of errands: a couple of stores, feeding the hungry...

Still awake.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 6 Sep

Here it is about to be six thirty and I'm still awake. Not entirely sure why my mind and achy body won't let me sleep but I wish that they would get their stuff together and let me get at least a few hours of good sleep....

Insomnia

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 6 Sep

It's twenty minutes till five am here. On Saturday. So you know I'm thrilled about not being able to sleep. But hey that's how insomnia works. Since I tried for about four hours and couldn't get any sleep., I figured I'd use...

Happy Fri-YAY

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 5 Sep

Today has been a full-on go, go, go kind of day. I had every intention of checking in earlier, but clearly the universe laughed at my schedule. Anyway, here I am — kids fed, chaos contained, laundry spinning like it’s training...

Excitement tomorrow!

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 30 Aug

The seventeen year old is off with friends for the long weekend so we decided to take the twelve year old and do something special with her tomorrow. We are going to get up early and drive to Dothan and go to the flea market. We...

That's a Wrap.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 30 Aug

It’s officially after 1 a.m., which means it’s time for me to admit defeat and call it a night. Today I managed to crank out two loads of laundry, wrangle some of the chaos in our room, and tackle a few other random “this has been...

Frugal Shopping: Ali Express Edition August 29th 2025 Order

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 30 Aug

The deals I scored today weren’t nearly as jaw-droppingly amazing as the ones I bragged about earlier, but hey — a deal is a deal. Plus, I got a little bonus from one of my freelance clients today, and after the year and a half...

Frugal Shopping: AliExpress Edition August 17th 2025 Order

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 29 Aug

I’m a few days behind on posting because I got sick. The original plan was to post about this when I ordered it, but then I forgot, got sick, and here we are — the order’s already here, and honestly, I’m pretty darn pleased with...

Finally through all my notifications.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 29 Aug

Not gonna lie — some of your notifications got deleted. I answered a bunch, but a few were just… poof. Gone. So if I missed yours, please don’t take it personally. I was MIA for almost a week (okay, closer to two), and some of...

What's for din? August 29th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 29 Aug

I’m alive and finally starting to feel like a semi-functioning human again. Dinner tonight was a last-minute, “oops, forgot to thaw anything” situation. While Chris and I were outside solving all of life’s problems (and, you know…...

Recovering from the plague.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 28 Aug

Sunday I started feeling real crappy about bed time, then the rest of the week up until last night it was getting progressively worse. I got meds yesterday while we were in town and have been staying pretty pumped full of...

What's for din? August 20th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 20 Aug

We picked the twelve year old up about thirty minutes early from school and then took her to Wendy's. I figured she wouldn't say no to that and we hadn't eaten all day. So that was dinner. I told her because we did that, I wasn't...

What's for din? (With cost breakdown) August 19, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 19 Aug

One kid is off at a friend’s house living their best life, and the other one gave my cooking the ol’ nose-in-the-air treatment like I served her a plate of dirt and despair. So tonight’s dinner was only divided between the three...

What's for din? (With frugal cost analysis) August 18, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 18 Aug

Tonight’s dinner was brought to you by: poor planning and fridge roulette. I completely forgot to take any meat out, so I went full Iron Chef: Desperation Edition. Here’s what ended up on the table: Blueberry pancakes (made...

Monday night chores.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 18 Aug

I am currently folding laundry and then will go through all of it. We have a ton of shirts. Most of the shirts I buy are so that we can both wear them. Just because that's easier for us and it works for us. I do have a couple...

Good morning.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 18 Aug

I know it's earlier than when I usually post, but we just got back from doing the school run. It's just after eight thirty in the morning. I don't really know what today has in store, but I did start a load of laundry so that's...

Kitchen is closed.

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 17 Aug

It’s just a little after 10:30, and the house is officially closed for business. Even the stove got a spa day—I scrubbed it so well it practically sparkles like it’s auditioning for a cleaning commercial. Then Rebel decided to...

What's for din? August 17th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 17 Aug

I cheated a little bit tonight and let the store do the hard part—I grabbed a rotisserie chicken instead of cooking the bird myself. But hey, everything else was homemade, so we’re calling it rustic authenticity. My chicken and...

Walmart Haul: August 17th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 17 Aug

We had to run to Walmart to pick up something for the seventeen-year-old (because apparently teenagers need things every single day), and of course, I had a few items to grab while we were there. Naturally, we walked out with way...

What's for lunch? August 17th, 2025

April @thislittlepennyearns (65866) • Defuniak Springs, Florida 17 Aug

It’s late, but we slept in (oops), and then decided to make a “quick” Walmart run… which, of course, turned into buying half the store. Honestly, I think Walmart sprinkles something in the air vents that makes you forget your list...
