In The Mood

We have this absolutely amazing waterfront park in our neighborhood. During the summer, they host a series of concerts for free. We pack a picnic and meet friends for a night of music and fun, all right on the gorgeous Harbor. For zero dollars, I can't think of a much better night out! 

This past week, they hosted a wonderful Big Band that played swing music! A local swing dancing group came and showed off their moves for the crowd. So fun! 

Urban Wild

Hello friends! I was perusing photos from this past weekend and thought I should share this wonderful walk. If you're local to Boston, you should check all of the different parts of the Harborwalk. This section, in East Boston is called the Condor Street Urban Wild. It's a nice little area to detour to if you're in the 'hood. Check it out: 

Summer!

We're in the midst of planning our annual camping trip to the Boston Harbor Islands, so I'm putting spring on hold for some summer dreaming. Here are some photos from last year's camping trip. Oh, and if you live near Boston this is amazingly thrifty get-away! It comes out to $20 for two night's of camping plus a few bucks for the harbor ferry. Not bad at all!

Eating dinner around an open campfire. Gazing at the city skyline across the water. Falling asleep to the sound of crickets, not city busses. It's wonderful.

REALLY Tiny Wallet Style- inside of our tent!

Don't you feel better just looking at this?

Ahhhhh. 

How-To: Get Out of the House!!

When you're living in Tiny Wallet land, it's easy to focus on the “can't” factor. I can't spend money= I can't do anything. We get around this by using a few thrifty tips to save us from a never-ending cycle of can't.
