Something that causes me stress

Just Mercy book.

My opinion has changed about:

How I feel about my career

February 17, 2021

stack of books

The technical definition of career is: “An occupation undertaken for a significant period of a person’s life and with opportunities for progress.” I suppose in some ways, I have a career in mothering and in homeschooling. (Please note: the definition does NOT say you have to be paid in a career!) The homeschooling career is…

Someone who values my opinion

February 16, 2021

Elise and Kristen

Hmm. My children do sometimes value my opinion, depending on the day, the kid, and the topic at hand. Mr. FG values my opinion (ok, this is also depending on the topic. He probably wouldn’t value my opinion about the IT stuff he does, because I know nothing about it!) I know there are blog…

Something I’m really good at

February 15, 2021

bike

This one is a double-edged sword, but here it is: I’m good at doing things quickly and efficiently. I read fast, I cook fast, I clean fast, I walk fast, I listen to podcasts fast (double speed!), I fold laundry fast, and so on. Slow is not the name of my game. This is good…

A color I love right now

February 11, 2021

Magnolia paint colors

This is a funny question for me because I am not a very colorful person. (Sonia, on the other hand? ALL OF THE COLORS.) But maybe if I had to choose one, it would be a warm, autumn-palette type of green. And this is not so much because I think it is the most beautiful…

Five people who deserve a thank you

February 10, 2021

mailbox with the flag up

There is no way for this list to be exhaustive; just gonna do five random choices! Trash/recycling pickup people Mr. FG and I see these guys every week while we are out for a walk, and we often think of what a tough job they have. They’re out in all sorts of weather, lifting heavy…

When I’m stressed, I need:

February 9, 2021

sleeping tuxedo cat

I think my answer to this is a reflection of the more introverted side of me. Or it could be a reflection of my current circumstances. Or it could be because of the type of things that usually stress me out. Whatever the cause, when I’m stressed, it helps me to be left alone. That…

My strongest professional skill

February 5, 2021

Mac laptop

I think the answer to this is the same as my answer to many other questions: consistency. My steady-plodding abilities are extremely useful in multiple areas of my life, and professional life is one of them. I was a dependable, on-time, hard-working employee at Nordstrom. I was a consistent, dependable piano teacher. I was a…

A dream I have

February 3, 2021

Honda Civic

How about a dream purchase I have in mind? I have had decent, reliable cars for the whole time I’ve been driving, but I have never chosen a car based purely on what I want in a car. Practical factors (price! how many people can it carry?) have always been the driving force. But when…

What’s Kristen Prompted?

It’s me, writing from a list of daily prompts!

Although I always have a lot going on in my head, those thoughts can tend to stay cooped up in my brain.

But when I’m asked what I think about something, then I feel like I have permission to let some of my thoughts out.

So, this blog is a collection of daily essays, written because the list of daily prompts gave me permission to type. 😉

My main blog is The Frugal Girl, if you’d like to read more of my words!
