Living frugal, family-style:

@USDANutrition Why can't I access the monthly cost of food reports? The webpage has been down for a week now...

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

@kat_boogaard Oh man. That reminds me of the first article I submitted to a client without my husband looking over it first. It seemed so scary at the time! 😂

@Budgetdog_ Thanks for the shoutout, Brennan! Hope this helps some of your followers! :)

Thanks for the shoutout, @commiegirl1! Homegrown Hillary is there with you, cooking all the random stuff in the back of the freezer & pantry. :)

#JournoRequest Looking for companies that offer freebies, discounts, or other perks for good student report cards, perfect attendance, etc. TIA!

@mariabestwest @kat_boogaard Pillowy tummies is my new favorite postpartum descriptor. Thanks!

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

@kat_boogaard Ha! I was full-on committed to becoming a doula before I had my second child. And then– about 8cm dilated– I thought, "Nope. Nope, nope, nope." And now I'm in this freelance writing career 😂

1. A writer
2. English
3. A mom & writer

Hey, thanks! Today kinda sucked, but I basically live my childhood dream every day. So that's a nice reminder. (Never thought there would be so many Cheerios or diaper changes as a writer, though.)

Did your work life go as planned?

Mine certainly didn’t.

For fun, answers these 3 questions:

1. When you were a kid, what did you want to be when you grew up?

2. What did you study in uni/college?

3. What do you do for work today?

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

On Twitter for the first time in months because THAT'S where my procrastination levels are at on this article due Saturday.

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

@kat_boogaard Ahhh! So precious! Way to go! Enjoy all the bonding and good luck with the sleeping/feeding/keeping the tiny human alive. :)

@WB_Baskerville Hey hey! I live the next town over from Kennebunk. Hope they enjoy trekking through Hoth...

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

@WB_Baskerville Hubby got his degree in Philosophy and is constantly banging his head against his desk at the poorly-communicated emails, texts, and messages from the other guys in his IT company. It's a real problem.

Excited to have my first piece with @TheWaysToWealth go live today! https://t.co/xqssSi94Mm

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

Got to chat with the lovely @mirelzee about quitting my old, safe job and the financial footwork it took my family to get there. Also, we appear to have the same dad 😂 https://t.co/np2jdhtnVM

Wondering how much a home birth costs? We just finished doing some research for you: https://t.co/xxNUNUVAAQ

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

@kat_boogaard I wrote a piece about the "best soaker hoses" on Amazon. It took me HOURS while juggling a newborn. And I was embarrassingly happy with my $50.

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

Thinking about trying a #NoSpendNovember this year? I shared some tips from my successful no-spend month with @theblaxpat from @BHG this week: https://t.co/m54kp9iOnG

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

@PrisBlossom I assumed it would be easy to make friends as a mom. You have so much in common with other people, you see these other parents frequently, etc.

Maybe it's been due largely to COVID or polarization, but it has been SO. DARN. HARD. The loneliness is crushing.

Need some advice on budget gardening? @MiaTaylorWriter covers it all with some tips and tricks from https://t.co/3HtUffdknw: https://t.co/Yr2MsRUhsI

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

@kat_boogaard Also, as a mom to a 2 year old and 9 month old who's still trying to run a freelance business- yes. Yes to all the exhaustion. Thanks for the reminder. :)

[Hillary Swetz @HillarySwetz]

@kat_boogaard I am so *bad* at staying up to date on Twitter. Congrats, Kat!! Totally missed that announcement from a month ago.
