Rise and Shine is my way of sitting down and having a cup of coffee with you! We talk about the new deals of the day, highlights from yesterday, and anything else that might help us save time, money or energy. Published Monday through Friday – as I’m able.
Good morning! How is your day going so far? Last night was GORGEOUS here in the Pacific Northwest. Sunshine and warm temps made if feel like a mid-summer day. The kids, who were so patient this weekend during our garage sale, were eager to get out and ride their bikes.
I grilled up a bunch of veggies that I picked up last week from QFC on markdown – yes, they were still good! We had diced butternut squash, brussels sprouts (halved) and mushrooms – all grilled up and served with chicken sausage. It was inexpensive and hit the spot. The last few times I’ve roasted brussels sprouts in the oven the smell seemed to linger for a couple days – so I really prefer grilling them – I think it tastes better, too. We are out of bread and milk and bananas – and a lot of other staples so I’ll be headed to the grocery store today.
Yesterday I shared another downsizing update – sharing the details of our EPIC garage sale this weekend. We made a whopping $3,280.88. It was crazy good and I’m so grateful! Garage sales are a lot of work, but they can be worth it – especially if you need to create an emergency fund or pay off some debt – downsizing can be a great way to earn extra cash!
Thank you to everyone who entered the giveaway for a Great Wolf Lodge $300 gift card! I announced the Great Wolf Lodge winner last night – Heidi has already responded to my email to claim her prize and she can’t wait to take her three kids. Congrats, Heidi!

What will become of your chickens?
Heather Clarke says
Great question, Debbie. We recently found them a new home out on a big farm in the Steamboat Island area. We miss them but they won’t be able to come with us when we move.
Marisa says
Just wanted to share again how inspiring it is to see your downsizing journey. I also love to see what you have done with your grocery deals. We, too, have had some taco salads recently as inspired by your posts and for several weeks we have been selling off many items in our overly crowded home. We have not made as much money as I had hoped but we have made a little to help with some recent purchases and it feels good to be getting a little cash from things that have been unused for a long time.I have found that the biggest challenge with downsizing is letting go of some of the emotional attachments to things esp for my husband. I had an esp hard time with my daughter’s things. Thanks again for sharing your journey!
Heather Clarke says
Marisa – So glad that our downsizing journey has inspired you. It is liberating to let go of items and see uncluttered spaces around my home. It’s great that selling items can help offset the costs of other things – many people have things just sitting around that they can turn into savings in the bank – or to use to pay down debt. Every bit counts! The emotional part is hard – maybe stick with the non-emotional items first and then see how you feel. 🙂
We had taco salads again tonight – heehee – so easy to pull marked down turkey meat out of the freezer the night before and cook it up, with lots of toppings. 🙂
