About

MomThis is my mom.

My mother is my inspiration. Like me, she is an engineer, but she is also an expert seamstress, a florist, a handywoman, an interior designer, and baker extraordinaire. She’s all around fantastic.

I’m a twenty-something graduate student in the Boston area. I love dinner parties, traveling, baking, movie soundtracks, quotations, and my snuggie. I own too much china. I rarely ever buy anything at less than 25% off. I don’t have a ton of money, but I don’t think that means I can’t do the things I want to do. I started this blog to share my experiences with others. If you are a grad student, twenty-something, post-doc, or just plain frugal, I welcome you here!
