I seriously thought and thought about a name for my blog. I thought of a few names that I thought were catchy but similar versions of them existed. I had to analyze what I wanted to be my focus. I knew I wanted it to be centered around being frugal and savings but also sharing natural and organic deals without using those words. Although I intended to share more deals than I am currently, I wanted it to be broader than just savings, as I wanted to share lifestyle changes, up-cycling, crafts, recipes and so much more as well.
There are many versions of Frugal Green Mom out there, so I gave it more thought. As much as I wish I could say we are 100% green, we are not 100% but live as green as we can given the circumstances, hence how the “Greenish” came along.
I am a frugal person, I get that from my Mother. I am a Mama to two little ones. I love trying to live in a green way so it all fell together, The Frugal Greenish Mama. It really is a telling title as to who I am.
From one frugal mama to the next! 🙂 My blog is named Frugal Foodie Mama, lol. We also try to live as green as possible. I moved back to my small hometown after 8 years of living in the “big city”. Funny that I found it easier to live greener in a large city than I am living in a small town. There were more opportunities to buy local, my recycling bin was bigger than my garbage can then too! Now I have what equates to a small storage bin for our recycling. Looking forward to following along with you.

Carrie, I totally agree about it being harder in a smaller rural town, but not impossible. There are so many more options in larger cities even with respects to recycling. Funny, we don’t even have trash pick-up let alone recycling pick up where I live. We haul it to town every couple of days as Hubby has a huge pick-up bin where he works. I will be sure to check out your blog!
Love your blog! I’m also *trying* to be greener and hope to get some good tips from your blog!
I love the name. It’s funny because not 10 min ago I was just thinking the same thing. That I try to live as green as possible while still having a modern lifestyle. Thanks for the word “Greenish” I’ll be using it a lot. But not in my blog title I promise. 🙂
