This Side of Eternity is SO Back✨


Hey friend 💛

I’m starting something new… that actually feels a lot like something old.

Back when I first started blogging, I’d share it all—from messy mom moments and grocery store prayers to little life hacks that made things sweeter (and cheaper). My blog was called This Side of Eternity, and it was all about living well, spending wisely, and keeping our eyes on what really matters.

That’s why I chose to bring back the name for my brand-new Substack newsletter.

It’s a return to the kind of writing I’ve missed—personal, practical, and faith-filled. A place where I can invite you into my everyday life and share what’s working, what’s not, and where I’m seeing God’s hand in it all.

Chapter One: A New (Frugal) Adventure Begins by Kristie Sawicki🌻
Living well, spending wisely, and keeping eternity in view.

This newsletter is for women of all ages who want to live well, spend wisely, and sprinkle a little joy (and maybe Jesus) into the everyday.

If you’ve ever:
✔️ Reused foil or washed a Ziplock bag
✔️ Said a prayer before checking out at the grocery store
✔️ Felt stretched by your budget but still longed for a beautiful, meaningful life...

You're in the right place, friend. 💛

Whether you’ve been with me since the This Side of Eternity days or you’ve just joined the Saving Dollars & Sense community, I’d love to have you there.

This isn’t just a newsletter—it’s a sisterhood. A place to be encouraged and reminded that frugal doesn’t mean boring, broke, or less-than. It means creative, intentional, and hopeful.

Can’t wait to see you over there. New posts drop regularly, and each one is like a little love note for your wallet and your heart.

With love,
Kristie 🌻

P.S. I’m sharing my first Substack post: A New (Frugal) Adventure Begins.

Hey friend! I don’t know about you, but I am MORE than ready for consistent warm weather around here. 😂 It still isn’t quite as warm as I’d like it to be, but I’ll happily take all the sunshine we can get! ☀️ I’m planning to spend a little time outside today after I send you this email, soaking up the sunshine and enjoying some fresh air. I’ve got a few REALLY good deals to share with you today 🙌 But before we jump into today’s deals… I think my emails may be getting suppressed a bit lately....
