I am a lawyer that has converted to mediator. I work in the areas of divorce, workplace conflict and child visitation modifications. I work with people that are more likely to come to an agreement. I also draft pro se divorce documents. I love my work and love the flexibility I have to volunteer in the classrooms of my kids, make play dates and take my kids to their various activities!!
The firm I work for does some family law and I know we have one case that we’re going to try to schedule mediation for soon. I’d love to recommend another FLNW reader so email me your business info at royale@davis-lawoffice.com if you’re interested in referrals! Thanks!
Hello! My family and I just got back from the Portland Expo Center where we supported MANY small businesses who have set up booths there for the Christmas Bazaar. It’s great to get ornaments, toys, food stuffs and most of the booths are local small businesses.

Hi! I have a home based business as an independent consultant with Cookie Lee Jewelry. Cookie Lee is a line of affordable, high quality fashion jewelry that is sold exclusively through independent consultants like myself. Being a consultant with Cookie Lee has allowed me to basically be a stay at home mom for the past 9 years, yet I still am able to contribute to our family income and treat my husband to a fabulous all inclusive Dream Getaway Trip that I earn each year. To see the jewelry (and maybe do some Christmas shopping!) or find out more about a Cookie Lee business for yourself, visit my website.
PS: Here’s a Frugal tip for you: did you know if you have an American Express card you can register it to receive a $25 statement credit when you spend $25 or more with a participating business on Small Business Saturday?
A big shout out to the Pacific Hazelnut Factory in Aurora, Oregon! Went and used my AmEx card and spent $25.00 and will receive that back in a statement credit! Yum!

I want to give a shout out to Sante Mama in Vancouver, WA. They are such a wonderful small business owned by women who truly care about the moms they work with. If you need anything baby related, they are the ones to go to (and provide a discount for low income moms)! They also donate their space and time to Bras2Moms, a program I run that provides free nursing bras and tanks to moms who cannot afford them.

Hi! I don’t really have a “business,” per se, but I do have a very large collection of Margaret Furlong Christmas ornaments that I am currently selling for the holidays.

My e-mail address is http://www.treasuresfromthesea@frontier.com. Thanks, Frugal Living NW!
I’ve seen those 5 smiling, innocent faces somewhere before. It wasn’t on the Post Office bulletin board, was it?
Hi! My name is Amanda and I work for an amazing, mom-run and privately owned website called Sharing Spree! We’re in Portland, Seattle, Nashville and Birmingham, along with dozens of national website-based small businesses. While our goal is to promote and support small businesses and local non-profits, we are proud to be one too! Two cheers to Frugal Living for all of your support and great post! Small businesses fuel our economy!
I love all of the great deals I’ve gotten on Sharing Spree! I have gotten SO spoiled with the deals I’ve gotten to Cinetopia – I hate to go anywhere else! PLUS I love that I get to make a donation to my favorite charity with every purchase
I LOVE sharing spree! Have made several purchases and also have received sharing spree credits, making future purchases free or low-cost. Even used $15 credit + $4 of my own money to get $45 sharing spree credit a few months ago, then used $33 of that credit to buy 3 oil changes and tire rotations.
I am a busy mom of 3 with another on the way! I’m also a one mom shop to Bliss Baby Designs! I have a plethora of products from jewlery to kid accessories! Use the code ALITTLEBLISS20 to save 20% on your entire purchase! Thank you for buying local and supporting handmade!
