A little about me...I'm a 25 yr old Momma of two beautiful girls and wife to the best man I've ever known. We've been married for 5 years and together since highschool. (No, we weren't highschool sweethearts, we just happened to go on a date the week before I graduated and have been together ever since). I am a temporarily retired dental assistant and loved my job....well loved my work. I'll just put it that way.
I became a SAHM in March of this year. My husband and I just had our second daughter and, like alot of families lately, after crunching the numbers it was ideal for me to stay home full time. We decided that we could make changes in our home to save us money and I could in turn save us the expenses of putting two kids in daycare. We cut it close every month but I think it is worth the sacrifices to stay home with my girls.
Of course, the point of this blog is to share what I have learned....and I don't JUST mean the recipes I'm learning for laundry soap and dish detergents. I'm talking about what I'm learning about this "sacrifice." Because to me....its not been a sacrifice at all. (Im actually having fun with it.) In theory, it sounds like its going to be a big change and I'm afraid one of these days I'm going to come up with another "alteration" and my husband is going to tell me I have went off the deep end. After all, when it was just us we spent our money on whatever we wanted and made enough trash for three families. And now we are making household cleaners and using cloth diapers and cloth napkins and recycle everything. But anyhow, like i said....it doesnt feel like sacrifice. I love it...I feel more like a Mom; a homemaker. I'm not as green as I'd like to be but we are getting there. This blog will be my journey, and hopefully your journey too, to making our world a happier, healthier place all while being quite thrifty...
and being thriftee is pretty niftee!
