  • Hi!  I'm Wendi,  two boys ages 10 and almost 14. I'm a SAHM looking for nearly any way to cut back in order to keep being a SAHM!  I love finding ways to save (and I share what I learn in my blog).

  • Hi, I'm Emilie. I;m new here and love it! I have a 2 year old son and a almost 5 months old daughter. Saving money is a game to me. I just love to stretch each penny. I want to become dept free so that I can be a SAHM in a year. I'm on maternity leave right now but I have to go back to work soon and I dread it.bad

  • I'm Tammy.  I've been married to Mike for 13 years now and we have 2 kids who are currently 6 and 8.  My just-turned-18 yeard old niece lives with us, too.

    I've been trying to live frugally for a while, but this week I have amped it up since we are trying the Dave Ramsey way.

    **Tammy's Goals for 2009**
    1.  Lose 15 pounds. 10 pounds
    2.  Pay down debt substantially.
    3.  Paint the interior of the house.
    4.  Read the Bible daily.
    5.  Overcome the paper clutter.
    6.  Be firmer with Alicia on the homeschooling.

  • HI there!  I'm Michelle, single mom to 16 year old quads plus one 12 year old.  Clipping coupons, shopping second hand stores and finding deals are a part of life for us.  We may not have a lot of material things, but we have endless amounts of love, laughter and happiness! 

     

    Luke 6:37-- "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven."

  • Hello everyone, my name is Melia and I'm a wife of 16 years and a mother of 4 (two boys 12/11 and twine girls 7).

    I've been blessed to be a SAHM since my oldest was born, though now I'm looking for a job now because the cost of living is getting to us. 

    I currently work part time at the school (2hrs a day) during lunch (schools out for now).  I really can't call it a job because I get to be with my kids.  The school is great, they let me take time off when ever I need it and that helps when the kids have field trips.
