Hello I am a 27 year old wife and mother of 2. I Have always had a frugal tendency but have had it get stronger since the birth of my first child. I have had the desire to tighten the wallet straps so to speak since the loss of my job about 18 months ago. I lost my job of 10 years when I was 6 weeks pregnant. Now in all honesty how many employers are fighting to get a pregnant woman on the team, so I started to trim up the finances first. As anyone in the same situation would do you cut non essentials. But I wanted to take it a bit further.
You see to me it is not enough to just be frugal. Saving money is important. But feeling poor and frumpy does a horrible number on your self esteem. So I decided to not just chop my budget, but to live a more fulfilling life while doing it. And so this blog will begin. I look forward to documenting this adventure with you.
