I have been a stay at home mom for almost 7 years now. I have tried to go back to work a couple of times, but nothing has made me as happy as staying home with my three girls, and watching them learn, and grow and litstening to them laugh. They have also driven me completely insane, want to pull out all my hair, bang my head against the wall, and cry. It truely is the hardest job, but anything of worth always is hard.
My goal for this blog is to give other moms and anyone else a place to get ideas to try new things help keep ourselves and kids busy and happy!
We all are on a tight budget, im happy that the rest of the world finally caught up to my way of life! We have been penny pinching to survive for 8 years. My first peice of advice is to buy a ton of frozen veggies. This a great resource for so many things. You can add them frozen into ground meat, to not only sneak in veggies, which is always a battle, but also to strech the meat. By adding two bags of frozen veggies to one Lb of meat you can double the meat, for about $2 extra. When i do this i also pull one over on my kids, they think they win a battle when i feel as if i can negociate the extra veggies on their plate. Get the chopped veggies, so you can save yourself time, you can add them in with fresh veggies anywhere, or throw them on a baking sheet with a few of your favorite spices.
