    Default newbie here

    Hi-
    I googled "frugal" and came across ya'll. I am 37 and have been married for almost 9 years to a wonderful husband, Michael. This is a second marriage for both of us. He has 3 boys, and custody of all, ages 14,12,12-yep,twins. I have 2, boy (age 14) and girl (age 12). You really have to watch what you pray for- lol. With 5 kids, and I do claim his as mine, I need all the help I can get. Michael is self-employed and I am taking classes online for medical transcription and help him in the office. We have 4 outside dogs, a poodle in the house, 20 chickens (started out as a 4-H project), 2 pygmy goats and 6 cats. Well, I guess that is about it. Hope my intro wasn't too long. Can't wait to meet everyone!!!

    Hi and welcome.

    You have quite a house full.
    We only have 4 sheep, 1 chicken (started with 4 but 3 died), 10 ducks (are awaiting the ducklings), a dog and 3 parakeets.

    Oh yeah, and 2 children and a dh, lol
