Hello!
Hi! I am so glad to have found this place! I am a stay at home mom, with three wonderful kiddos, two of which are homeschooled. The third is too young. Trying to make it on one income has its challenges, ones that I didn't see when I was younger and my mom stayed at home. My husband is always telling me that I need to find ways to save money, that's my job (along with keeping house and such). So, here I am, ready to learn. I have already learned to start cooking at home, something that rarely happened growing up. I am always on the look out for recipes! We bought an Excalibur Dehydrator, which arrived yesterday. I am so excited to try it!
Anyway, that's me. Maybe too much information for the introduction, but hey, I am excited!

Travel light. The baggage of the past can only hold you back.

Bank of America is THE godfather of Hell with Wells Fargo running neck and neck. When the world ends the only things that will be left are cockroaches, Walmart, Wells Fargo and Bank of America. Not necessarily in that order. The order remains to be seen.
