    Default Hello from Minnesota!

    Hello!

    I have been poking around this site for just a day and am already blown away by the awesome ideas I've found! This is the first time in a long time that I've found tips I'd never heard before.

    I'm Emilie, a 30-year-old SAHM of two. I am passionate about living frugally. My goal is to spend nothing on, well, everything! I haven't quite figured that out yet but I consider every penny saved a victory.

    Thanks so much - I'm looking forward to being a part of a great site.
