Introducing myself...
I've lurked here for a very (embarrassingly) long time. I've gotten so many good tips and tons of great information from you all---thank you!
So I'd finally like to join in
I'm a 42-year-old sahm to a wonderful almost-12-year-old daughter, who I homeschool. She is a dancer, so I spend a lot of time at the studio. I'll actually be taking a beginning tap class myself, starting in January! Dh and I have been married for 20 years now, and we also have two crazy dogs---one a pit bull/lab mix and one a shepherd/who knows what mix (both rescues.)
I've always been pretty frugal, but there are times, like now while we're saving for a new-to-us car, that I need to be even more so. I'm a big Dave Ramsey fan....I don't always agree with his politics or his religion, but he changed my life for the better a couple of years ago, and we are now happily in BS6, paying extra on the mortgage each month.
I love photography, RVing (we have a vintage motorhome) and all things Disney. So that's me in a nutshell---I'm glad to finally come out and say hi to you all!

Aloha and welcome from Hawaii!!
