    Default Jumping back in..

    Hi everyone! I used to post here quite a bit a few years ago, but went to mainly lurking on occasion when I started back working full time due to DH's job loss. We are finally in a position of me possibly being able to come back home to stay with the kids within a few months, so I know I really need to get things back on track, and being here keeps me accountable. We have managed to pay off all our debt, other than our mortgage. So, I'm starting out in a decent place, just mainly want to get a good emergency fund set aside before I let my job go. I know all you here at Frugal Village will keep me in the "zone" lol.
