my intro
Hi everyone,
My name is Samantha but everyone calls me Sam. I live in Southeastern MN. I run a daycare with a friend of mine and we care for 14 kids on the daily basis. I have a 7yr old princess and a 11yr old prince. I have a bichon Frise furbaby and happily married for 8 years.
I am getting tired of having to live paycheck to paycheck and am trying to come up with ways for me to save money and still provide for my family and still have money in the bank so I am looking for any suggestions I can get. I am open to anything and everything.
I look forward to getting to know all of you on this journey of mine.
Sam
