    Default New too!

    I am new to Frugal Village.

    I do not remember how I found this site. Last night in a quest to gather more info on being frugal and reducing debt, I think I stumbled on this site.

    I am married, and have 4 kids. A son who is 14 (and has Down Syndrome), a son who is 9, a daughter who is 4 and another daughter who is 3.

    I have 2 cats, Abby and Max, and a Basenji dog named Cleo.

    I keep busy with the kids and their scouts, dance, tae kwon do, soccer, basketball, school and bible studies.

    I am not the most computer literate person, and don't have a lot of time to spend on the computer. Usually I am on once or twice a week to check messages, and print out a grocery list.

    I am interested in all of the little challenges I have seen on the bottoms of messages. I have tried to find what they are, and am getting lots of good info about lots of other things, but not what I am looking for. Can anyone help?

    Thanks
    Heide
