    Hi and welcome to FV.

    Are there any specific areas that you'd like more information about? I became a stay at home mom 6 years ago and it was quite an adjustment for me. I hadn't really even cooked much before that point. Here I am a few years later and I have yet to come across a cooking question that someone couldn't answer here. CJ even taught me to bake bread by hand instead of my bread machine. Who knew it was so easy!

    Do you have children at home? Is it the transition of work to home? Details details.

    There are a lot of members here to offer so many tidbits of information. Just let us know in what aspect you think you may want some input.

    In the meantime, cruise around the forums and you'll find information divided under forum categories.
    If you'd like to help support Frugal Living by Sara Noel, my syndicated column, e-mail, write, or call the managing editor at your local newspaper and ask them to publish it in print or online. It's internationally syndicated through Universal Uclick. Thank you for supporting Frugal Village.

    I am a mom to three sons, 7,3, and 18 months. I like to quilt and cross-stitch. Usually I don't have time though.

    Somedays I have a hard enough time finding a chance to shower.

    Hi and welcome to the village. I do understand about the "finding time to shower". Where do all the hours in a day go? I work pt and still can't find enough time to get things finished. Feel free to just jump right in. The village is full of friendly folk.
