    Default New here!

    Hi,
    I'm Mary, and I'm very excited to have stumbled across this site. I really need to cut down on spending, and I am so excited about learning from all of you!

    I am a mom to 3, homeschooler, and I already do quite a bit frugally, like scratch cooking, cloth diapering, but need to cut down in lots of other areas, like impulse buying.

    Looking forward to chatting with everyone!

    Hi, Mary!

    I'm newly joined here too!

    How old are your kids? I have three boys, 13, 8 and 6! My 13yr old has Asperger's Syndrome....on the Autistic Spectrum. I admire homeschooling moms.....wish I had the ability to take charge of their education!

    I hear you on the impulse buying! That is where I am weak too! Honestly, though.....I need to cut down on everything. My kids have started thinking that ordering out(for dinner) is the norm.....and that whenever they ask, the money fairy just sprinkles out more of that lovely green stuff! It's my fault that they think the MAC machine is like the tooth fairy!!!!! I want to change that....their values....and most especially mine!

    Nice to meet ya!
    Barb
