    Smile Hello From Cathy in Ontario

    Hi everyone. I've been reading posts here for a while until I figured out how to join in. I'm not very good with computers so I appologise in advance for any mistakes! I'm looking forward to being part of this friendly community and learning from you all.
    Here's the questionaire:

    How did you hear about frugal village?

    I read about it on another frugal page but can't remember where, sorry.

    What interests you here?

    Learning to live more frugally, simply and debt-free. Making some like-minded friends.

    Do you know any other members here?

    No.

    How many kids? Ages?

    I have three boys, 6yrs, 9yrs, 12 yrs.

    Tell us about yourself.

    I'm married with three boys, a dog and a cat. I run a daycare out of our home. I have four families on my books, a total of 10 children. Only one of those is full time so they are never here all at once. Some for lunch, some before/after school etc. This is the biggest area in which I need to cut costs. They never stop snacking!

    I'm also doing university courses towards a BA - in my spare time (Ha!).

    Do you own any pets?

    A chocolate lab and a cat

    SAHM or Working mom?

    Both

    Married or single?

    married 15 yrs.

    Interests and hobbies?

    Familiy activities. The outdoors/nature/gardening etc. Reading, writing, poetry, cooking, and many more I don't have to time to do but I'll get to "one day". I squeeze in some volunteer work when I can.

    Thanks for listening and have a super day wherever you are. Are there many Canadians here?
