    Talking New from SW Washington

    Hi I guess I better introduce myself My name is Tamara and I have been married to hubby for 8yrs. We have 3 children, 2 boys and a girl (11, 5, 3) who we homeschool. I have been interested in living more frugally and self sufficiently for a while now and just haven't practiced it. Well now that the market has crashed and dh who is a mortgage broker hasn't gotten paid for 3 months...we have gone from one end of the financial spectrum to the other. It has forced to learn all I can and actually practice it Besides I beleive it is a very important part of being a home maker and managing my home...to live simply and teach my children the value of hard work and the value of money.

    I'm very excited to meet all of you and get started on this journey

    Hi Tamara,
    to Frugal Village!
    " May we never let the things we can’t have or don’t have or shouldn’t have spoil our enjoyment of the things we do have and can have. As we value our happiness, let us not forget it. One of the greatest lessons in life is learning to be happy without the things we cannot or should not have."
