Welcome to my blog adventure of How Cheap Mama Cheats.... Well maybe I mean How Frugal Mama Cheats... or less scandalously, How Frugal Mama Saves Money.
Ok, I confessed it, I'm not a floosy or a cheater but I do love being frugal. Love it. I grew up that way and love the dozens of way you can save money, be green, and reduce waste. Some ideas may be just what you need or a even more of an inconvenience but either way, hopefully this will get you and your family thinking about new ways to save money and be green too.
I'll have some dirty little secrets to share along the way, and some to keep like names and locations, but check back often because who knows what I'll write next. I will try to maintain privacy of my friends and family; I hope you'll do the same. Please feel free to comment, disagree, send ideas, or share this with your friends, but please be respectful, I will delete anything that is not.
A few things about me you should know is that I am a wife, mother, and sister. We live far from our family but we are very close. My hubs and I are very adventurous but also very different personalities. We love the outdoors, exercise, and our amazing son. Sometimes the ideas I have are a stretch for some but can be worth while. I have been a retail supervisor and wedding coordinator so I certainly know what faced-paced work, all hours of the day is like. I can be a work-aholic but have been taking great strides to bring back and keep balance in my life and doing things that make me happy, not just fulfill a purpose. As much as I like having plans for anything and everything I do enjoy go-with-the-flow weekends where I don't plan a thing (ok besides keeping the diaper bag packed- thats a priority!)
Thanks for stopping by, I hope you enjoy my blog!
