About Us

I am a stay at home mom with four wonderful kids. I have been married for over 10 years to my best friend. I am head over heels in love with him. He always supports my crazy "thrifty adventures". We have a lot of fun together.

I was raised on a small dairy farm. Where I learned very young, the value of hard work and how to be thrifty in all areas of life. Growing up our meals were made from scratch. Only on special occasion would we get name brand cereal, chips, or any other fancy treats. Now that I am a Mom with my own budget, the basic foods always comes first. I too make most of our meals from scratch and take pride in feeding my family a well balanced healthy diet.

I enjoy seeing how far I can make our budget stretch, and when I take the time to match sales with coupons I am able to get all those "fun & fancy" items that would other wise be out of my budget. Being thrifty has always been a way of life for me, but it has also become a real joy.

Witches brew????

IMG_2475Yesterday my 4 year old Mckeely had her preschool Halloween party.  They sang a few songs for the parents, and had a cute little party.  Her teacher read the kids a story that she wrote in collage.  The story was about a witch that wanted to make soup for dinner, and added all sorts of crazy things to the pot.  She let the kids all add an ingredient then stir the pot.  Or course she renamed all the food, like owl eyes, lizard claws, worms, and all sorts of other creepy items.  The kids LOVED it, they giggled with delight, and had even more fun eating the “witches brew”.

This was such a simple idea, but it was the highlight of the party.  If you have little ones at home, and are looking for a fun Halloween project you may want to give this a try.  Plus it is a great way to clean the pantry!
