Staying at home with my daughter has always been rewarding. Seeing her milestones, and little strange and comical expressions keep me going. Thanks to my loving husband who can provide for our family and let me stay home. I sometimes miss making and spending money like I used to, but I have grown to like staying at home, making a list and sticking to a budget when doing the grocery, and thinking up new ways to save. Being at home taught me how to make things instead of buy them.
I'm researching more now, and learning more than I ever have. It's kind of because I have to, but I like it. I'm challenged on how to fit things in a budget, how to make my own convenience food, how to sew, how to manage a house. I'd never been the one to decide how a household runs before.
I have baby number 1, turning 4 next week, and another one on the way in possibly 3-4 weeks. I'm going to challenge myself this year by homeschooling our first. Patience bucket, please stay full for the duration of the school year.
How I will handle breastfeeding and homeschooling, I will just have to see. I prefer this to shuttling my daughter to school and having the leave a newborn at home.
My search for the best quick recipes that make everyday cooking something to look forward to. I'm a mom of two, who is on the lookout for a bargain. I want simple meals and simple things that wow.
