Today I am in a very happy mood! I have 5 official days of work left and then I will be "back at home again...I just can't wait to get back at home again... (imagine if you will Willie Nelson singing)"
And so I am starting to also panic a bit.... just a bit. I know we will be fine but anytime things change it makes my heart skip a little with anticipation. I am trying to find ways to help save money. I have committed myself to cloth diapering (Note: if anyone has any they can donate I am willing to accept them!) and I am going to try my hardest to work with this baby to breastfeed. That in it's self should cut back on a lot of expenses most families incur with the costs of formula these days.
On my mission to find cheaper ways to live I came across a website called Recipezaar where I found what seems like to be a very neat and reasonably easy recipe for laundry detergent. I also came across a TON of clean out your fridge or pantry supper ideas and much more! If you know of a great site with money saving ideas please let me know! Have a wonderful weekend!

I admire your desire to want to be a stay at home mom. If you have to eat beans and rice 5 days a week, it will be worth it. I stayed home until Daniel went to school, and we had to be very thrifty. Sadly, we are still having to be very thrifty to pay off the education of 3 children! I always find saving money to be a game. I love the hunt for a bargain. If you have not tried the newest grocery store in town, Aldi, at Bessemer just below Walmart, then you need to try it. You can save a lot, and the stuff is great. They only carry a few brands, most are their brands, but their policy is if it is not as good as the national brand, they carry the national brand. We have fallen in love with the store. It beats Wally World. You even have to put a quarter in to get your buggy, and then when you return the buggy, you get your quarter back. Not one buggy in the parking lot. Bags are 5 cents for paper and 10 cents for super nice plastic with handles. You bring your bags back, or you can even bring Walmart bags in to sack your groceries!
