My name is Julie and I am a stay at home Mom. My husband and I have 4 beautiful children and most months we are on a tight budget. We decided that with the rising cost of fuel prices and daycare I would stay home and my husband would work. We live about 30 miles to the nearest city, so in the long run we made the right decision even if we have to cut back a little here and there.

This site is a work in progress. Visit often and check out new entries. I hope that you enjoy the recipes and shopping tips.
