Investing in Our Children Produces Great Rewards

When I think of Thrifty Mommy’s slogan of “a cool mom finding more for less”, I think of the investment each of us can make in our children.  It doesn’t cost us a penny to spend time with them, but it does cost us (in many ways) to not spend time with them.

Hats off to single parents

Now that DH is back in town, I can honestly say that I was not made to be a single parent. I had a ball with my kids but I didn’t get as much done as I would have liked to have gotten done.  So to all you single parents out there fighting to […]

Cinderella

Part of being thrifty is knowing how to spend my time and money wisely. The whole tragedy with Steven Curtis Chapman has broken my heart. I can’t imagine what that family is going through. My DH and I have talked about how we would react to such a tragedy. I can’t imagine […]

Can’t win for losing

Looks like I will be having surgery soon.  We are at my mom’s and my carpal tunnel is HORRIBLE!  As I am typing, my hand is completely numb.  Guess I will have to find another source of income as I really don’t have enough vacation time for a 6 week absence.  I hate being so […]

For our mothers on Mother’s Day

I have been blessed with 4 very special mothers. Each has raised me in their own unique way. So to my Grandma, Mom, Momma V, and my MIL, I want to thank all of you. This might sound a little strange, but you each have given me more than you know.

Coupons could have saved my family’s life - literally

Just thought I would tell you a divine intervention story that happened to me today.  This afternoon, I was running errands with my kids and needed to stop by the grocery store really quick to get some baby food before getting home by 3 pm for a conference call.  I was headed to the store […]

My grandmother passed away

I will be somewhat absent for the next few days as my grandmother has passed away.  Please forgive me for not posting anything new other than what is already in the works.  I will have extremely limited Internet access in the country!
