A Little About Me

Hi, I'm Beth. Thanks to my husband of 20 years, I have the pleasure of being a stay-at-home Mom. With four kids - 3 teenagers and a preteen, our house can get a little crazy!

I am really big on couponing, being healthy and being green. But most importantly, I am totally all about living on a budget. We've distinguished clear boundaries when it comes to 'needs' and 'wants', set our limits on spending, and we stick to it. It's not that we don't allow ourselves any spending money at all, we're just smart about how much we allot for each week and when it's gone - it's gone! No dipping into anywhere else for more!

My kids really keep me on my toes! I've gone from the simpler days of diapering, potty training and bandaging 'boo-boos', to 'Soccer Mom/classroom volunteer/carpooling Mom' mode, to the more challenging times of navigating the complicated issues associated with teens - x4! I'm currently sailing into unchartered seas - my oldest son will be starting college in the fall, and along with that, a whole new set of issues and emotions that go along with it!

Maintaining my sanity hasn't always been easy, but by focusing on the big picture and allowing plenty of laughter to infiltrate our days, life in our little corner of the world has been quite amazing.
