Ok, well it's been a few long months of readjusting on our parts!! We now are living at MM's house due to financial strain of CB's work program . EA is in 2nd grade now having difficulties as usual with her reading phonics , but it is times like this that I feel so lucky to be a SAHM . so hopefully in the next few days I can start updating what we have been doing and possibly some pictures!!!!!

Welcome, This Blog is an experiment, due to these economic times my family has only one income, well they say that in this day and age it is impossible to live comfortably this way. Well we are going to prove that it is not only possible, but that it can be comfortable too.

WOW I suck at writing
Hi again,
Well nothing new here really , money saving has proven to be quite difficult in a small town with out a printer!! We bought a Sunday paper this week, It covers 3 towns and there were no coupons in the entire thing!!! we have been collecting coupons from ALBERTSONS, but they are not the best , Also if you live near the fine state of Texas there is a store called HEB it is crawling with awsome coupons just hanging off the wall and shelves!!!! It is so worth driving from NM to TX to save that much ( if you are willing to fight the crouds)!!
well happy savings

Adventures!!!
Sorry it has Been so long since I have last posted this is a difficult habit to get into . We moved to a new town South of where we were we are exploring the wide world of tex-mex. How we wound up here is DH was offered a Union job at a decent starting wage. Originally DD and I were going to stay in our original home ,but the idea of paying double the rent in this day and age sent chills up my spine. So we are in our new location and have been settling in to a smaller space. We are currently staying in a 5th wheel travel trailer with not much storage. we have to drive 25 miles away for a decent grocery store. Alon with all this DD is going to a new school 1 month before school ends , she seems to enjoy it with some balking on her part daily. We have had her birthday celebration also I made a home baked cake I have not attempted a fully homemade cake since last year's birthday vacation fiasco. We are still looking to purchace a house and it may even be here for all we know. It is a quant cute little town with a public pool that has water slides. so lets see how much summer fun we can have on a budget. I know one thing we are not leaving out this summer home msde lemon aid and some sun tea!! It's supposed to be a hot one!!!!!
St. Patrick's day this year did not go as planned due to moving so I was not able to make my corned beef and cabbage with soda bread this year , Last year it had turned out so well too.
Easter is fast approaching and this year I am thinking old Mr.Cottontail may be bringing some cookies to DD , I wish I would have started this habbit ages ago I know money has basicly been flushed down the toilet for candy that is filled with additives and cheap little plastic toys for that imfamous baskit . Last year I know the rabbit went to Target because they carry more traditional wooden toys that don't break as easily. I know for a fact that ellusive Mr. Clause shopped there last year qand there is a yo-yo still hanging around the house, and it's not tore up at all.
Mine and Dh's 6 month wedding anniversary is coming up next month who knows what we will figure out.

Welcome
Hello,
My family would like to welcome you to our little adventure.
SO please allow me to give you some back details about my family. We are currently paying 1/3 of the rent in a 3 bedroom house that we share with a few too many relatives, we have 5 too few bathrooms. My husband earns too much money for us to qualify for state help, but not enough for all of our family to have health insurance. So why am I starting this story you may be asking yourself, well it has been said that no one can live off of one income any more, unless they are making a lot of money, I would like to disagree , back when every house had a stay at home mom they were able to stay that way because they were willing to scrimp and save, they had a motto " Fix it, Make it, Make do, or Do without" . So that is the motto our family is adopting! We are prepared to prove that any one can live on a single income budget comfortably .
Please Join us on our journey , and I hope you enjoy it as much as we are going to.
