I am but a small drop in the bucket!

For me, my husband, and children, all that I do is worth it! But for you I question myself. There are so many of us Frugal Minded folks out there. I do it first for me and my family. I feel like my blog is my personal journal of how I do it. I enjoy my journey. I am not just about grocery coupons. That is a major part of it. But, it is so much deeper than that. I have long since giving up the idea that I will get some major sponsor that will pay me millions of dollars to spotlight them. I enjoy what I do. Some ideas are to precious to share while others are common knowledge. I work hard for a stay at home mom. I would say I am a working full time stay at home mom.

I have a large stockpile of food and work on my resources daily! I love to recycle and garden. Canning is a source of therapy for me and most people think I am nuts to do it. I make candy from scratch like popping a batch of store bought cookies in the oven is normal to you making things from scratch is normal to me. I am a homesteader. Most of you if not all of you don't know I have chickens. LIVE chickens!

Here is a list of the books I am reading that are on my nightstand.

• Flee Market Style


• The Backyard Homestead


• Home Preserving Made Easy


• The Self-Sufficient Life


• Square Feet Gardening


• Great America Home Baking


• Urban Farm


• Two Other Personal Friends Cookbooks

My kitchen counters consists of the following:

• Two Food Dehydrators


• Pressure Cooker


• Bread Machine


• Kitchen Aid


• Bag full of 15 pounds of gleaned pecans to put up


• bowl of fruit


• toaster


• and a book shelf full FULL of cookbooks

My office are has:

• two printers


• two tables


• hundreds of pounds of coupons


• I was not kidding about that

My bedroom:

• Let's just sum up and say my husband and I sleep in the "store" room!

Hope this helps you know a little more about how and why I am so frugal and deep minded about it. Have a great day!
