Welcome!

I'm so glad you're checking out my blog!

Why did I start this blog?

Well, I've been making monthly menus for some time. Recently, one of my friends posted a question about my menu on my facebook wall. I was amazed by how many people started asking questions about it:

• Where do I get ideas for a menu?
• How does it work?
• Can I help them plan a menu, too?

I guess I hadn't realized that what I was doing was so out of the ordinary. But it created the thought of this blog. I also have people ask me all the time about yardsaling, and earning extra money online. 

Who am I?

My name is Jamie. I'm a full-time mom to 2 year old Emma and 10 month old Trevor. They bring so much joy to my life! My husband is an amazingly supportive, hardworking man. Dan works long hours so that we can provide for our family and to allow me to be at home with the kids.

I know a lot of people think that women who stay at home must just have husbands who make a lot of money-- not so! Well, I guess that might be the case for some women, but not me! 

I'm able to stay at home because we have budgeted (I know- bad word!) our money, and have cut back enough to live within our means. We have cut out all unnecessary spending. It's a sacrifice, but it's important to us.
