Living better, spending less.
My name is Kisha, and I am married to Magnus. We have one child, a little girl named Evelyn, who was born in May 2007.
I’m a stay-at-home mom right now. In my former life, I was a programmer for a state agency. I miss that sometimes, but I’m mostly just really happy to have the chance to be home with my baby. Our original plan was for me to go back to work when Evelyn was just a few months old, but in the end, I couldn’t do it.
Being home means that money is tighter than it used to be, but I’ve also learned an awful lot about how to stretch a dollar and be more creative with the funds that we do have.
I do other stuff besides shop recreationally. :) I have a handful of web projects that I tinker with occasionally, I cook and sew and knit and tat and read and blog (not at the same time!) I also spend about sixteen thousand hours a week trying to get my kid to sleep, but that’s another story..
When I became a stay-at-home-mom, I promised I could save our family money by shopping sales and maybe even using a few coupons. I had no idea what I was getting into. These days, I am on a first-name basis with the cashiers at the local drugstores, I haven't paid for toothpaste or shampoo in over a year and I spend my free time here, helping others do the same. So please, make yourself at home while you learn how to save, and when to spend!
