Hi Lovies,
My story is a common one...one very busy morning as I dropped my crying children off at daycare and drove to the job I hated in tears hurrying to make sure I was on the sales floor on time I realized that this life was just not working for us!!!! I was standing in my uniform rushed off my feet, my right shoulder covered in something stinky ( a gift from my baby girl ) a smudge of someones breakfast on my skirt and my eye makeup more than a little worse for wear and in truth I had an Ah Ha!! moment.
It wasn't my job, my kids or my commute that were wrong it was how we were living in general. My husband and I were overextended emotionally, physically and financially. Hubby was working to pay the bills and I was working to pay for daycare and to fill our home with the best and shiniest things we didn't really need.
So we made a decision that not everyone in our lives enjoyed. I quit my job to stay home with our kids. We cut back, WAY back and we made choices on what was important to us. We got simple. 10 years later we have 3 happy children, a home based business, and a warm inviting lived in home.
We live comfortably on a small budget...and I have found some of the best recipes, techniques, ideas, and resources to fill our lives with little luxuries.
I've decided ( with some gentle pushing from my friends ) to open a window into my life...so follow my journey see what I find. What works and what doesn't and please feel free to email me with any ideas you want me to check out!!!
Luv ya,
E.
