Welcome!

I'm a young homemaker learning how best to use the funds at my disposal. I have a wonderful husband who looks hard for his check and sacrifices much to do so. We recently purchased our first home and are thoroughly enjoying our little patch of heaven. Which is overrun by 2 dogs, 5 cats, and an adorable house bunny known as monkey butt. We buy things at garage sales, thrift stores, discount retailers, heavily clearanced merchandise with the occasional full price splurge. I try and make things at home, and am learning how to sew. I hope to write mainly about our life, our choices and joys. So expect lots about frugality, animals, and cooking!
