Occupation: Nurse- I work in the newborn nursery at the hospital. I work nights
or weekends so that the kids are always with one of us.
If I had a day to myself...: Sleep!!! And maybe get a massage.
Money Saving Tips: Don't buy what you can live without. Stay home....If you don't go
shopping you can't spend any money. I also don't always buy in bulk. I
look at the unit price at the grocery store. A lot of the time the
smallest container is actually the best bargain.
Bargain Hunting Strategies: Target end caps. (but don't buy
what you don't need) I also watch Old
Navy, Gymboree,
Gap Kids, and Marshalls for great sale
items.
Products we can't live without: Reagan's baby papasan swing. My Kodak digital camera. Waterbabies
sunscreen.
In the Kitchen: Every couple of weeks I make a huge pot of pinto beans. We have
rice/beans/cornbread for dinner. I blend up leftover beans for
breakfast bean and cheese tacos. I use some of the beans the next night
to make Chili, the following night a bean casserole and I use some to
sprinkle on a salad.
Organization: Right now I am in the throw everything out mode. With 5 kids space
is a premium. I use every available space including underbed storage
for toys.
No
matter if you're a working mom, a stay-at-home-mom;
