Occupation:

I worked as a teller at a bank before my first son was born. Then before my second son was born I worked part time as a flower designer at our local flower shop. Now I'm a sahm.

 

If I had a day to myself...

I would relax in the tub, watch a movie all the way through, and catch up with some phone calls to my friends.

 

Money Saving Tips:

Making a menu of what we'll eat for the next 2 weeks and take that list when I go grocery shopping. That way I'm not buying just anything I see.

 

Bargain Hunting Strategies

I love to shop at Kohl's and Children's Place for deals. You can't beat the clearance racks. Also, I like to buy shorts on the clearance rack for next summer. I never worry about not having enough clothes for my boys this way.

 

Products we can't live without:

Wet wipes are a must...we use them for everything! Also, Goldfish crackers are right up there with milk in our house.
