In January 2009, I made a resolve to change the way our household was spending money. Let's face it folks, times are tough. We love our lifestyle...not extravagant by any means, but comfortable.
In 2006 we were blessed with our first child, PMcK, who by the grace of God the Almighty above, was chosen for us through the spirit of adoption. Now let's fast forward almost three years. We have decided that PMcK needs a little brother or sister. We have decided that unlike the first route we took, we don't want to extend ourselves financially the way we did before. So we have decided, like many Americans, to dig ourselves out of the little hole we are in and start building the fund we will call "PMck's Little Bro or Sis Fund".
I have been blessed to have met a friend who is such an inspiration to me as a wonderful Christian mom, wife, and woman through PMck's friend at school WesMan. After following her story of breaking the chains of debt, I too got inspired. Daddy M and I want nothing more than for PMcK to have a little brother or sister, but we also don't want to over extend ourselves either. So after watching and reading in utter disbelief at how EM and other mom's were finding ways to cut cost, I jumped on the band wagon.
So this January, EM agreed to school a few of us in the world of CVS and couponing. We all met at our local Chik-Fil-A and the rest is history for me. This is my new found hobby which Daddy M does not mind at all because it isn't costing him money it is making him money! LOL! I am now stock piling (and will never again pay money for shampoo, razors, toothpaste, or basic medicines (advil, tylenol, excedrin, etc.), or high quality toliet paper (yes the really soft stuff)). I have learned to fill my deep freeze, cook crock pot meals that make enough to freeze and have for easy suppers, and so much more.
So follow me on my quest to squish the little bit of credit card debt and start building that "PMcK Little Bro or Sis Fund"!
