Saving SAHM Sanity

JANUARY 2, 2013

Well, 2012 was a very bad year for my family. But anyway, this is how I did: Save $1,500 by using coupons and $3,500 by shopping sales: I spent 9 out of the last 12 months being a full time Honors college student, I didn't have much time to coupon. We struggled with many things and even had two close loved ones pass away.

I still enjoy setting goals, but knowing I'll be in school full time from the end of January-May, then again from September-December, I'm keeping my goals simple-ish. This year I'll be doing the 2012 in 2012. Meaning I'll try to purge 2,012 unwanted items in the year 2012. Be physically active for 15 minutes a day.

“ Did you know that in 2014, women working full time in the United States typically were paid just 79 percent of what men were paid, a gap of 21 percent?” All of these things take time, each and every day, out of the adult’s schedule. The gender pay gap is alive and well – but why?

Since Noah is half Jewish and half Baptist/Cuban it’s important for him to learn about both cultures and since he’s not with us full time I have a lot to teach him! Available in time for the 2012 holiday season, Get Cooking!

I wouldn’t qualify it as embarrassing, given the time period, but we lost our entire downpayment on the first house we bought. My kids are able to bike to school and activities – my son even bikes to the airport where he takes flight lessons. They had me, and then my mom decided to go back to school full-time and get a PhD.
