The Frugal Girl

JANUARY 22, 2024

I’m fifty years old, married almost 25 years, with four sons of various ages ranging from all grown up to still-working-on-it. ? For 20 or so years I’ve been homeschooling my kids, and am now down to about 1 1/2 (one full-time homeschooler, and one doing College Credit Plus with some support).

I had been at my previous job for 17 years (straight out of college) and it had turned into a very toxic situation. My son has a job at a local pizza place and he gets a free meal after every shift. I’d send some to my nieces to help with their college expenses and would donate half to our local food pantry.

My degree is in mechanical engineering, but I’m just starting a transition to nursing – before I got pregnant with my son, I was working as a nursing assistant while my husband finished grad school, and planning to go on to nursing school. For me, being in the kitchen and making food for people is an act of love.
