Cheap thoughts

I made a decision a few years after college in my first “career” that I needed a change. I dropped out of law school and left my job at a non-profit agency to waitress at Baker’s Square while getting an associate’s degree in dietitics. Does that sound like the act of a lunatic?? Luckily for me no one in my family ever questioned me or made me feel bad about these decisions.

I always knew I wanted to be a mom and I knew I would stay at home and bake brownies until they went to first grade. But now here I sit working full time for $6 less an hour than my husband that works a factory job. I would not change these decisions because without them I would not have my husband or our sweet little girl but I do want more.

I’m in the process of cutting my working hours to spent more time home. I have taken out dozens of books from the library on budgeting and cooking on a tight budget. H0wever, I couldn’t find any blogs on this subject so with the encouragement of a new friend I'm branching out and starting a new blog. Come visit me at http://cheapthoughtsbyjgrutzie.wordpress.com/ I look forward to sharing my thoughts and recipes with you, and getting your ideas in return. Now let’s pinch some pennies and make some delicious meals.
