What is your first name?
Emburrito
What are your kids’ names?
Bailey (4), Brooke (2), DJ (4.5 mo)
Were you ready for motherhood?
No, gotta say that Miss. Bailey was a surprise. I was busy working my way through school. But, I wouldnt change anything.
Have you ever met someone who has completely inspired you to be a better person? Can you tell us about that relationship and how it has affected you?
I have a lot of friends that inspire me and I try to be better at everything but I seem to have a bad habit of falling back to how I was before. lol
Do you have any nervous habits? What are they?
Biting my nails and bouncing my leg.
Did you ever date a guy your parents did not like? Were they right about him?
I wouldnt say I really 'dated' guys. lol I've only have a few real relationships. My parents are divorced and I lived with my mother while in High School. She pretty much let me do what I wanted... but I will say we had a very close relationship and I told her everything. If my Dad were around... Im sure he would have hated any guy I was around. But he loves Darren (my dh) so it all worked out.
What do you want your kids to remember the most about you?
My loyalty, how much I love them *no matter what*, how to be happy with what you have, not to care what others think, and how to have self respect
What did you learn the most from your mother?
Self respect, hard work, creativity, gratefulness
How many coupons do you use on a regular basis? What is your best money saving tip?
On average about 10 I would say. I use to be a cashier at Tom Thumb... and I would have these women come through my line with a $100 in groceries and leave only paying $5!!! I was shocked. Needless to say.. thats when I started clipping coupons. They work.
How did you find Mommysavers? Have you referred anyone here? Were you referred here?
I was on a yahoo frugal group and someone kept posting money saving links that came from ms.. so I checked it out and was hooked. I have NOT referred anyone to ms because its my secret hiding place.
Out of all the things the members here have offered in terms of advice, support, counsel and criticism, what have you personally benefited from? And do you remember specifically who the member was that offered that advice?

What do you see your children growing up to be like? What career path would they choose?
Bailey is crazy. I see her being on top of the world.. whatever she does she is going to be GOOD at it. She knows what she wants and gets what she wants. I think she's going to be extremely successful. Brooke.. I can see working with kids or animals.. she's such a nurturer. DJ.. I dont know yet.. his personality is just starting to come out.. if it was up to Daddy probably some kind of professional ball player. lol
Is there something we would never guess about you? Some kind or quirk you have no one close to you knows about. (C’mon tell us!!!!)
