Newbie from Upstate NY

mamaof3kiddies · **Newbie from Upstate NY**

Hi everyone -- I just joined Mommysavers! I'm a SAHM to 3 kids (6 1/2, 5 and 2 1/2), we live in Upstate NY. My dh works for UPS so his (and my) days are long! I'm really starting to live life more frugally, living green and paying down debt. I am 2 weigh in's from making lifetime with Weight Watchers (have lost 30lbs in 7 months). I look forward to getting share ideas, recipes, and learn from you all.

Have a great night!

Debi :happy dance:

Hello and welcome!
What part of Upstate NY are you from? I grew up in the Thousand Islands, on the Canadian side. The U.S border is like 25 minutes from my parents' home.

Hah! We lived in Troy right after we were married, then moved to Ballston Lake, then Latham. My husband worked at the what was new corporate exec park off of I-90.

Oh, the days!! We left back in '87 for the warm part of the USA.

How funny is that!! I know exactly where you are talking about. I do like the change of seasons here in NY but about 2-3 weeks into that change of season, I'm looking to head out!!!

I saw you went to St. Rose - I'd forgotten about that! I took some courses for awhile at Sienna in Loudonville.

The drive up to Saratoga and Glens Falls after a snowfall is soooo beautiful (if you can stay away from the trucks). You'll have to post some pics from the fall leaves and a snowfall so I can try to miss it.
