Hello,
I'm new here. I'm a stay at home and homeschooling Mom of three wonderful daughters, ages 8, 6, and 5. Also provider of kibble and love to a Labrador cross and a retired Greyhound.
I found this site while trying to figure out a method of determining how many clothes my kids will need this fall/winter. Seems I never quite get it right, I either overbuy or wind up having to get stuff at the last minute at some ridiculous price.
Besides homeschooling, I'm active as a Girl Scout leader and volunteer, as a member of our UU church, and I enjoy doing a variety of crafts and making music.
I've been trying to live more frugally for about the past year, with varied success rates. The decision to homeschool seems to have triggered a landslide of lifestyle evaluation and change.
So that's my intro. I'm glad to be here and am looking forward to learning more.
