Loving Frugal

My frugal life began in about 2006. My mother came to live with us due to having Alzheimer and my finance (hubby now) volunteered to stay home with her. One income meant cutting back.

We started looking for ways and found all kinds of sites on how to make your own. We started making our own laundry soap, dish soap, soap, bread, and tons of other things and started cutting back on things not needed as well.

Almost 5 years later, we are happier, healthier, and loving frugal.
