Hey Mom! * Is your heart nudging you to be a stay-at-home mom, but it feels impossible to make it work as a single-income family? * Does your debt keep piling up and you just can’t seem to get ahead, no matter how hard you try? * Do you have loved ones that desperately need more of your time and care, but you feel the pressure of having to earn an income? * Are you crushed by the mom guilt of not being able to provide everything your family needs (time, money, etc.) in this season? Hi, my name is Mandy Lewis, and I have been where you are. I have learned many strategies that have helped me give up my full-time income and care for the needs of my family while also digging out of debt. I want to help you save money, find the resources you need, get out of debt, and be able to stay home with your family. As a lover of all things free and thrifty, I can teach you exactly how to build a frugal family framework so you can stay home and not only survive, but actually thrive. Together, we’ll go through your mindset, family communication, budgeting, reducing your expenses, saving money, getting out of debt, and even learning to make money creatively.

Living frugally is going to transform the peace and presence that you experience in your family, in your home, and in your own heart as a stay-at-home mom.

Hey friend!Does figuring out what everyone is going to eat all week drive you batty? Do you cringe when you get asked, "What's for dinner?" for the fourth time today? Do you tend to go way over budget in your grocery budget (um...should I have a grocery budget??)
If you answered yes to any of these questions, then this episode is for you! I'm going over my simple meal planning process that I do every week for my own family. This is one of the ways I save loads of time and lots of money every single week! I hope it helps reduce the overwhelm and make you feel like the super parent that you are.

Hey friend!
With all of the natural (and man-made) disasters going on in our world, we can never be prepared enough to help our families through an emergency situation.
In today's episode, I am covering the top food items to stockpile in case of an emergency. These are items that will last a long time and are easier to consume if you lose power for any length of time. And a BONUS, I also go over a short list of some non-food items you can start acquiring on the cheap so you will be ready if your family ever faces any kind of disaster (let's hope you never have to use these items for an emergency!)
Blessings to your family,
Mandy
