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. So, reach your hand into those crumb-infested couch cushions, grab those loose quarters, and let’s get saving. Welcome to Frugal Living for Families! P.S.
