What is this blog all about? I got to thinking: how many people out there, especially women, are just like me and trying to find a way to do a lot with less:
less money, less time, less opportunity. We are attempting to be our best selves while nurturing marriages, cultivating friendships, raising children, and navigating careers. We want to do and be the most we can be, while
on a budget and in a hurry. This blog is an outlet for my thoughts and a place to document my successes and failures at being the person I want to be. I am a frustrated writer currently trapped inside a system administrator's career. I aspire to work part time (and spend more time with my child), but my
finances have me pinned at full time. I am
frugal by nature and nurture and I'm married to a spender. I am a wannabe foodie who storms the grocery stores armed with
coupons. I am a fashionista at heart but a window shopper by budget.
In short, I want my cake, I want to eat it, too, and in order to get it I'm baking it myself...from scratch.
