New Frugal Mom - this will be fun.

Our family has gone through so many (amazing) changes in the 3 years. We have moved from Washington State to Virginia, Derick and I got married, and the biggest change of all (as if a cross country move wasn't big enough) Derick is no longer in the Army, and we had a baby 5 months ago. With all of these new changes in our life why not make a few more - healthy, simple, frugal living.

I am learning to can some of our food. I am going to start freezing meals ahead of time, and this spring I am going to start a garden. Who would have though I would ever start a garden. I guess the biggest question is will it actually grow and will I get anything from it? I do not have the best green thumb, I am more skilled at killing all things plant related. 

I am starting this blog for everyone who is just like me and would like to learn how to can, freeze, garden, or get a good laugh at a city girl trying to live simple and frugal. =)  So stay tunes, check back in, and enjoy learning how to live frugal through my mistakes (and I am sure there will be plenty of them). I also love to cook yummy meals for my family, so I will try and have recipes that work for our family, but do not break the bank to make.
