My return as a stay at home mom

For the past 1 1/2 years I have been working full time outside the home.  That was the longest year and half ever!  I missed being home with my kids!  It is so easy to take that precious time for granted.

For a little back ground,  my daughter, Claudia, is in 4th grade.  My son, Cameron, is a sophomore in college and he was working about 30 hours a week also.  I hardly ever saw Cameron except late at night.  I missed picking Claudia up from school, having school lunch with her, going to school parties, etc......so much going on it seems.

Before getting back in the work force, I had been home for 11 years after leaving my banking career of about 15 years.  In that time I started substitute teaching, which I loved! If that is something that  possibly interests you moms or dads, I say Go for it!!!  You get a whole new perspective of how everything works, get to know the teachers and the precious students.

During the time I was working, I had thought about starting a blog to basically document my ideas of saving money, organization, crafts, family activities, thriftiness, and plain 'ole having FUN!!

 Thanks for taking the time to read my post.  Please let me  know if you have a subject in mind for me to write about or just comment to let me know you are here.  I'm so excited about this new journey!  This will be so much fun!
