I started this blog as a way of sharing some ideas and experiences that can hopefully help others. We live in Northern California where the cost of living is very expensive. For this reason, we have gotten creative with ways to save money but still manage to have a lot of fun! I have a passion for saving money but not at the expense of quality, for DIYing, organizing and coming up with fun, inexpensive projects or activities for my kids. I’m so happy you’re here and I hope you enjoy our little space on the internet!
