10 Things About Me!

Hi all! So I'm getting a slow start to this blog but I have so many ideas floating in my head to share but first I figured I would introduce myself!

1: My name is Amanda and I live in the San Francisco Bay Area

2: I currently work full time and I HATE it! My dream has ALWAYS been to be a Stay at Home Mom but of course life costs money.  I am hoping to make some big changes and bring you along for the ride of my journey from full time working mommy to SAHM/Part time working mommy and how I plan on landing on my feet!

3: I LOOOVE to use apps like Ibotta and Ebates! I seriously have made over $#00 with these 2 apps combined and it is sooooo easy! Whenever I hit a rut with using coupons I always keep up with Ibotta and Ebates because its mindless to use! There are a ton of apps out there to save money but these 2 are by FAR my fav!

4: My goal in the near future are to post couponing trips and real life meal plans using those things you can get for cheap with coupons! Because whats good about having 343543 jars of pasta sauce and eating spaghetti every dinner! I wanna reinvent recipes while still eating healthy AND save money in the process!

5: I live in MY.DREAM.HOUSE but wanna do sooooo many DIY projects - so stay tuned for those! Board and batten in the bathrooms and refinishing my grandparents hutch and dining table! Eek!! I wanna do it all NOW!

6: I have a BLACK thumb but I am determined to have a sweet garden this year! So far we have sage and Zucchini and I haven't killed them yet! Woot woot!

7: I have 2 kiddos who are my WHOLE life - they are 3 and 8 months old and my do they have some personality - and cute baby feet!

8: I currently am participating in my first Survey site and am pleasantly pleased with how easy it is and how I'm actually earning money!! It's called MySurvey.com - check it out! I'll do a future post soon about how it works and how super duper easy it is!

9: I LOVE budgets and numbers! I'm a total dork about it and have FAR too many spreadsheets to organize my life - let me know if you are interested in seeing how we manage our budgets, net worth, travel credit cards point etc.

10: FINALLY - I am jazzed about getting this site up and running - I have some awesome plans for what I want accomplish and share so I hope you stay tuned and we can live and share tips for living an awesome life for less!
