Discovering new options

We may have decided on a car but not sure. Getting 28mpg is a lot better than the Tahoe. We also know the benefits can be moved over and also that our child care reimbursement accounts can be turned off. I think we are certainly making progress by the day!
I have my 60+ names of people to call to book shows and I am praying my efforts pay off. Being home with my son is so important to me and coming to the realization that I think it is actually cosing me to come to work that doesnt even guarentee that I will receive a paycheck. Looking back, taking this job has given me a lot more flexibility but I took a huge paycut and agreed to the job after being told I would make more than I was making. As much as I know I got taken, I think it was Gods way of showing us that we really can live on less and still be super happy and fulfilled.  Dont get me wrong, living off a $150 for a week is really hard especially when you drive a gas guzzler and live so 44 miles round trip away from work.  It has also helped though. We cook homemade meals every night, I have planted a garden that is sprouting some yummy fruits and veggies and with the use of coupons, we are able to really save at the grocery store.
My son is still in diapers and that is a big expense but he has moved on to Horizon Organic whole milk that is about $4 per half gallon and about 1/3 the cost of the Similac Go n'Grow formula.
I think with every passing day, we are getting closer and closer. Please pray for my Premier Designs business to prosper and grow so I can be home with my little guy.
I hope that other moms that long to stay home with their kids read this and know there is hope! A business like Premier makes it possible and with the support of the other ladies and the shows that get you out of the house and around adults is truely amazing and thearapeutic.  If you think you could be a jewelry lady and it would help you stay home and make some good money, I am ready to help you. Leave me a message with your email. :-) God Bless all moms and dads that sacrifice for the benefit of the kids!
