I would like to extend a warm welcome to this month’s Parenting Magazine readers. You can find our blog in a great round-up of 3 Great Family Blogs that can help families save money in their August 2010 Early Years issue. We are so thrilled to keep company with such amazing bloggers and I will admit…awfully flattered that the site offers, “sumptuous photographs,” and that we make “saving money seem stylish.” Oh-la-la! We only hope to offer great inspiration to families on ways to save and make simple living approachable and every bit of glamorous that it possibly can be! I promise, it really can be that way!
If you are visiting from Parenting Magazine this month, I would love to take a moment to introduce myself!
My name is Amy and I am the Founder of MomAdvice.com. I am a busy mom of two and live in the beautiful Midwest with my web designing husband and our two children. I love to cook, knit, drink coffee, take pictures, and am a total bookworm. I am dedicated to anything that will help make my life simpler, keep me on my budget, and that promotes family time!
We started this site six years ago as a platform to share about all of those topics that I had been searching for when I became homemaker. How do I cook? How do I clean this house? How do I keep my children entertained without breaking the bank? How do I manage a daily routine? Most of all though…how do I do all of this on a limited income?
Please grab a cup of coffee and let me shake the dust off of a few of my favorite reads on the site. If you like what you see here, you can subscribe to my feeds and never miss another thing on our site again! We have a landing page where it makes it easy to subscribe to our blogs and you can even subscribe to my article feed.
I love staying connected with my readers so you can find me on Facebook, Twitter, GoodReads, and Ravelry…just to name a few! Chances are, if you search for someone named momadvice, you will likely find me there!
Regardless, I am so thankful for your visit and I hope only to offer inspiration that will make your life easier!
