Hi y’all! My name is Victoria and I’m a born and raised 10th generation Texan raising the next generation in Central Texas with my husband of 12 years.

Here’s a little bit about our family…

In 2015 (after 10 years of marriage, what a long wait!) we welcomed our little boy into the family and made the decision that I would leave my job as a kindergarten teacher to stay home with him. As amazing as that was, it only lasted a short time… In January of 2016 my husband lost his job and our sole source of income disappeared overnight. It was terrifying at first, as I was afraid that I would lose the opportunity to stay home with our son. But it has turned into the biggest blessing we could ever imagine!

Because we were able to work hard, save money, and live frugally, we had the chance to completely change our lives! Today we both work from home and are blessed to be bringing in more money for our family than we made together both working for other people!

Now through my blog, I get to help others learn more about how to live a frugal and simple lifestyle, while making money online so they can pursue the lives they’ve always dreamed of!

Here on the site you’ll find “from scratch” cooking recipes, real skills (like canning, soap making, and knitting), and frugal living. Welcome and enjoy!
