Conversation With J

Me: “Ow!”

J: “Are you OK, Mommy?”

Me: “I’m OK. I just hit my elbow.”

J: “Ohhhh no, Mommy! Don’t hit Elmo!”

Hi! I'm Christi, the blogger here at Frugal Novice. I'm a Texan, born and raised, and I'm married to my high school sweetheart, Brian. I love baking, cooking, reading, DIY-ing, and spending time with my three great kids, who are 8, 6, & 3.

Thanks! I just hope he didn’t head off to day care and tell all his friends that his mom beat up Elmo. :)

How cute of J to worry about Elmo! Brian (mine, not yours) told me about the blog over the weekend- LOVE IT! I am also trying to be more frugal, so it will be habit by the time we have some little ones. If you don’t have one, order an Entertainment Passbook- it has all kinds of great coupons. I’ll definitely check back for more tips and recipes!

You’re smart to think about it now, Janalyn! We didn’t think about it much at all before having kids.

I’ve actually looked into getting a passbook before – I think my brother was selling them for a fundraiser his senior year – but sadly there’s not a lot we can use here. If we traveled more or lived in a bigger city I’d definitely get one, though.

I’m glad you came and checked out the blog – I’m having a lot of fun with it!
