I've had a lot of friends ask me, "How do you do that?". So I'm trying my hand at showing you how in the most effective manner. I hope to gear this towards showing busy moms how to manage being frugal (not cheap) while managing their family, their homes, and in some cases their job.

How I Plan to be School DEBT FREE by 2014 - Part 1
Who I Am and What I'm All About
At 26 years old, a mother of an amazing 16 month old baby boy named Caleb, a wife of a year and a half to an wonderful husband named Josh, full time Special Education teacher for 9-12 grade at-risk students, owner of 3 cute dogs, and homemaker, I have a very full life! I spend my summers relaxing with my son and enjoying every second I can watching him grow and develop! But all this comes with a price!
With my husband's Master's degree, my Bachelor's degree along with my current Master's program, and our home we are quite in debt for being so young. Roughly $70,000 in student loans alone! As a family, we've been working hard to not gain more debt while still taking care of lifes unexpected expenses. We've managed to pay for my Master's degree out of pocket, buy a new-to-us 2003 Santa Fe, and go on vacation all without putting a penny on a credit card or taking out another loan. It takes diligence and patience to build up all that money, but it can be done!
