Calling all (Work or Stay) at Home Moms
I really want to know how I can stay at home and not have to be scrambling to buy groceries.
I need to hear from those that are successful at doing so.
I see plenty of you moms out there that are able to stay home with your kids and survive on one income.
I see some of you doing this in places like California and New York, where the cost of living is pretty high.
How do you do it?
Are you always coupon clipping and having to second-guess your purchases?
Or are you able to do so comfortably and be able to go shopping every once in a while?
I mean, currently I bring in 50% of our household income, but being home with the monkey for two days (even if I was in pain and recovering from the wisdom tooth fiasco), REALLY made me want to turn in my resignation and stay home.
But, of course, things aren’t so simple.
To lose my income would put a HUGE dent in our lifestyle and budget. I don’t really think we can afford to live off just one income.
So, help me out here.
How do you do it?

Get Ready to Cry
Or not.
It might just be me.
But, here’s the story…
On Friday, I had my wisdom teeth pulled.
All four of them.
As I came home all high from the anesthesia, for whatever reason, I was crying.
It was that involuntary type of crying.
So my daughter, the cute lil thing she is, grabs some tissues from the bathroom, jumps up on the bed, and wipes the tears from my face.
But, wait, it doesn’t end there!
She then goes and gets me one of her books…and a teddy bear…you know, to make me feel better.
All together now…..
awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
And then…(what, there’s more????)
Yes, more! lol
My husband tells her that mami is going to rest and sleep because she has an owie and she proceeds to…
What? What can top all that?
She sings me a lullaby!!!!
Yes, my two year old baby girl sings me a lullaby so that I can go to sleep and get some rest!!!
Of course at that point, my involuntary crying, became true crying.
I know, I know…she’s adorable and the sweetest thing on this Earth.
I warned you to get ready to cry!

My daughter’s a liar.
My daughter lied yesterday.
She got on the phone with her daddy and said “Look daddy! I’m eating rice.”
But she wasn’t. At the time, her abuela and I were trying to get her to eat some, though.
Is this a new phase I’m starting???
:banging my head against table:
Like i don’t have enough issues with communication with her.

It’s always something…isn’t it?
Sitting at work…and I receive this link.
Great. Now I have to go buy some glass bottles for baby girl.
I email the link to husband.
Husband: Always something, huh? Glass bottles, then?
Me: Yes, please. It might be a little “hippie” [long story], but she’s worth it.
Husband: Absolutely. Want me to stop on way home? [Isn't he the greatest?!]
So off he goes to find some BPA free or glass bottles and sippy cups.
Did you know that the Born Free bottles are $20 for a pack of 2??? Wow!
Thankfully, he found some from Evenflo that were MUCH cheaper.
The sippy cup, however….well, he couldn’t find any other brands and ended up paying $11 for one cup!
Maybe there’s some truth to it, or maybe not and it’s just a preliminary study, but whatever, anything for baby girl.
Here’s the link again one more time.
Oh! And, ignore the bad mom in the pic who has her back turned on her baby.
It’s all in preparation for tomorrow’s headline…
I ONLY LOOKED AWAY FOR A SECOND!
