FRUGAL LIVING TIPS FROM A SAHM OF OVER 30 YEARS
Hi everyone!
Today I have my Mom on the channel and she is sharing her experience as a stay-at-home Mom and homemaker who also homeschooled me and my 2 sisters with experience of over 30 years! She has some great tips for managing your household and how to live on a low-income! So many frugal living tips and tricks to afford living on one income! We found joy in slow living all throughout my childhood. I hope you all enjoy and that this video blesses you in some way.

    This was so encouraging to me. I too have been a homemaker for over 37 years now. We homeschool and are still doing that with our youngest kids. This is my 30th year of homeschooling. We do many of the same things to save money as you all did/do. I find it so special that you want to be close to your mama and sisters. All of ours but one live within two hours of us. It’s so good to see another mama from “my time” on here. (Not going to lie, my time has been long, but it has been the greatest thing I have ever done! ❤️)

    Thank you for this video I’ve been a full time stay at home/homeschool mom for 4yrs now. Also my husband care taker. He has always been the provider since it was important for both of us for me to stay home more so now that he is disabled. We live off of his disability which is wayyy less. We live frugal as much as possible to make it work. What has been challenging about it is that in both of our family this is not norm. They all work and kids go to school. We have gotten backlash for it.

    Good morning! My mom & grandma were the same way.. they kept the sink full Of soapy water & washed as they cooked. I've always done the same, if i don't have a dishwasher. If I do i rinse & load as i go. And I'm always wiping the stove & counters too. I used to go to yard sales when my kids were little, and i also had yard sales to sale the things they had outgrown g used that money towards new things. I go to thrift stores & yard sales for my grandkids. Planning to go this weekend or next to try & find some things for my 3 & 5yr old grands get live with me. I love thrifting as you know! For all the things😉 I loved hanging laundry out when i first started homemaking. I don't do it now, but i should. I love my sheets hung out! My grandma didn't own a dryer, they actually had the old timey wringer washer until i was probably 8-10yrs old! My mom hung out laundry until i was probably a young teen.I just can't take the heat in the summer tho🥵 And I don't like jeans or towels hung out, the get too stiff.🤷‍♀️ At my grandmas there was no can food, except maybe Campbell soup. My grandad was A farmer all his life, the only job he ever had & raised 11 kids as a farmer! They had fields in both sides & behind the house. They had A little country store across the road with another field beside it. They grew pretty much every veggie & sold so of produce. So all summer we were picking, shelling, canning, freezing.. they had apple & pear trees, & red, purple & green grapes. So there were lots of jellies, jams & preserves. The had several freezers & a large jelly cabinet and the were full til the next year! We at what was grown! The got all other essentials from the little store & did a to every 2-4wks just for meats. We ate good girl! And yes I miss it desperately😔 At Grandmas There was no AC! Windows stayed up with fans in the windows that drew air thru the house. I loved my childhood.. and wish my kids would have had that same opportunity! I certainly didn't miss out! We didn't do vacations until my brother came home from Vietnam & started driving a truck, making decent money. He'd take Mr & mom to the mountains every fall. My mom & dad divorced when i was 4. My dad would get with friends & their kids & we'd go camping at the beach. In middle school my sister & her husband bought a big camper & we'd go to the beach with them. My brother & sister were teens when i was born, so a bit older than me. I love you moms values! I always loved having my kids with me! I didn't go places they couldn't go. I did have to with so my mom kept them for me to work until they started school.. and i was very thankful! My mom never once had a sitter for me, i always stayed with my grandma, or sometimes i went to my dads which lived with my other grandma. I lived in my moms backyard until my youngest was 8, then we bought land & moved to the country. My sister lived next door to my mom for years. Until she bought land in the country. I enjoyed the video, love sharing childhood years & how we lived. Those were special times! I pray you have a blessed week 🙏🏻

      What a special childhood you had! It was similar to mine at my Grandmas house, she always had jelly and canned goods and she made everything homemade that she could, and oh my goodness was her food amazing! She loved cooking for the people she loved. My Granny would also use fans in the windows for as long as she could, she did have an AC once it got super hot though 🥰. I actually agree that I don’t like the feeling of jeans and towels hung out! So when I get a laundry line done I will dry them for about 10 minutes once I bring them in and it gives them that “fluffiness” that I’m wanting from the dryer 🥰. Thank you so much for sharing your stories! I love it! God bless and I hope you have an amazing week!

    Your childhood sounds like the one we are giving our kids. Lol They are always with us. We thrift as much as possible. I've hung laundry. My kids help with everything. The one thing I'm wanting to do with my boys now is teach them how to cook. I always love hearing from moms who have done this before us. And before technology was so huge. I agree about losing those key things more and more. I am going to be teaching our kids how to budget this year.

    Girl! Preach!! You truly hit the nail on the head…these thrift stores were given these items for free! It definitely feels the like the original intention for thrift stores is being lost. We have a church thrift store in our area, that VERY obviously knows exactly what they have and they price accordingly. On rare occasions I have purchased some pricier items there…but most of the time I just walk out. I love the shelf and the trivet (I could use more of those!), all the old books AND the hymnal. ❤ Great haul!! Oh my goodness!

    Many years ago there used to be a home improvement chain called National Lumber. There was a sign when you walked in the doors there that said something to the effect of it being a working warehouse - there would be loud beeping, forklifts, sawdust, etc - it was not a perfectly groomed store. That was the gist of it anyway - the exact wording is long lost in a ditch somewhere along memory lane in my mind. I've always thought there should be a similar sign in my house. "This is an actual working house, it is not a model home. Despite regular efforts to keep it clean, there will be cat hair on everything. There will be some splatters on the stove from the multitude of meals cooked daily and there will be a few dirty dishes in the sink most of the time, even after all dishes have been done. There will be laundry needing to be folded, cleared horizontal surfaces will remain so for approximately 2 minutes only. People live here."

      I think I remember one of those stores from when I was younger! I love what that said, life is messy sometimes and we just can’t have a showroom all the time, especially if we spend a lot of time in our home. Home is not like Pinterest, it rarely stays that pretty, in my house anyways lol. We have dog hair everywhere and me and my husband throw things around 😆

Life is messy, that's all there is to it.

      I just made applesauce today. What I do is I incorporate in my Kodiak oatmeal when I make it so I just use that round apple cutter, I leave the peel on it and put them in a pan and add a little bit of water, cinnamon, nutmeg and then I put the sugar-free Vermont maple syrup or any sugar-free syrup and that’s it, it should last me a week or more.

I have also used some in middle of table with a pitcher of flowers or a candle it kinda elevates it. I have used teapots in a vinyette. I have one for fall.
