You Can Stay Home With Your Kids

Even on a tight budget, you CAN thrive!

Yesterday…

You sat at the kitchen table with the bills and statements spread out deciding which ones to pay first. You checked your bank account online and unsuccessfully attempted to balance the bills against that amount.

It just would not work, so in frustration you shut the computer and buried your head in your hands. Could you cut spending somewhere else or perhaps somehow add more income to your family’s budget?

“But where do I begin?,” you thought desperately.

“As a mom who stayed home with her kids, I can testify that Erin packs into her book wisdom and practical ideas that work…Her suggestions for curtailing spending, uncovering ways to save, and creatively looking for opportunities to earn a side hustle offer hope and direction for moms in all seasons and stages of motherhood.”  

Elisa Pulliam, mom of 4, Author of Meet the New You, Life Coach and Mentor, and Founder of MoretoBe.com

Today…

You and your spouse are weighed down discussing the budget, reviewing the calendar, and going over the monthly plan and weekly commitments.

Clipping coupons helps but is just not cutting it. You continue to examine what you can remove from your budget or what line items you can adjust. It’s all so overwhelming.

You don’t necessarily want to go back to work outside the home. You worked outside the home before, but you really want to stay at home with your kids.

“How can I make this work?,” you fearfully ask yourself.

“For anyone wishing to stay home but just not sure it’s a realistic dream…Erin’s practical tips and experience makes the impossible feel within reach!”

 Jamie C. Martin, mom of 3,  author of Give Your Child the World, and co-founder of Simple Homeschool
