The heart behind Tightwad Tuesday's was to share what I have gleaned over the years. (learned from others over the last 18 years...more if you include all I learned from my mom and older brother) God put the desire in my heart to encourage and inspire other moms who were feeling they had to go back to work part time or full time instead of staying home because of the enconomy. I want to say that Tightwad Tuesday's are for anybody but that was behind the begining of Tightwad Tuesdays . It saddened my heart to see homeschool moms being pulled away from such a important job... being a mom and educating their children.
.
I have tried to keep my eyes and ears open to any frugal way that I could possibly learn to stretch the dollar as far as I could. I wanted to learn to in a sense to pay myself (saving money by doing it myself) instead of paying others what I could do myself. That way I could stay home and raise my own kids.
.
I use to think that I had cut all the corners that I could possibly cut. I had a saying... " I have cut so many corners that I am down to a circle",LOL. By hoasting TWT's I have found from what others have shared that there are many more corners to be cut. When a frugal idea would pop in my head that could possibly be a way to cut another corner I would start researching on the internet with zeal. I have to say I have learned soooooo much in the last year ! Thank you all who have shared your TWT's.

Let us all keep having a "gleaners mindset" and keep inspriring eachother and learning so we can make the ends meet and more.

Lets save our pennies, nickles, dimes, and dollars together !

"There are only a few big ways to save money but there are many small ways ....that all adds up."
"If mothers could learn to do for themselves what they do for their children when these are overdone, we should have happier households. Let the mother go out to play!
If she would have the courage to let everything go when life becomes too tense, and just take a day, or half a day, out in the fields, or with a favourite book, or in
a picture gallery looking long and well at just two or three pictures, or in bed, without the children, life would go on far more happily for both children and parents.
The mother would then be able to hold herself in "wise passiveness’ and would not fret her children by continual interference even of hand or eye - she would let them
be." ...Charlotte Mason
