I am a wife, mom, teacher and occasionally, well more than occasionally I like to save money wherever I can by clipping coupons from the newspaper and whatever comes in the mail. In these times when prices are going up for everything, I am always looking for that deal that is out there. If that means buying in bulk, I buy items like meat, cheese, butter, toilet paper, paper towels, etc. just to save some money. Because as prices keep going up my salary as a teacher does not, so I have to be creative. I know some people say your a teacher and you get summer offs, so you shouldn't make that much money for the time that you work. However, I don't think some people understand the hours that are involved in teaching. A teacher does not just work 40 hours a week, I actually work more than that try 50-60 hours/week or more. And yes I get summers off however, at times it is hard to "put the cup down" because I am always thinking of ways to be a better teacher. I am a teacher because I want to make a difference in a students life. I know that I will not be able to reach each student, however I am gonna try and do my best to make some kind of impact on their life.
Hence the creation of this blog for people and teachers to steal (I mean apply as we call it in the teaching world) some of the ideas that I come up with as I am on a journey as a wife, mom, teacher, and yes a saver when I can.
