Hey there! I’m Gretchen. The author of The Frugal Mom Life. I’m a Wife, Mom of two kiddos, avid reader and hiker. My family is currently in the process of paying off over $90,000 (!!!) worth of debt-the majority being Student Loans. We’re a family of four living on one income, renting a two bedroom home (that we were lucky to get for the price we did) in a not-so-cheap part of the country. I know that through budgeting, meal planning, living frugally (but not cheaply-there IS a difference) and still having fun that we WILL get out of debt. You can too!! Believe in yourself and see what awesome things come your way!

I hope you’ll stick around and find some frugal and delicious recipes, supplemental income ideas, budgeting ideas, product reviews, a Day in the Life, living frugally with kids, DIY creations, and more, to help you get through this debt-free process and after. We all need some accountability, so come follow me as I pay off debt and have fun doing it. Welcome!
