Recommitting

I've come to some new (or old) realizations lately.  As a SAHM, I sometimes feel like I should be contributing to the family income.  The other day I started thinking about "recommitting" to my job as a SAHM.  As a SAHM I have the opportunity to give our family more spending (or saving) money by simply taking the time to make more homemade meals, do more couponing and menu planning.  These few things can have a significant impact on the extra cash we have to do other things with.

I have to admit I spend too much time on the computer.  The other day I was thinking about when my oldest was little (and I only had one).  Things were so much more simple...I only had one kid, there was no computer...no internet.  I actually spent more time doing "home maker" things.  When I look back on that time I sometimes long for the way it was but I know that all I have to do is make some changes and embrace where I am right now.  So in the next few weeks I hope to share some of the changes I've made and how they're impacting our family.

Here's a line from the theme song on "The Biggest Loser" TV show:
"What have you done today to make you feel proud?"
