[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am the real frugal mama...not the blogger, but a real mom who is truly frugal out of necessity. I work ft out of the home, yet I (gasp) clean my own home and buy groceries myself at a variety of stores by following the sales. Our fourth child is on the way, and while we do buy some new clothing we also rely on hand me downs from older siblings and cousins. We canceled the Washington post (read it online), eat most meals at home, drive used cars, send our kids to public school, etc. But I suspect most families in this area do the exact same thing...so what's so no el about her life??? Her kids can't watch tv and don't participate in sports, etc???? And they have a garden.  Whatever.  I can't believe she makes money of her blog....I need to start blogging.[/quote]

I'm not sure she does make money off her blog, at least not very much yet.

The whole thing doesn't really add up. Her husband just finished his medical training, but they've owned a house they've been renovating for over a year?  I saw the "doctor's mortgage" site, and I wonder what interest rate you have to pay to get somebody to make you a high-risk loan like that, in an expensive area to boot? It's not a Fannie Mae, govt guaranteed loan, which means the interest rate is higher. Unless he's actually been working for this past year ... in which case she's a doctor's wife.[/quote]
