A little about me...

Me!

My Boys!

Adorable Piper joe!

Since starting this blog, I have yet to tell any of you really anything about me, so if your interested keep on reading!

I'm a young mom to 3 adorable kiddos, 2 boys and a girl! Nicholas my oldest is 7, Ayden is 3 and our little princess Piper is 2. I also have one amazing husband who serves in the Marines and does his best to provide for us, his family, every single day! We are a typical American family, struggling with our finances and the challenges that come with raising 3 children in today's world.

My frugal journey started (if you can believe it) only about 1 1/2 year ago. Since having our first child so young... well to say the least, we weren't quite prepared with the financial struggles that were to come. In all honesty, once Nicholas was born our focus was way more on materialistic things, making sure he looked adorable and well, making sure we did too. Going out to buy new clothes was always on the top of our list, driving flashy cars and working to make it look on the outside that our life was perfect. The sad truth was that we had starting digging a hole, a hole that was going to be very difficult to get out of. I was so depressed on the inside but ignored it, though, by purchasing more and pretending. Soon enough our credit card debt was honestly out of control. A vicious cycle formed that we couldn't seem to find a way out of! The more depressed I became, the more I spent.

I look back on those years of my life and really can't believe that was me. At the same time, though, I'm glad it happened. I learned so much, so many life lessons that I never would have otherwise. The important stuff in my life now is far from nice clothes and flashy cars. What's really important are the people I surround myself with not the "things"! My kids have taught me so much about what's important, about really loving and about understanding what life is really all about.

So why did I start this blog?
At first I started this blog to actually help myself be more accountable. By writing stuff down I was motivated to take the necessary steps I needed to start my frugal journey. Once I got going I realized how much fun saving money can be. Not only is it fun to watch your savings account grow and your debt diminish, but its also exciting when you get your family involved and really teach your kids the value of a $1! I feel so empowered now and confident... and well that's why I love this blog! I want all my readers to feel great about what there doing for their families and themselves! Saving money in my opinion is the same as making money. As a stay at home mom, I now know how amazing it feels to actually realize that your contributing to your family in so many ways... using coupons, being a frugal shopper and learning how to budget your money are all ways we're doing just that!

Why name my blog Hip2Save?
Well, first off my brilliant sister came up with the name. The name fits perfect, though, since... I'm hip and I love to save and why shouldn't it be Hip to Save?!?:)

Couponing should NOT be frowned upon! I want to show everyone, especially the younger generation that saving money and using coupons is HIP!
