About the author: Jessie
Blogger, mother, wife, business owner, tightwad, surprised car enthusiast, wannabe baker/foodie, I can’t grow radishes. I write blogs about getting the most out of life for the least money, waste, time and effort.
I would like to have it all but with the least fuss, waste and cost. It’s not always easy, it is frequently messy but it is fun especially when you add in a business, a gaggle of children and an inventive husband.
