Change of Plans.....

So I've decided to hang up my TRH Apron (after 13 Amazing Years) for The Little Cupcake Shoppe Apron full time starting this Fall... My husband and I have been talking for quiet some time now about me becoming a stay at home momma again...I was back in 2003 after our youngest was born until 2006 when we bought our home and I LOVED IT.... but then our Budget got a rude awakening about Home Ownership,but my last draw was a few weeks ago when I missed my son's first HOMERUN!!! I was devastated!!!
So I have been taking my Stockpile and Couponing very seriously lately, The boys and I have been eating at home and less on Fast food....And we did purchase Season Passes to Idlewild for some summertime fun that we go to once a week pack our lunch for the day but we do have a $10 budget and get ice cream...Not bad for a day full of swimming,riding rides,and just having FUN....
I know that I would be able to stay at home and we will still be just fine on ONE income, it's just I need that extra insurance that what if something comes up that I wanna buy for the house or school shopping,adding to my Stockpile,etc..
So I will be more focused on The Little Cupcake Shoppe which will help with some extra income and something to keep me busy during the day when the boys are at school..
This is probably the scariest decision I've had to make but this is going to be what's best for my family,I will actually be able to sit and have supper with my family instead of get the boys off the bus have 5mins. to talk then hurry out the door..
Hopefully all works out after the Kitchen is done and Thanks to my Amazing Support from My Family and Friends..
