About Me

My name is Rose Atwater.  I’m a local, Mississippi girl – working hard to live debt-free and stretch our income as much as possible! I’ve been married to my college sweetheart, Richard, for 13 years and we have 5 very busy kids, ages 3-12. I have a degree in Mathematics, but my JOB is wife, homeschool Mommy, daughter, sister, home manager, babysitter, bill payer, laundry folder, dish washer, and the list goes on and on! In my ‘spare time’ (is there such a thing?) I work hard to stretch our budget using coupons, rebates, sales, and deals! Over the last 8 years, I’ve saved literally thousands of dollars and I love showing others how to do the same!

I started blogging about my Adventures in Savings when I moved back to my (tiny) hometown and realized how many women here had no idea about the possibilities of deals, freebies, etc.  Personally, our ultimate goal with our finances is to honor God by being good stewards of all that He has given us – to spend less than we earn, save as much as possible, and give generously as God leads us!  I decided to blog to share my knowledge and experience and to teach other Moms how to stretch their dollars a little further and be able to meet their financial goals.  Along with sharing great coupons, deals, and freebies, I hope to show Moms how to maximize rebates, how to earn extra money from home (a few dollars at a time), and how to save time and money in the kitchen.   I really enjoy sharing my favorite cooking or baking adventures and  I also throw in the occasional disastrous funny adventure or real-life mess that comes naturally in a family like ours!  I love to hear from readers and if you ask a question or make a suggestion that I use, I’ll mention you in the post and link to your blog (if you’re a blogger).
