My First Post

Hello world! You might think this funny but recently during a wind storm here in NH we lost power, and cable for three days. We are fortunate to have a generator so we did have heat. water, all the necessities. We also could watch movies, watched many dvds that weekend. Well one of them was Julie and Julia. I grew up watching Julia Childs after school on PBS. So I got to thinking, I wanted to Blog. I asked my teenager daughter to show me how, but I figured it out on my own. So to the point of the blog. How in the world does a middle class family make it? I am married, we have two kids, my mother-in-law lives with us, and we have a dog. We own a house in southern NH, well us and the bank anyway. I work in a small law office and my husband is in contruction. My daughter is a junoir and my son is in the 6th grade. Dog Bella is almost 3 year old Dalmation, found her free on Craigslist. She's great!! I am always looking for ways to cut the bills and save money. Now that my daughter is drving they insurabce is unreal. Can't save there anymore.
