Hi, my name is Christina.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am so glad you stopped by to visit The Frugal Homemaker!<\/em><\/p>\n

I grew up in a very frugal home and am a homemaker at heart.  I love thrifting, shopping at yard sales, crafting, spray painting or painting anything I can, building furniture, and working on Do-it-Yourself projects to decorate our home.  You could say I have “Pottery Barn style on a yard sale budget.”<\/em><\/p>\n

Hence why \u201cThe Frugal Homemaker<\/em>\u201d was born! \ud83d\ude42  <\/strong>I began writing The Frugal Homemaker in 2011 and in October of 2021 celebrated 10 years of blogging.<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I enjoy blogging and have greatly treasured the friendships I have found through the blogging community.  I love to browse Pinterest, read other blogs, connect and share on Instagram, and find more ideas for creative ways I can decorate my home and make our lives better on a budget.<\/p>\n

Some other things about me:<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

I have been married to my best friend for 18 years.  I am so thankful for my husband and the wonderful marriage the Lord has blessed us with!<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

After 11 years of infertility, the Lord blessed us with a little girl who has truly blessed our home and life with so much happiness.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

My family means the world to me and I am thankful that I am able to stay at home with my little girl.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

I am also a homeschool mom.  I grew up homeschooled and always planned to homeschool our little girl at least through elementary school – I actually have an Elementary Education college degree.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

We love taking trips (especially to the beach!) and going on adventures together.  We also enjoy serving together in our local church.  <\/p>\n

Our family also consists of our adorable white cat named Casper. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

\"Casper\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I hope you will stick around as I share how to craft, thrift, DIY, paint, organize, decorate, and turn our house<\/em> into a home<\/em> on a budget.  Hopefully, you will be inspired to do the same!<\/p>\n

I am on stories daily on Instagram<\/a> if you want to see lots of behind the scenes, you can also follow me on facebook,<\/a> or on twitter<\/a>,  or subscribe to receive new posts by email.<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n
