Frugal Living – Fox News Segment

Apr2

Many of you that live out of state have requested that I put the link up here so that you can watch it.
Now, you can chuckle with me. Just don’t look too closely. πŸ™‚

Personally, I am thrilled that the message of frugal living is being looked at more closely as a viable, fun and creative option. The anchor woman set up the piece very nicely, which isn’t shown on the clip. She ended the segment with very positive comments as well.
The segment didn’t go into any specific details on how to accomplish a more frugal lifestyle.
So unfortunately, it may pique curiosity from those who watched it, but since they didn’t actually say the name of my blog…boo hoo…viewers will have to do a bit of work to find me.

All in all, it was a wonderful experience, and I was already asked if I would be open to doing things in the future. πŸ™‚
Surely, I’d be honored…if they name my blog, and don’t make me talk about deep cleaning. hee hee

    How cute are you! You did a great job! It was fantastic! What a testimony of your life and to your family and to the value of coming back to family life. I just thought it was awesome! πŸ™‚ I love that you shared different parts of your role as “manager” and that you can serve as an icon of women who choose to stay home for their families! I also loved getting a sneak peak at your Easter decorations on your table! I think I have the same tree. πŸ™‚ And your kids are adorable…how fun that they got to be highlighted as well! Thanks for sharing Jen…your new blog looks great as well!

  9. It was a great piece! Congratulations!! I am glad I could watch it from the computer. Thank you for sharing. Your family is beautiful! My 3 are about the same age as your 3 youngest… Zachary just turned 12 in December, Abbie is 9, and Jacob is about to turn 6 on Easter! They really should have mentioned your blog, though. Blessings!

    Yea, Jen! You did a great job, and it seems they left a lot more room for topics to cover with you. You’re getting famous! Won’t it be great if the Lord lets you get rich off frugal living?

    You did such a great job!!

  21. That is awesome, and you are totally an inspiration-you exude joy at what you do. And just a side note-I’ve been following your advice and saved over $75 last night when I did my grocery shopping! Thank you so much! (and it’s really about so much more than being a housewife, it’s managing what God has given us, doing well with what we have-thanks for encouraging lots of mom to step up and do so!)

  23. Kimberly Eddy says:

    Jen, you are a natural on the camera. I did a link to your post on my blog too! Good job!

    [Reply]

  24. That was reeeeeally good, Jen. Two things stuck out to me. As a homeschooler, I appreciated your saying you don’t wake up everyday thinking, “Yea! I get to school my kids today.” Homeschooling is not for the faint of heart πŸ™‚ Also, I have recently started couponing and sales ad matching. It takes me about an hour. I’ve not reached your level of savings yet, but each week it gets a little better and little better! Thanks for the encouragement πŸ™‚

    WHERE did you get that tree from that is on your table?!?! (The one with the Easter ornaments!!) I have been looking EVERYWHERE for one just like that for some cute little ornaments I picked up at a yard sale a month or so ago, but can’t seem to find a tree like that.
    It is SO cute!!
