Our Story:

My name is Stacy Greenleaf. I am 36 years old and a mom of 6 children. 3 through birth and 3 through foster care adoption. I did foster care from May 2007 till Novemeber 2011 and have provided care for 8 children in that time. I have been married to my husband Terry for 16 years. We are a one income household and I am always looking for ways to save money. People refer to me as a stay at home mom, though I'm always going somewhere! Three of our children have diagnosed disabilities and are receiving several services. In home, at school and by many doctors, specialist, counselors and Phyciatrist's. My life is never dull, and though I'm always looking to improve it I would'nt change a thing! Welcome to my crazy, happy life!

Three days till Christmas!!!! YIKES!

Wow! I just realized how close Christmas is! I have 3 days, including today to get EVERYTHING done! This happens every year and every year things always eventually get done, so I' dont know why I panic the way I do! Although I do not want a repeat of last year when I was driving to moms at 11pm on Chritmas Eve to get wrapping paper and then wrapping till 2am!
I got a total of 3 presants wrapped last night before I ran out of tape! I am hoping my babysitter is available to watch the little ones today so i can get more done! I can not get anything done with them here!
I wish I had more help some days, like someone to offer to help with them, but it is what it is. I need to figure it out, if it was'nt $60 a day for childcare, I would use my babysitter more often! It really does get done, somehow! I've gotten quite creative before!
I've got to finish up my shopping today! Do the sock stuff! and hopfully finish wrapping!
Merry Christmas everyone!
