I didn’t become a mom in the traditional sense of becoming pregnant and giving birth. We adopted our kiddos and my “pregnancy” stage consisted of filling out loads of paperwork, getting loads of paperwork notarized, overnighting the paperwork all over the country and then waiting and waiting. While my children were not newborns when we brought them home (my son was 10 months old and my daughter was 18 months) both had a sleep schedule of a newborn for the first few months home. Like any new mom, it took me a long time to get used to the exhaustion, waking up countless times each night and meanwhile staying on top of all of my work and household responsibilities.
For me, the one thing that helped me out bigtime was being stocked with groceries, diapers and wipes. Being a frugal shopper, having a stockpile isn’t difficult for me to acquire. Before we brought our children home, we already had their bedroom closets filled with diapers and wipes. The last thing we wanted to do was go to the store, bleary eyed, in the middle of the night because of running out of diapers.

Thanks for coming to Addicted to Saving! Here’s a little bit about me so you can know who’s behind all these posts!
My name is Liza and I began my money-saving journey in the Spring of 2009 as a way to stretch a limited household income. I had lost my job and my hubby was self-employed. I launched Addicted to Saving in November of 2009 and it has grown by leaps and bounds. Since then, my hubby and I have struggled with the ups and downs of two failed adoptions and are now LOVING being parents to our little man Asher who we brought home from Ethiopia in August of 2013. I feel incredibly blessed to be able to help you save money. My goal is that you will have FUN and become empowered to save more and more money each week..
