Being a stay at home parent living on one income has proved to be a challenge especially when it comes to budgeting. A sacrifice that I don't regret, spending this precious time with my daughter is well worth it. However with Christmas coming we had to slim down our gift giving list by a lot, and chosen to just buy gifts for the children, Christmas is for them anyways so to me it was the best solution. I love Christmas, decorating my home and all the traditions that go along with it. So today I'm asking all of you for some cheap ( and I mean cheap) inexpensive ideas on gifts, decorating, baking, and everything else that envolves christmas. I look forward to these ideas as I'm at a lost on how to deal with a very small budget for this time of year.
