Welcome to Frugally Blonde! I am so glad you are here! I’m Julie and I live in the suburbs of Indianapolis with my husband and son. In 2001 I quit my job as a preschool teacher for my dream job, stay at home mom. I thought I would stay at home with my son until he went to kindergarten and then I would head back to work. Instead, I found I had a passion not just for being a mom but for homekeeping too!
Here at Frugally Blonde, I share tips about cleaning, organizing, budgeting, and an occasional recipe or two. You can follow me on Pinterest or Facebook to see the latest here at Frugally Blonde. You can also subscribe to my email to get a weekly update with the latest blog posts.
