My kids are 10 and 7. I've always been a stay at home mom and have zero regrets. My husband and I sat down and discussed all the options, this was the only way to go for us. Figuring out my salary for working, gas to and from work and other work related expenses... almost my entire paycheck would go to someone else to take care of my children. It just wasn't worth it!
There are several websites where I earn cash, gift cards and freebies. All of which make things stretch further for my family and really make a difference. I use many of my wins and freebies for gift giving. They make the perfect gifts and that's zero money out of my pocket for presents! I also cash in for gift cards that enable me to take the kids to the movies and do extra things for fun. Also free for us!
I use coupons as often as I can and combine them with sales and clearance. Last September, the small bags of Goldfish crackers were on sale at Albertson's for $1 and I had (74) $1/1 Goldfish cracker coupons. I got 74 bags for $4.44 - I just had to pay the tax. Right now, we have 4 bags left! LOL!
I buy all my kids clothes on clearance and off season. I got winter coats a couple months ago for next year and paid just $10 each. They were normally $90 - $120 each.
I sell lots of clothes, toys, etc. that the kids no longer use, need or can wear on Craigslist. No shipping fees to take away from your profit like selling on Ebay.
I hope this helps. Trust me, you CAN make it work and it's well worth it!

I am signed up with most of these, and I love them. Superpoints and Swagbucks are my big online money earners.
