Today I welcome Alexis Prieto, the infamous Exhausted Mom, to share how she manages her exhausting life!  She’s a mom we can all relate to, and her posts always make me feel less stressed when I see how she manages with kids, work and a traveling spouse!  If Alexis can do it, so can I!
Alexis is a thirty-something mom of two active boys. She is married to a very supportive and hands-on husband who travels A LOT for his business. Alexis has been in education for 12 years as a teacher, educational consultant, program consultant, and tutor.

I am still a stir-fry novice; I’ve made some with flank steak a few times but needed to branch out and try some chicken. I love cashew chicken when I eat Chinese out – it’s one of my favorite dishes.   This was incredibly easy and fast to pull together and it tasted really good. I wouldn’t say it was exactly like cashew chicken you’d get in a restaurant, but still had great flavor and was inexpensive to prepare.

I was Tech Savvy Mama’s guest poster recently!  Did you get a chance to read the posting?  If you didn’t, you must!  http://www.techsavvymama.com/2010/05/tech-savvy-guest-caroline-from-smarty.html I highlighted two money saving websites that I believe all Smart Mamas should frequent.  I discuss how The Grocery Game has saved me over $4000 in just over 12 months and how Baby Cheapskate taught me how to buy baby food for 2 cents!
In the coming weeks I look forward to sharing the details on how I have made The Grocery Game (www.TheGroceryGame.com) work for me. I currently devote 15 minutes each Sunday to save my family thousands a year! Are you a Grocery Gamer?  Has it proven successful for your family? I would love to hear real stories from real mommies on how it has worked or not worked.  Please post a comment or send me an
