Hello Everyone!
Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Marissa, and I am a disabled stay at home mom.
For the last few years I have been struggling with coming to terms with the medical conditions I have been diagnosed with. I'm sure if you're reading this blog, you're familiar with being a parent, or having a medical condition, or you're curious about one or both.
I personally suffer from fibromyalgia, migraines, arthritis, PTSD, anxiety disorder, and OCD. While I am familiar with what it's like to live with these conditions (I have for years now) I am new to accepting the finality of a diagnosis. I lived in a world before where I thought some doctor might figure out what was wrong with me and fix things. I now live in a world where I realize that this is who I am, like it or not, and I'd better make the most of it.
I have started this blog to share my experiences of coping with being a single-income family in a two-income world. I hope that this blog will encourage you. I hope to share money-saving tips, and ways that disabled people or stay at home moms or dads can boost their income just a bit.
I really hope that this blog will help people who might feel isolated or alone gain some encouragement. I encourage everyone who reads my blog or comments on it to keep an open mind and above all, love others as you love yourself. This means hopefully no mean, negative, or argumentative comments. We are all friends here.
