Don't get me wrong, a bottle of wine is a great hostess gift, but sometimes we want to give something more unique. Why don't you try a memorable hostess gift this holiday season!

* About me...
12 years ago, I left my job to stay home with our 3 children, and our household income was cut in half! Of course, I didn't want to change our lifestyle and more free time meant more time to shop, but how would shopping be any fun without money? I quickly discovered that the stay at home mom job description included more than just play dates...I was now the CEO of the Story family and also the maid, the cook and yes, the bargain shopper. So, my life on a budget began, and I created http://www.TheBudgetDiet.com to share money saving tips with other stay at home moms.
