Hi, I'm Beth!
Alongside me is my husband and our two young children and we call The Midlands our home.
Like many families, we have felt the financial pinch since becoming parents. I previously worked in the NHS as a Phlebotomist, a job I loved but couldn't continue after having children due to the high cost of childcare which were not sustainable for us as a family. I became passionately creative about finding ways we could save money whilst still providing our children with the life we had dreamed for them.
