HELLO

Since becoming a family, like many people, we have felt the pinch of financial stresses. My previous job before we had children was within the NHS as a Phlebotomist, I job which I enjoyed but was unable to return to due to the staggering costs of childcare. Our childcare costs would have left us £30 out of pocket PER DAY, meaning that I had no choice but to look for part time evening work instead. During this time we began to get creative in ways we could save money as a family but still give our children the live we had dreamed for them.

In July 2022 I took to TikTok and Instagram to start creating videos of money saving hacks in which had helped us and I couldn't believe the response! My page quickly gained traction and I realised that during such a difficult time with the cost of living crisis it was important for me to share ways in which I had found to live on a budget with a family and the Budgeting Mum was born!
