My name is Naomi … welcome to my kitchen!

I live in Northeast Ohio with my husband and three kidlets (13, 5 and 2).  We are currently experiencing lake-effect snow (we didn’t know what it was either until after we’d ALREADY moved in, and it started!) and I am so thankful for our fireplace!

I do not work outside of the home, but some days it sure feels like it!  I am beginning to get very involved in my community through family-friendly events and am excited to see where it takes me!

I have more than enough blogs to keep me busy … two of which are Savvy Source Cleveland where I talk and write about the cool and fun things to do with your kids here in the Cleveland area, and Tracing Handprints where I aim to eventually have a place to let other like-minded moms know what’s out there in the way of fun crafts, books to read, and things that are worth their hard-earned money.

If you ask my husband about my cooking, he will be quick to say that I did NOT cook when we first met!  My idea of cooking was either green bean casserole (the exact recipe that is on the can of green beans) or chili.  Neither took much expertise, and I am proud to say that I am learning to love the art of cooking … creating nourishment for my family and trying to balance being frugal, healthy and “happy” with our meals.

My physical kitchen is very rarely picked up and ALWAYS contains clutter.  I often pledge to be better about this, but in reality … I must admit defeat.  Our kitchen is the hub of our home!

I fluctuate between my “typical” concerning meal planning and shopping.  I do alot of freezer cooking and also meagerly attempt to keep track of my attempts to be more frugal at Naomi Does Frugal.

One of my struggles is finding a perfect balance between feeding my family WELL (full bellies), HEALTHY, FRUGALLY and EFFICIENTLY.  Is that possible?

As you join me this week in my kitchen, I’ll talk openly and honestly about my schedule, how I get meals on the table in the midst of running a business, sports schedules, crazy toddlers, playdates and spending WAY too much time on the laptop!

Nice to meet you!

Thank you for opening your kitchen to us all this week, Naomi.
