Hey there! I’m Jessie. Mom, wife, budgeting ninja, queen of grocery hacks, and your new money-saving BFF.

Oh, and laundry sorter, snack maker, and referee…because mom life, right?

Welcome to my little blog.

A few years ago, we made the jump from two incomes to one, and I figured out how to stretch every dollar without losing my sanity…or my morning coffee.

Spoiler: it’s totally possible.

Now, I’m all about helping other moms get their finances in order, save for the things that matter, and still enjoy the little luxuries (hello, guilt-free Target runs).

Because I’ve been there, and I know how overwhelming it can feel.

My favorite thing? Meal planning on a budget. There’s something so satisfying about whipping up a week’s worth of dinners that don’t break the bank and still get a thumbs up from the kids.

That’s why I started Budget Minded Mama.

It’s my little corner of the web where I share tips, tricks, and real-life strategies to help you save money, stay organized, and feel good about your finances—even on one income.

So grab a coffee (or reheat it for the third time…we’ve all been there…microwave ☕…yum) and let’s tackle this together.

And follow me on Pinterest for even more ideas to make life easier and a whole lot sweeter.
