Blue Collar Queen

HI!  I am a 37 year old single mother, and have learned a lot about frugaqlity, DIY, industry shortcuts and the conservation mentality, through a life time of working  jobs in the blue collar industry.  I have been in the food industry, construction, building maintainence, manufacturing, janitorial, and shipping.   I still think skilled and semi skilled tradesmen and people on the lower pay spectrum right now have a lot to offer people in the way of knowledge in how to get through the really tough economic times.  Most of the articles will be How To, but some will just be about the mindset that it takes to fight off the buy buy buy mentality in America.
