About

Vanessa from Our Thrifty Ideas 

Hey, I’m Vanessa, the crazy Mom behind Our Thrifty Ideas. I love my daily job of a Play at Home Mommy, and I work on the blog during sleep time. Who says you need sleep to live?

Vanessa from Our Thrifty Ideas

Here you will get to know my CRAZY son William who is 7 years old. He has more energy than I know what to do with, and smarts far beyond me. He loves everything animal, knight, or adventure related. He begs to go hiking on a daily basis, and could live in the sprinklers or jumping in rain puddles. 

You will also fall in love with my beautiful daughter, 5, Gracie. She is girlie in every aspect of the word. She loves pink, dresses, and all things princes. But don’t let that girlie girl trick you. She can sword fight with the best of them, and loves to wrestle with her brother. She’s also referred to in our house as Callie the Cat, as she has been going thru a kitty phase for the last 10 months!

Wedding Day - Sean and Vanessa

The Man of The House is also the love of my life. He’s known as Sean (even the kids call him that when mad) and makes an appearance in pictures from time to time!! He and I have been married almost 10 years, and still have Eternity left!

Barker Family 

My family loves to Craft, Bake, Dress up, adventure in the outdoors and play play play!! Hope you stick around to see some of our ideas and implement some into your life too!
