A Little About Me

I am a wife, mother and Granny who has learned to manage a household through changing financial circumstances.  I know from experience that you can live well even when money is tight.

Why I Started Use What You Have Home

I want to share hope for those struggling to make ends meet, and teach practical skills to make your income go further.  You’ll read about gardening, food preservation, mending and reducing waste, and other ways you can improve your life with less.

What I Hope You’ll Find Here

I want to be your encourager; offering small steps to use what you have and build skills and confidence, with no pressure to be perfect.
