Mandy Jones (ThriftyMama82)

Hello I'm Mandy! I am a 38 year old mama of two beautiful little girls ages 4 and 6. I have overcome many challenges in my short life and love to try and help others by knowing they are not alone. After the passing of my Dad a few years ago, my life as I thought I knew it was suddenly changed as it opened my eyes to many things that I thought I knew. Now I look back and realize that I had no idea and my upbringing wasn't all rainbows and butterflies. I love hard and just want to be accepted for who i am.
