Who’s the writer behind Tipid Mommy?

Hello, Kumusta kayo?

I am Gracie, happily married, juggling my day as a full-time nanay to my kids and as a small online business owner.

Why I started Tipid Mommy Blog?

I started Tipid Mommy blog to share my experiences, bad and good money management and lessons we’ve learned in the past and our progress, our journey to one of our ultimate dreams in life – Financial Freedom.

Those experiences, humbled us, mold us, taught us life and financial lessons that we know, not just beneficial for us but for every Filipino Families.

Indeed, there are lessons in life that you can only learn in a storm..

Our financial crisis led us to Frugal Living and made us more mindful, practical and budget spenders. Those setbacks are God’s set-up for me, to this new found purpose and advocacy as a blogger.

“Control your money, do not let money control you”

Its been more than a decade, since we’ve decided to take control of our finances, and be better stewards of God’s resources. I’m just happy to share our progress, failures, real stories of our pains and “yahoo!” moments, to help “nanays” to live within their means, to budget (Nanay-On-A-Budget) make practical choices and inspire parents to be a good example of stewardship at home.

At the end of the day, it is all about Jesus, our Real Source, as I always share to friends, being a freelancer and small business owner, we do not have a consistent pay check per month, but we have a Consistent God.
