About Tabitha

Hi! I'm Tabitha! But, I bet you expected someone named "Penny." Long story made short, Penny is the coupon binder I started in 2010 when we were totally broke... as in BANKRUPT. Now, as a mom of five, I make 6-figures a year working at home and share ways to help you move from penny to profit while you raise a family with sense on cents.

    Our daycare also had to get rid of their cribs. The owner turned four of the crib ends( which are clear plexiglass) into an 4 sided easel for the bigger kids. I recovered the the matteress for the school-age children to use in book area. the 2-4 year olds use them for tumbleing mats.
