Healthy Habits / "Fast Food" Lifestyle

One of the real benefits that I have found in doing things the long way to save money is that when time is limited you can easily return to a "Fast Food" way of life to ease your load. Before I was a SAHM I was living as conveniently as possible so when I was sick, someone needed to go to the hospital etc. I was totally overwhelmed. Now it seems like a little gift to myself during those hard times. The washcloths, cloth diapers, and hanging clothes on the line can wait.
