I love Jill and I can’t imagine what her family would’ve done without her, she’s battled chronic illness but driving back and forth and taking care of the babies and mamas and families, amazing!

[@maurabuller5606]

I raised by boys with the Tightwad book and Sidetracked home Executives. I also used the Make a Mix cookbook and figured out how to make my own mixes. I learned to freeze a single serving meal and cook ahead and freeze meals. My husband was building a business at the time. I didn't know at the time that we were living below the poverty level..I just made it work. Our lives have been blessed. We just bought a house in Idaho - our dream retirement home outside of Marsing.

[@carrielynn4345]

love your story!

[@marylandgirl7358]

I'm so happy to hear the baby had no problems at all. God is so good.

[@anad814]

Oh man, talk about a cliff hanger! I LOVE listening to this Penny pinching mama series. Thanks for sharing!

[@fortheloveofhome7824]

You are so right about holding our babies and children. Although both of my kids were 9lb 10oz at birth with no issues, I still spend most of my time holding them and sacrifice doing other things. It is so important. ♥️♥️♥️ Love the series!

[@dawnemerson3604]

Love that

[@warrior5203]

The more I watch your shows, I am happy for your success and you deserve it! Esther Chicago

[@angelinagutierrez909]

It brings me a big smile when I hear Jill describe how cute her grand babies are!

[@Livinginoz]

I was actually on a forum with Tawra way back in the day. I bought a copy of Not Just Beans, and I've followed her ever since.

[@emmaphilo4049]

Jill is such a good story teller :)

[@donnajtuttle4423]

I love your videos. This is the fourth day I've binge watched them. I'm in the middle of watching Penny Pinching Mama. I'm loving it. They've got everything. Some day I'll catch up. You've got my thumbs up on all of them.

[@samanthabailey8864]

OMG! I’ve been waiting for this! I love to hear yours and Jill’s story. It’s so inspiring and it’s so great to listen to when you’re in the thick of it and literally no one else around you gets it. In New York (and probably elsewhere too) you have the people who are just plain rich and don’t care about saving money (which I think they should because they aren’t tithing - but that’s a personal choice, that I understand) or you have people who are just totally overextended and in total denial like the ostrich with their head buried in the sand. It’s hard when everyone around you has a new car, big house, new clothes and bags, and you’re in the minority. However, I do shop at the thrift store often and when people ask me where I get my clothes I am open and honest about it and have got some of my coworkers shopping there as well! Anyway, thanks for sharing the story. It is nice to be able to just listen to you guys. I think the beauty of this is that it’s like sitting and shooting the breeze with you guys, which so many people don’t do anymore. Also your stories have a total lack of pretense. You guys are so honest and real and I LOVE THAT!!!!!! Thanks for everything you both and your families do!!!!

[@karenlowry2736]

I love listening to the stories. You made me laugh, babysitting, Tawra. So happy to hear your granddaughter made it. Such a trooper like you all.

[@CookingwithCatLover0330]

I love this series. I'm so glad everything turned out well with Alex. You're right, Jill, babies and small children need to be help and touched and loved on. Thanks for the video!

[@user-ei8rb7sj6c]

Just discovered your KZbin channel. You are so right about the importance of learning how to live below your means. I just went to your website and ordered your cookbook. I hope y'all are richly blessed financially & all ways for sharing your wisdom & experience with those who have ears to hear it. God bless.

[@LivingOnADime]

Thank you so much!

[@602redroses]

So glad your family is so close. It is so nice to see that you recognize how God touches your life.

[@mimis-girls7935]

Jill I have binged watched your story. I loved it and I love you ❤️. So much of what you said is so my life. I have 4 autoimmune diseases, and some have the same symptoms as CFS. I don’t t have cfs, I want get into them now. I can’t wait to watch your other videos, Michael is such a delight, he smiles always, and the boys are beautiful...I love love love you all. I’m from Tennessee a 69 year old great grandmother, come May I will be 1 year breast cancer free., born again saved by the blood of Jesus Christian....can’t wait for your next video❤️❤️❤️

[@kaylalowery2321]

I love listening to Mama tell stories about real life!

[@adeleetherton2665]

I still have copies of the Tightwad Gazette... that is so funny!!

[@carrielynn4345]

I have all 3 of her books! :)

[@patriciasweet9102]

Love the Story. Our granddaughter was a preemie. I sang to her from the beginning and told her stories. she came home 3 weeks later. I so relate to Jill's story. God Bless you Grandma Jill you were amazing.

[@kitkat-dp8ec]

You two are so cute together. I love hearing the stories.ty

[@dorawedlock3969]

Love how you two are such good friends. Love your courage!

[@bertuccigirl]

You are leaving us with a cliff hanger! 😊 I was so happy to see a new installment. Just when you think things are going to calm down and you will be able to take it easy something new comes up!! Looking forward to more.

[@BarbaraU]

So glad to have another "episode" I love hearing about your lives before. Better than a soap opera. I'd pay money to go see a movie based on your life, Jill!

[@JenSpice]

Looking for ways to make money to make ends meet is really the key to survival. You are totally right. Growing up in Idaho was wonderful but we have family in Kansas too and it is a really long road trip. I have done a few of those trips too. I can't imagine having such a hard pregnancy. You have a wonderful mom Tawra. I enjoyed this food for thought very much. I'll have to find some more of these episodes. Thanks guys! I'm dry pack canning today. Provident living and being prepared for emergencies are really key to long term security :)Jen

[@connieainlay8057]

God Bless both of you. I admire your work ethic and innovative ways.

[@karencrislip7693]

Your family is sooo lucky to have Jill in it...……..take good care of her...…...although I think she can take care of herself:)))))

[@esthers9140]

Wow...what a busy season of life. Glad your grandbabies made it ok. Just had to comment on how the purple sweater and necklace compliment you Jill.😊

[@ninamaria1339]

You are both precious women, God bless you!❤ I have found not only a wealth of wisdom in the past several months that I have been listening to you, but immense comfort just living vicariously through the beautiful bond you both share...it reminds me of the loving bond my beautiful mother and I always shared until her passing. This episode really caught my heart, for the pure truth you share for the power of prayer and the power that comes through loving human touch. My precious grandson is pure proof of that, as my beloved mama and I prayed together everyday for months leading up to his birth...first it was a spontaneous prayer circle that formed late one night on my front lawn with my kind neighbors, as we prayed for God's protection over his and his mother's lives, nearly 20 weeks before he was born, after a physician just days before spoke the devastating message to my son and daughter-in-law that they had close to a week to decide whether to go through the entire pregnancy, as the baby had a life-threatening defect with only a 15-20 percent survival rate...I immediately prayed that hopeless message out of the room and I declared that God is in the slim percentages! Prayers are what bring us through the toughest times and draw us ever closer to Him! ❤ Prayers and our human touch heal most of all, I believe! My precious grandson was finally able to be held for the first time at 30 days old, and when it was finally my chance, I held that precious miracle in my arms for over 7 hours, til my bladder couldn't hold it anymore! 😅 and now we are preparing to celebrate 7 blessed years with this precious gift from God!!❤ You both, Michael, and your beautiful family are such a perfect example of what family is meant to be! ❤ keeping together and pushing through the toughest times and sharing your journey with so many others is our blessing!❤

[@opchick0597]

May I say, you ladies are so blessed to have each other. I also am blessed with a great mom. When my aunt gave birth to her first child in the 60's, the delivery room had windows, the window washers were outside cleaning the windows while my aunt was pushing her baby out. They stopped cleaning and actually watched the whole thing. At that point, my aunt didn't care if a marching band was watching...LOL

[@LivingOnADime]

LOL

[@happyneek4699]

Love Jill’s purple Sweater and Necklace!

[@budgetlady7592]

There's something very sweet about Mrs. Cooper ! Tawra, you and I are the same age and I am so jealous of you ! Your mom is super super sweet ! :)

[@angiedyer4065]

You two are delightful! Love your family stories! ❤❤❤

[@reneejackson3298]

I bought both books a while ago as part of a bundle and I refer to them often. I absolutely love them!

[@faythea38]

I was so happy to see a new installment! You are such an inspiration. We had hard times too but still kicking. I just wanted to let you know that I checked your home page, just now and have looked several times in the past, but you do not have a playlist for the penny pinching mama stories. It would help for new viewers and everyone to be able to find one. Keep up the helpful and encouraging videos. You are really helping a lot of people.

No I don't. Sorry.

Love listening to your Mom.

[@teresaford8906]

Hi Jill !! Great to see you again !! 😁

[@rebeccaturner9511]

Babies are so special. As a hamster breeder its important to get them used to me and mushed up mealworms etc. Especially at 10-14 days as they begin to open eyes and need time away from mum and mum also needs a break too.

[@lolitamorris2943]

Jill is a beautiful person ❤️

[@rowenaphilbeck1919]

What a story and you have an amazing mom and family to go thru all that. I had a tragedy in my family and as I look back and how I did it. One day at a time. I went with just an 8 year old to having an infant and a 4 year old grand kids that I had to take care of and prepare funeral and my daughter to come home after her long hospital stay and learn to walk again. It was a crazy time. Also during that time my husband at that time was cheating on me with a 24 yr old. Not one of my great years for sure but we all got thru it. I really think prayers and with God's help you do make it. Just one day at a time and not think of the whole picture as that can be overwhelming. You are such a close and strong family. Love how you get by with bills etc. That is what I do and try to help my kids do the same. These younger people have no clue of how to do it all and they gripe about it too. Thanks and I really enjoy your videos.

[@laurieherron1634]

I’ve watched all of the videos so far and I somehow missed the story about the guy getting locked in the basement? Which video is that in?

[@rebacarmack8335]

Your Mom reminds me of a friend of mine

[@2redbird1]

Thanks so much for sharing.

[@stitchengramie]

What kind of work did Mike do that he was away from home so much?

I'm not finding the playlist for Penny Pinching Mama. I would like to start viewing from the beginning. Could you help me?

Here it is. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gKjHfGuYfaqWjtk

[@julieevans1661]

You two are so great together , love your stories but not to be rude or critical , both of you look very tired.😢

[@LivingOnADime]

It was a couple of days after Christmas. We were dead tired. :-)

[@pattishugs7458]

i live in Idaho.....where did you live?

[@carriebishop8568]

These are nice little flowery stories. But I subscribe to your channel just recently because I was looking for solutions. It's nice to have a little mother-daughter audience talk. But seriously most people subscribe to your channel because they need to ins and outs in what to do next. Everything that you've learned from your situation that's what I'm interested in And I know I'm just one person. To get back to my tithing so I do thank you for that. Anyway y'all take care now.

[@LivingOnADime]

We have over 1000 videos and Jill's story is only 30 of those.

[@nannypat6520]

@carrieBishop go to the Playlist and watch the older videos. Loads of advice and tips on how to get through hard times.

[@wahinepaddler4]

I wouldn't speak for 'most people'..

[@70sfan64]
