I wanted to introduce myself to you, especially with so many new readers lately. My name is Heather and I live in Houston with my husband and two sons. Right now my job title is “stay-at-home mom” and “part-time blogger”, but before I had kids I worked as a civil engineer. I started this blog because I wanted to share the freebies I find with other moms. If you go to any of the freebie boards you will find long lists of all kinds of free samples and offers. I try to sift through this information and bring the best of the offers to you in a timely manner. My hope is that my blog will be fun for you to read and help you save money. I am thrilled to have so many readers, because you can help me keep up to date with the quickly changing links and offers. I encourage you to me e-mail me or post a comment about anything on my blog, or about a new offer you find! You may also like to read my inaugural post Moms Deserve Freebies! Enjoy your freebies because you deserve them!
I have been following your blog for a while now on my reader and twitter for a while now. I decided to drop by and take a look and found you also live in Houston! I am glad to find another Houston blogger. And more surprises you are a civil engineer! Me too! I am currently a SAHM with a lovely 8 week old and I love freebies. Thanks for your wonderful site and deals!
Heather – I've been following your blog a month or so now and just read your "about" and discovered that you're a fellow civil-engineer-turned-mom. Glad to know there are others out there!
Thanks for visiting, Sarah! Just remember that Freebies 4 Mom is going on 15 months old, so it’s a work-in-progress. Hopefully always getting better. I’m having fun, and love helping other people find the free stuff. Chat with ya soon!-HeatherFreebies 4 Mom
Hi Heather! Your site is awesome. I really don’t know where you find the time. Well, I do–You are just so organized. You truly are a supermom! Anyway, I am just now sitting down and enjoying my Christmas cards, and I thought I would look up your site. I am definitely going to bookmark it.
hi, i have been reading and visiting ur site daily since seeing u on t.v. i have never responded bc i am very very busy but i just wanted u to know that i am here :) my son lives 1 1/2 hours (one way) from me and he is on the wrestling team. i go to college 5 days a week (30 min from home), and my church is the opposite direction of my son and my school, and i sell avon full time. i am very involved with my son’s wrestling team (including out of town stays and driving team members) and i volunteer at my church and attend service twice a week. i am always in my car (lots of gas money) so i love being able to come to ur site and find ways to save money. thanks again, but know that just bc u dont hear from all ur readers doesnt mean that we arent grateful to have met you :)
Heather, I am not a mom at all but in this tough economy my husband and I due all that we can to save money. I haven’t gotten into the sweepstakes sides of things but I sure due enjoy the coupons and the free samples. OH YEAH, and the GREAT tips on how to use duplicate coupons or how to mix coupons with store sales. I am from Minnesota so the stores aren’t always located here but I take everything that I can use. Thanks!
Response to Comment #12 – Welcome – I love helping people save money (moms and non-moms). The name of my blog should really be “Freebies 4 THIS Mom” because the Mom is me because it’s a key part of my identity and the main drive for my increased focus on living more frugally. Welcome and enjoy the freebies!-HeatherFreebies 4 Mom
Thanks so much !!! I really appreciate it, I’m not a mom, but rather a poor graduate student.
Heather,I was so excited to find your site this week. Thank you for introducing me to new ways of saving money for my family. I will be dropping by daily.
OMG! I love your site! You are heaven sent. I’m a Full-time Student, Full Time Office Manager, and A Full Time Mom. I have never come across a site like yours.
