Abundance on a Budget

By the editors of Pregnancy Magazine

What happened? Seems like just yesterday we were drooling over $800 strollers and 600-thread-count crib linens. Fast forward a few months and we’re wondering if we might save a few bucks by investing in some kneepads instead of a changing table.

The economy turned on a dime, and it seems that dime is calling all the shots! But that baby’s coming, no matter what’s happening with the economy. Fear not-we have a four-step plan that will help you adapt and thrive as recession mom. It’s all about abundance, and it’s all yours for the taking!
