Welcome to Mashup Mom!

I’m so glad you stopped by! So what’s the deal with Mashup Mom?

Online, mashups combine data from two different sources to create something completely new. In real life, many moms similarly combine at-home money-making and money-saving strategies to create a new model of motherhood: Mashup Moms, who fail to fit neatly into the media-created divide between working and stay-at-home mothers. Mashup Moms — and dads! — also find themselves uniquely situated to ride out today’s turbulent economic times; these strategies become ever-more-important in an era of sky-high gas prices, double-digit increases in grocery staples, and collapsing financial institutions.

So, how do mashup moms make and save money, even as the economy implodes? They use technology to network with one another to save time and money. This blog will provide solid and practical advice on using online resources to help us work at home while spending less, organizing both work and home life, and saving more on everyday purchases.
