The unfortunate
truth is that working moms often miss seeing much of their
younger children's development (first steps, first words, new
discoveries, etc.) Homeschooling, especially as children get
older, allows moms more time to interact and get to know their
children better. Many working moms are tired from their workday,
and the few concentrated hours in the evenings, when energy and
emotional levels are low, are not ideal times for interaction.

Jonni McCoy desired to be a
full-time, stay-at-home mom but she
and her family lived in an expensive
area near San Francisco. Would it be
possible to live on just her
husband's income? Months of research
into home expenses and experiments
with making their money go farther
led Jonni to some remarkable
discoveries.
She soon learned many ways to
stretch the family's income and
great tricks for cutting costs. With
these changes, she was able to quit
her job and realize her dream of
being a stay-at-home mom.
Miserly Moms gives us the
result of Jonni's research and
experimentation. After hearing many
other women express how much they
would also like to stay at home, or
simply learn to live more
efficiently, she decided to share
her findings, believing if she could
make it work in one of the most
expensive parts of the country,
anyone could make it work.
Prior to motherhood, Jonni spent
10 years as a senior buyer for
electronics firms such as Apple
Computer and National
Semi-conductor. She holds a Bachelor
of Arts degree in Speech
Communications from the University
of California at Santa Barbara.
Jonni and her husband, Beau, now
make their home in Colorado Springs,
Colorado. They home school their two
children, Jeremy and Jessica. She
presents seminars on living for less
to women's groups and other
conferences.
Jonni has appeared on television
programs like The 700 Club
and radio programs such as Family
Life Today and the Dick Staub
Show. She has also been featured
in Good Housekeeping,
Woman's Day, and Becoming
Family magazines. Currently the
national spokesperson and shopping
expert for Half.com, she is also a
regular columnist on several
websites.
