About Me

Hi, I’m Marisa!

I’m married to my high school sweetheart — the love of my life and best friend. Together we have three beautiful children, an 11-year-old boy and 3-year-old twin girls.

I used to be an elementary school teacher, but now I am blessed to be a stay-at-home mama. I love to shop, but with only one income I have had to learn how to buy the things I love at a discount. It has been a challenge, but there is nothing better than scoring a really great deal and saving my family money!

Besides shopping, I enjoy spending time with my family, working out, cooking, and watching reality TV.

This blog is all about my family’s adventure to live well and spend less. It features reviews and giveaways, product recommendations, entertainment news, recipes, deals and freebies, and any other mommy or family related information that I find interesting and want to share.

I started this blog over two years ago as a way to share the awesome deals I was finding with my family and friends, but it has evolved into so much more! I still love to share the good deals and freebies I find, but I have found that my real passion is working alongside brands. I really like learning about new products and sharing about them with my readers.

If you have a tip/idea for my blog, want to be a guest blogger, or you are interested in me hosting a review/giveaway for your company, please email me at marisa@thepennywisemama.com so that we can further discuss details.

Thanks for stopping by!
