Mary has been a frugal prosumer for a long time. She lived in Canada until she turned thirteen and has traveled with John to Japan and Pakistan. Coming from a family of nine she learned to live frugally and do it happily.

She has enjoyed the adventure of thirty years with John and is still looking forward to more adventures. Her talents and passions involve singing, songwriting, studying and using herbal medicine, being a mom, helping John in his business ventures, as well as operating her own cottage industry of herbal body care products.

Mary continues to thrill at the many uses that herbs have in everyday life and she loves flowers. Her academics go beyond high school but that isn’t important to her so don’t ask. Tee hee!
