Alternative Housewife

J

I'm Janine, wife to Donny and mama to Sebastian (age 18 months). We live (with our annoying dog) in a simple, cozy apartment in Portland, Oregon, where we are working on building our home and our lives with style. I believe in buying secondhand, in basic and natural products, and in living fabulously on any budget. More about us.

About Alternative Housewife

Alternative Housewife is a Portland-based family and style blog with reviews and how-to’s to help you live fabulously on any budget. Learn how to make thrifty, healthy and eco-friendly choices, from DIY and shopping secondhand to finding the best deals on natural and organic products.

The ‘Alternative Housewife’ is Janine Fowler. I am mama to Sebastian, born September 2010. My husband Donny and I are twenty-somethings who opted to start a family now, while both parents will be at home full time. I am a Work At Home Mama and Donny is currently on Disability (dialysis). Money can be tight, which is what inspires many of the blog posts here. Great style is achievable on any budget!
