Well hello, there... Welcome to my little corner of the internet! My name is Cassie and I'm here to document my "new" way of life and the tips, tricks, and challenges that I experience along the way. A couple of weeks ago, I made a pretty huge life change. I made the decision to leave an extremely stressful (but well-paying) job that was completely eating up my life, and transitioned to a part-time role in a similar but less-demanding industry. It was a difficult but necessary decision in order to improve my mental and physical health, and to focus on all of the things that I've been missing out on. You know - the important things in life, like time with my family, taking care of our home, and actually having some "me time." That being said, with this change comes a pretty steep decline in our family's income. My husband, T., and I have been together for nearly twelve years now, and are still very much in love. He is my best friend and biggest supporter....
