Hello! I’m Cassie. I’m a wife and mom of two living in Northwest Arkansas who is passionate about budgeting, meal planning, organizing, de-cluttering, and of course family.
I have been a full-time homemaker since the spring of 2018 after about a decade-long career in accounting. I have long enjoyed baking bread and from-scratch meals for my family but often fell short of being consistent with it when I worked full time.
It has been a joy and a privilege to be able to take care of my family more fully in the last few years. I am all about expanding my horizons as a work-at-home mom to make sure this opportunity to be with my kids more is not a fleeting one.
I love a good side hustle, and aside from this blog I also do occasional freelance bookkeeping, taste testing, and the odd babysitting job for extra income. Next school year I hope to add substitute teaching to the list.
We live consumer debt-free since we sold our first home in 2018. I am a Young Living Brand Ambassador and passionate about raising my family in a healthy, toxin-free home all while living on a small budget.
This involves a lot of DIY recipes, which doesn’t bother me at all! Follow along as I chronicle my frugal oily adventures here as well.
A few months after launching this blog I also started a YouTube channel of the same name. I’d love for you to check it out! I talk about all the things I’m passionate about as well as post DIY videos there.
I previously kept a private blog chronicling our first home’s renovation. I’ve loved writing for as long as I can remember and look forward to sharing with you and hearing what you have to say as well.
Happy budgeting and thanks for being a frugal friend!
