Hey there!!
First, I’m guessing you’re familiar with how the internet works. Beautiful people show their perfect life where a picture-perfect made-from-scratch dinner is on the table by 5pm every night and no one complains about the mushrooms or onions.
They don’t worry about the budget, never have grease spots on their clothes, and their hair and make-up is spot-on, even when they’re “lounging at home.”
Um… this isn’t me!
I’m an ordinary wife and mom wearing thrift store comfy pants with spots of unknown origin on my shirt. My kitchen sink ALWAYS has dirty dishes, and I burned dinner last week when we finally got home at 8pm (it was SOUP!). I once made chocolate chip cookie bars that tasted so bad, no one in the family would touch them!
I pay close attention to my grocery budget because that’s how we paid off over $100,000 worth of debt and saved up to pay cash for a 3200 sqft house outside Atlanta, GA.
We now live on a 30-acre farm outside Greenville, SC with cows, sheep, a couple of barn cats, and plenty of chickens.
One thing is for sure – you and I have a lot in common and we could easily be neighbors. See that lady pulling weeds and taking the trash out? Or the other lady yelling at her kids to stop bouncing the basketball on the house? That’s me! But I’d like to open my door and introduce you to my family – wanna come in?
👈👈 This is my oldest, Joshua.
He’s a distance runner in cross country and track, and the reigning champ for pickleball and ping pong at school. His heart is big and gentle, when asked he’ll always request steak for dinner, and he’s the only one I trust to put the dishes away in the right spot.
This is my youngest, Abbie. 👉👉
She throws discus in track, sings in chorus, and is the runner-up champion of badminton. She’s also the resident baker for the family (despite being gluten and soy-free) and is contemplating culinary school – her peanut butter cup chocolate cake is AMAZING!
Both kids are voracious readers and I often find them sitting at the kitchen table eating with their noses stuffed in a book.
👈👈 This is my husband Mike, a.k.a. Mr. Crumbs.
He’s a former pilot turned surfer/biker/farmer and a recovering picky eater who has been in IT for 15+ years. He isn’t quite sure what he wants to be when he grows up, although he started a magnesium lotion business (check out his shop here!) and that’s been fun!
He’s also my biggest supporter and the one I can count on to keep my compass pointing north and my sanity in check.
Aaaand… this is me. 👉👉
My hobbies include reading, fitness, puzzles, and hanging out with the cows and sheep. I’m an ESTJ, which means I love to alphabetize our small library of books and organize closets, but hate to think of things to do when company visits. I’ll eat pretty much anything except black licorice, fennel, and snails.

Tiffany
