Hi! I’m Jillian!
I became a mother in my mid 30s, after having worked as a pediatric occupational therapist for many years. After I met and got married to my husband, we decided to have me quit my job, even though I was the breadwinner, in order to stay home with our children. It was a huge financial learning curve, as we worked to make living on one income possible. It’s a tale of embracing simplicity, and frugality, as we raise our children on a limited income, all while knowing that the Lord will continue to provide.
