In Which I Begin

Six weeks after the birth of my son, I found myself unexpectedly unemployed. Like so many of my friends and acquaintances, I'm another victim of the economy.

This wasn't a heartbreaking issue for me. Although I wanted to go back to work part-time, I'm happy to stay home with Nathan. My husband and I had discussed me not returning to work, but first and foremost I carried us all on our insurance policy. I'll get into the insanity of COBRA in another post.

While I collect severance and unemployment, I intend to keep this blog to document my attempts to live simply and cheaply to keep our little family with as much cash in hand as possible.
