About Us

Hi! Welcome to the world of the Wee Family! My name is Christy, wife to Mr. Wee and new mommy to our precious little bug Baby Wee. I love God, my sometimes crazy family, crafting, cooking and curling up with a cup of coffee and a good book.

I met Mr. Wee at the young age of 32 and had almost given up hope on my dream of having a family. Up until then I was working on my college degree, had started a career and battled thyroid cancer. Along the way, I was making financial decisions without thought of their impact on the future (credit cards, student loans, medical bills... impulse purchases from your friendly mall store). I had debts but I had a job to support them.

When we were blessed with the news of our baby girl, we could hardly contain our excitement! We both hoped for me to stay home and raise her, but reality set in when we sat down to crunch numbers. Because of past decisions and our current debt load, I needed to work. At the end of my maternity leave, I went back to work part time (30 hours/week) and spent every spare minute dreaming of ways to make me staying home work.

We created a budget and a snowball plan to tackle our debts but it seemed that the goals kept getting pushed back. To be completely honest, we had a budget but it was only on paper. We didn't live it. We didn't change our habits. We didn't change so our situation didn't change.

This blog is our journey to make those changes and to make our dream of me being able to stay home with Baby Wee a reality.

Take a look around and send me your ideas and tips! I would love to hear from you!
