Hi, I’m Alissa!

If you’re curious about creating more simplicity, sustainability and financial freedom in your life you’ve landed in the right place.

I’m Alissa and I started writing this blog to share our successes and failures applying my learning about these topics each week to our family life. With each change, my goal is to spend our time and money in support of our deepest values. More meaning, less distraction.

I am an avid reader, podcast listener, and planner. I am (slowly and inconsistently) learning to meditate and be more in the moment, encouraged by my zen carpenter husband. He has a serious bonsai habit, which is not a hobby for the impatient. I’m most relaxed hiking in the mountains here in the Pacific Northwest or working in the garden with my kids, both under four and quick to squeal with delight over a wiggling worm.

Thanks for joining me on this journey.
