We're on FIRE! Our frugal lifestyle has a name!

I always thought we were the weirdos.

For years, I ran a green, organic, healthy lifestyle blog.  We've raised our kids to be mindful of what they eat, what they do, what they say... We've taught them that their everyday choices impact themselves, our family, our community, and also our planet.  Turns out, we're not the only ones!  We're so thankful that we've stumbled across the FIRE lifestyle; meeting many others who also strive for FIRE (Financially Independent, and aiming to Retire Early).

So what's FIRE, and how is it different from the other buzzwords out there: being frugal, minimalism, decluttering, finding joy, etc... ?  It's actually all that, and more.  It's all about figuring out what truly makes you happy, and simply making choices to sustain that happiness.  What FIRE isn't is driving yourself crazy and miserable by making too many sacrifices, and counting every single penny.

Now that we're able to put a name to the lifestyle choices we've made, and figured out ways to pursue our own journey to FIRE, we're here to share!  Looking forward to sharing ideas and sparking conversations with all of you.
