How wonderful for you, Christina! And how genuinely exciting. I’ve done a handful of in-house freelancing gigs, and it’s always disorienting at the start, and again at the end when I return to my normal life. Good luck!

Meanwhile, here are some good slow-cooker recipes:

Best sentence ever about the economic impact of divorce:
“The relatively warm, fluffy loaf of bread that R provided for a family of four living under one roof became a thin smattering of crumbs…”

Well done!

Good luck to you. Sounds like you’re looking forward to it. And the best part is, if for some reason it sucks — I’m not sure why it would, but maybe the 9-5 adjustment is annoying, who knows — well, you can always go back to freelancing. It’s sort of the beauty of having gone out on a limb, thrown caution to the wind, and become a freelancer. We’re not afraid to be unemployed! It gives us more choices in life, the biggest being the ability to leave a full time job if we don’t like it.

Again, good luck. And give my regards to ‘benefits.’

Congratulations, Christina. I know you’ll shine!

I see Leah has pointed you to some great ideas. Here are a few quick meals I love to make that don’t require a crockpot. (We’ve got you covered!)

Christina:

You’ll do great. I’ve written a couple of times on my Suddenly Frugal blog about how to use your Crock-Pot to have dinner ready by the time you get home from work. Here are some links for you to check out:
