We did this. I was an attorney with a huge firm in a big city doing very well. We had a huge "This Old House" house that we were rennovating at no small expense. The Muffin came along in 1999 and I announced that I was staying home.

We moved. Nice home, but newer, more neighborhood, further away from the city, and lots less expensive. Kept cars (we always did that). Now, with the Muffin turning 7 and the Biscuit almost 5, I work PT as a consultant; mostly from home, but can travel a bit with help from my dear husband.

Best. Decision. Ever.

Good luck.
