Cassie Tithof, Contributor

Cassie resides in Grand Rapids, Michigan with her husband Paul, daughter Chloe, baby in utero, and dog Griffin.  She studied Finance and Economics at Western Michigan University, and currently works as a commercial real estate appraiser at a Fortune 500 company.

Cassie is a devoted mother and wife who struggles to spend the absolute most time with her family, juggle a full time career, maintain a home to an acceptable level of toxicity, and put dinner on the table every night.  Okay, she can’t really do that last part, unless you count the ability to cook both chicken nuggets and fries in the oven at the same time even though they have different bake temps!!  Because she can do that!

Cassie has a passion for writing whether it be 300-page real estate appraisals, compulsive to-do lists (half of which are things she already completed that day, because, hey, it makes her feel awesome when she crosses them off), posts for her private blog, or posts for TML.  She often describes herself as a “closet nerd,” because you’d never guess she once spent her days hyperventilating over an A minus.  She did.
