I’m Robin.
Family CFO. Mom of four, grandma of seven. And the person who believes you were never behind — you just weren’t taught.
I’ve run the money for law firms. And I’ve sat at the kitchen table wondering where mine went.
For the past ten years, I’ve been the CFO of a law firm — and before that, for nearly twenty years, the CFO of my husband’s successful construction company. Spreadsheets, budgets, payroll, planning: that’s been my day job for decades.
But here’s the part that matters more: I was also the mom at the kitchen table, raising four kids, trying to figure out the bills, the meals, and the mental load — all at once, without a playbook. Knowing money professionally didn’t hand me a rhythm at home. I had to build one.
That’s what this site is. The systems I used to run businesses, simplified and put into the hands of any mom — in the pockets of time you actually have. Not three free hours you’re never going to find. Fifteen minutes. Twenty. One Sunday.
I’ve been married 47 years, all four kids are grown, and I’m watching them raise families of their own now. I’ve lived every stage of the journey you’re in. Been there. And I promise you: you CAN do it, y’all.
Faith has been woven through all of it — not as a performance, but as the quiet anchor underneath the budget spreadsheet and the family meeting and the mess. That’s the heart behind The Homefire Method™: not just systems for your home, but a way of tending to what matters most, in the minutes you have.
