    He Says/She Says: Gift Cards

    I recently celebrated a birthday, and one of my gifts was an Amazon gift card. I was so excited to spend it immediately, and I instantly knew just what to get (an e-book and lipstick, of course). It’s rare that I get a gift card that Johnny can’t lay claim…

    When it comes to homes, Joanna and I agree on a lot of things. For starters, we both want one — eventually. We both want a big yard, an open floor plan, and a mortgage that makes us house rich. We both like hardwood floors, white cabinets, and mid-century modern…

    When we were scouring NYC for an apartment back in November, our biggest priority was space. Neither of us cared about any bells and whistles; we just didn’t want to feel (too) cramped with two kids. One of the biggest perks to the apartment we now call home is that it…

    Happy Friday, friends! The weekend is upon us once again, and it couldn’t come soon enough. Johnny and I had our date night one night early — on Thursday night — and went to a college football game. So today feels like it should be Saturday. I like football games.…

    In the He Says/She Says series, we discuss financial-ish topics where we agree to disagree and make our case with fighting words. We then promptly make up. When our blog was first birthed, I did a He Says/She Says on Johnny’s obsession with saving receipts, and my determination to throw…

    As soon as the winter thaw begins, Johnny and I start talking summer vacation. We both love the sand and sun so, if at all possible, a yearly trip to the beach is a must. For me, sometimes this also means a new swimsuit is in order. Even though I…

    In the He Says/She Says series, we discuss financial-ish topics where we agree to disagree and make our case with fighting words. We then promptly make up. George Washington would be pretty impressed with a lot that the 21st century has to offer. Computers, drones, dental hygiene, Capri Suns. But…

    In the He Says/She Says series, we discuss financial-ish topics where we agree to disagree… whatever that means. There are many moments of history I wish I had witnessed. The Gettysburg Address and Berlin Wall’s demise would have been kinda cool. But I really wish that I had been a…

    I remember sitting in a ceramics class. My teacher was waxing poetic about an out-of-body experience she had while visiting a Native American tribe. Some classmates were finishing up the final contours of interesting looking “vases” that included strategically concealed holes. As I looked around, I remember thinking what it…

    In the He Says/She Says series, we discuss financial-ish topics where we agree to disagree. I’m not a natural saver. There. It’s out there. But by our second year of marriage, Johnny (and Dave Ramsey) had helped me see the light, and I started to look for ways to pinch…
