    Playing Catch Up

    I can hardly believe it’s only been three weeks since little Wynn joined our family! We already can’t imagine our lives without her. Well, Sally probably can, but she’s slowly warming up to the idea of having a little sister. She even asked if Wynn could sleep in her bed last…

    Despite her reluctance to leave the comfort of her warm, womby home, we welcomed this little gal to the world yesterday afternoon. Her name is Wynn and we think she’s rad. Joanna is doing great and putting the pellet ice machine out of business. We’re planning on introducing Sally to her little sister…

    Worry So You Don’t Have to Worry

    At the end of the week, we found ourselves unexpectedly at the hospital. I say unexpectedly because it wasn’t for our now past-due baby girl. Instead, we made a trip to the ER with little miss Sally. She’d woken up in the middle of the night with some labored breathing, and…

    It’s the final countdown! We’re about a week and a half out from my due date, so I wanted to give a little update while I have the energy and brain capacity to do so. One of these days, we’re gonna wake up and our world and family will be…

    NYC and OFB Update

    We’ve almost been NYC residents for three months now, so I wanted to give a brief update on how we’re adjusting this time around. I still can’t believe this is our second time living in the city! And honestly, it feels totally different than last time. For one, we’re on…

    When a Biker Hits Your Stroller

    Indulge us on a little storytelling/venting. Before Sally was born, we bought this stroller/carseat combo, and the stroller has been perfect to have in NYC. It’s sturdy, compact, and super easy to carry up and down subway steps. And it even fits in those narrow grocery store aisles. AND it…

    Today little miss Sally is two! Because she’s such a big girl, I think I’ve been thinking of her as a two-year-old for months now, but today is the day! We’ve been training her for a few weeks so that now when we ask her age she says, “I two!” I…

    Isn’t the end of the year the best? So much hope and ambition and sitting around in pajamas watching Netflix all day. Bake all those ingredients up in our household and you get yourself a brand-spanking new Our Freaking Budget. Well, all the writing is the same. And we’re still…

    Ready or not, 2015 is knocking at the door! I’m always both excited and anxious for what a new year holds. I know what I’d like to accomplish in 2015, like birthing a second baby in about 15 weeks. Other than that main goal — which isn’t really a goal…

    How We’re Spending Christmas 2014

    It’s less than a week until Christmas! I can’t believe it. And if I’m being perfectly honest, I haven’t been feeling very festive this year. I love me some Christmas, but the move kind of kind of ruined my holiday mojo. For instance, Johnny and I hadn’t done an ounce…
