It was around this time three years ago that Johnny and I joined hands together, jointly extended our pointer fingers, and pressed “Submit” on our final debt payment. If all of that sounds kinda weird, it was. And I’m glad you didn’t see it. But boy was it exciting! And…
Yes, it’s true… this week is OFB’s second birthday! In some ways, we can’t believe it’s already been two years. In the same breath, it feels like OFB has always been a part of us — for better or worse, richer or poorer. It’s like a marriage. But here we are!…
We hope everyone has a turkey-filled Thanksgiving surrounded by loved ones today! We’re in Alabama, celebrating with my family and enjoying some much needed downtime during this crazy process of moving to NYC. We’ll be back next week with more updates! xo, OFB
There are very few certainties in life, but one thing I was completely certain of was that we would never live in New York City again. We loved our time in the city when we lived there in 2010-2011, but we were so young and carefree back then! We’d never…
In case you missed our Instagram announcement, the OFB household will be growing again come April! We couldn’t be more excited, although we don’t think Sally has a clue that a baby in mommy’s belly means losing her only-child status. Today I’m 18 weeks, so we’re almost halfway there! I…

It’s been an interesting couple of months in the OFB household. Life has been crazy. I’ve hinted at this a few times, but seriously, the last few months just really kicked our trash. Johnny has been traveling more than ever for work, and his workload has also been heavier than…
Johnny just arrived home from yet another business trip, which is partially why I mentioned Monday that I wanted to stay busy… it helps the time speed by while he’s away. Thanks for the great comments on Wednesday’s post about buying a rental before we buy our own place. You’ve…
We loved reading you guys’ input on my oil change drama. I had some grocery shopping to do yesterday at Walmart (new month, new grocery budget finally!), and I took the opportunity to go and talk to the oil change mechanics. I actually had them rotate my tires since they…
Johnny’s been out of town for work, so Sally, the cat, and I have been holding down the fort in the OFB household. For various reasons, we’re all counting down the hours until his return. I’m ready to have a husband and to co-parent again, Sally’s ready to have the…
