    Happy Freaking Valentine’s Day


    8 Comments

    Happy Valentine’s Day, everyone! Johnny and I didn’t really celebrate Valentine’s Day last year. Sally was just barely a month old, and we were neck deep in the realities of new parenthood. In other words, we were zombies. When Johnny got home from work that night, we didn’t even have…

    Our Internet Is Down


    29 Comments

    Not too long ago, we did a post on the perks of renting. Welp, one of the non-perks is having the Internet go down and having no power over getting it fixed. With nothing better to do, Johnny and I have just been staring each other down for the past…

  • A Brief Intermission


    4 Comments

    When Sally doesn’t like what’s on her high chair tray, she simply throws it off without a second thought. Sometimes I attempt to put it back on her tray. And she responds by looking me right in the eye, smiling, and then throwing it off once again. Now if only…

    Happy First Birthday + a Giveaway!

    Today is our girl’s first birthday! It’s hard to believe it’s already been a year since we welcomed her into our lives. During her first year, we referred to her as Baby Girl, but she’s not really a baby anymore! And it was getting kind of annoying. So we’ll be…

  • A Look Back at 2013

    We hope all of you had a wonderful Christmas! We loved celebrating our girl’s first Christmas and watching her not play with any of the toys we got her, but continue to seek out our phones and remotes like an electronics-seeking missile. It was great to spend time with our…

  • Merry (Freaking) Christmas

    Johnny and I are hosting Christmas Eve dinner tonight, so our home will soon be filled with the aroma of roast, carrots, and potatoes. But most importantly, it will be filled with family. We feel lucky to be with our loved ones this year, and we hope you’re surrounded by…

  • Our Freaking Budget Turns One!


    35 Comments

    One year ago this week, a very pregnant Joanna and a less fatigued me quickly scanned over our sad excuse for a website. I double checked design and made sure links didn’t land in an Internet black hole, while Joanna reviewed our content to make sure we didn’t sound like idiots…

    Oh boy am I glad to finally be writing this post. For over a week now, we’ve been having some major troubles with our website. You may have noticed that our site has been down, or that it’s been loading slowly, or that you haven’t been able to comment. Or…

  • Settled In… Finally!

    Welp, I think this will be the first weekend that we actually feel settled in our new place. We finally unpacked our office and bedroom last weekend, so our new place is officially box free. And just in time… it’s a long weekend! Can I get a hallelujah? We’re planning…
