For the first few years of our marriage, Johnny and I were gifted a Costco membership each year. And when something is given to you for free, it’s a no-brainer to take full advantage of it. But about a year ago, the time came when we no longer had the…
Happy Monday! Johnny and I will be hopping on a jet plane for DC this week. Johnny’s in a friend’s wedding, and we’re excited to spend the 4th in our nation’s capital! And unlike our last trip, this time Sally’s coming with us. Gulp. Let me tell you a little…
Who else has the spring cleaning bug? I don’t actually think mine has anything to do with the fact that it’s spring, but rather that I’m trying to put back together everything that’s fallen apart during the past few months of my insane work schedule. And in case you’re wondering,…

Hello friends — and foes… you know who you are Mr. Panda Express guy who always scrimps on my orange chicken. There’s a special circle in Dante’s Inferno reserved just for you. Overpriced Chinese-but-not-really-Chinese food aside, I wanted to let you all in an awesome image I saw retweeted a…
Johnny and I find budgeting to be quite stifling. It’s our money, so we should get to do with it as we please, amiright? When we first started budgeting, sticking to each and every little category made us both feel downright claustrophobic. And so we said To heck with it!…
I had the covers pulled up to my neck, like always. It was pitch black, and I’d just told Johnny “Goodnight!” But then I rolled back over. “Hey Johnny, guess what?” “Hmm?” he replied, sleepily. He’s notorious for taking mere seconds to fall asleep. “Tomorrow starts a new month, which…
Vacations are great. You know what makes them more great? You don’t have to answer that. Because I’m only looking for a single answer and I don’t want to tell you you’re wrong if you don’t say, “When they don’t cost a ton of money.” So now that I messed…
