Run 8 miles I’ve definitely been losing my running mojo. Perhaps I overworked myself with trying to train for a half marathon and doing two back-to-back months of unlimited barre classes (IR...
Almost two months of living at the new place, and almost every day at some point, I still turn to Eric and say “I love our new home.” Even though we’re spending more on living expen...
On living on one income Well, it looks like it’s going to be 5 weeks with Eric out of work. We hope his first day back will be May 2. My initial reactions are to FREAK out. But there are a few ...
After our little home post, I know what you were all wondering–how could this supposedly ‘poor’ couple move into a two-bedroom townhome and furnish it when all they owned beforehand...
I’ve been meaning to get around to post pics of our new place for a while. But well, you know how it is ; ) Considering how often I complained about living in the shack, I would just like to sa...

I’ve blogged for almost 3 and half years now. I had another blog before this one and that’s how I met my husband. Blogging has always been a way to document my life–a sort of person...

I know we still have a ways to go until we are debt free. And it is most likely that we will need to incur debt in the next few years because we will need to buy a car, and save for a down payment an...
