2014 is almost a memory and 2015 is almost here! I love the beginning of a new year. It’s a breath of fresh air and a great way to start off on new adventures. It’s also a great way to look back and celebrate the last year. So, let’s look back, shall we? My First […]
Stop Asking When We’re Having Babies: A Plea from a Military Spouse
When I was single, no one ever asked me the two questions most women in their twenties get asked repeatedly: “When are you getting married?” “When are you having kids?” I flew below the radar of stunningly awkward questions.

Two months ago, Jo, My Gosh! crossed the 100,000 pageviews a month threshold, and I began really thinking. This blog started out as a hobby– a way for me to kind of shout into the void and see what came back. Or at least it felt that way. It was never really my goal to try for […]

How to Create a Healthy Care Package in 5 Easy Steps
Compensation for this post was provided by Starkist Tuna via MSB New Media. All opinions expressed in this piece are my own. Just a few months into John’s deployment, sequestration went into effect.

39 Painless Ways to Save Money
I hate couponing. There. I said it. In a world obsessed with extreme couponing and gigantic shopping trips that cost $3 and saved 97% of the bill, I know I’m the odd man out. Some of it comes from laziness– I don’t really feel like cutting stacks of coupons every week. Some of it comes […]
