Update: the site’s back up and running
Update: the site’s back up and running. The tech support at Media Temple said that we didn’t need to do anything to get our site back up. So we didn’t do anything, trusting they’d take care of it. Apparently, we did need to do something: we needed to bug them. Frustrated that the site was […]

Envelope Budgeting with PearBudget
We love good reviews. We go nuts over great reviews. So we were practically giddy this morning when we read Meredith (Like Merchant Ships) reviewed us, in her post “Easiest Budget I’ve Ever Made: Pear Budget.” You might be familiar with the “envelope system” of budgeting: You decide — at the beginning of the month […]
