Same here! I found it in ‘08, my senior year of high school. I loved to read old issues of Martha Stewart Living and Real Simple c. 2002—still do!—and CoJ continues to scratch that itch so beautifully.

And since she lived in the city without kids? Yeah, me too. Can we call it growing up on the internet together?

Same! I started reading it at my first “real” job in 2008. It’s a real feat that Joanna has a. kept the blog so successfully and b. maintained that incredible community feel!

Same, same, same except for me it's been since my 20's (I'm 43 now). We've lived many lives!!!

Same - the only one standing still after all of these years. Been reading since pre-kids (my kids are slightly older than joanna's) and before we both got married - it's the best!
