By Lori In my circle of friends, there are very few couples where the husband and wife are the same religion -- myself and DH included. I am Roman Catholic and he is Jewish. My family was never very church-going, but we do celebrate all the major holidays

By Heather Thanks to all of you who responded to my last post about DH's sleep apnea. You all made me feel a lot better about the situation and a lot less nervous about the machine. I'll be sure to update on how things are going once the machine is installed.

by Kathleen I bought a pair of those black skinny pants from the Gap. I admit, I'm a sucker for Audrey Hepburn. But when I put them on to go out, my husband said, "I think your pants shrunk." I informed him that exposing my ankles was intentional. He

By Jeanine So I just found out that I’ll be taking an impromptu trip -- to New Mexico! Albuquerque, to be exact. Being a New England girl at heart, I was a little skeptical at first. I never think any place I visit is going to be as good as my home

by Katie The other day I was walking in SoHo to pick up some lunch and my mind got wandering, or fantasizing, you might say. What if I ran into Adrian Grenier (from Entourage)? And if there was a .05% chance that he wanted to kiss me, would I do it? Would

By Lori This past Monday was a huge day for me and DH, since we finally found out our baby's gender. The ultrasound revealed we are having a healthy baby boy! We are thrilled! If I think my DH's electronics and robots are plentiful now, can you imagine

By Heather I didn't really know what to write about this week. It's been a little hectic and what I originally was going to write about just didn't seem that important anymore. You see, last night, my DH and I received some news and I'm not really sure

By Amy I don't know if I'm a bad cook, but I'm certainly an inexperienced one. But when SO, who can cook and brought stuff like pots and pans and a garlic press into my world, moved in, we started grocery shopping and cooking, and, with a lot of help

by Kristen On Sunday, I watched my sister have a baby. I never thought I’d stick around in the room during my niece’s birth, much less be interested in everything that goes on – but I stayed, and it was certainly a life-changing experience!

by Katie This is a question that plagues me at about this time every day: What in the world are we going to eat tonight? And while I love to check out The Nest's Recipe Database (this thing is so cool -- we copied about 200 recipes from famous cookbooks!),

By Lori It's a rainy Friday morning and I'm feeling controversial. Do you think that married couples, in general, have less sex than unmarried couples? I recently heard this topic discussed on a morning talk show. The expert said that a healthy sexual

I was reading the " Making Couples Friends " article and thought that this week I would write something a bit more interactive. Think of it as a way for us all to get to know each other and maybe even make some new "couples friends" of our own! If you

I had a house husband for the summer and I completely took him for granted. He's a teacher and I was annoyed that he didn't have any “productive” plans for the summer and that his main agenda was sleeping late (which he successfully did).

In the last two months alone, I have been to two baby showers and three first birthday parties. Don’t get me wrong -- I love shopping -- but I am attending yet another baby shower next weekend and I must be honest: I am fresh out of ideas. Not only

I typically love my in-laws. And they love me. But during our last visit, things went sour. Without going into too many details, I fear I came off as a spoiled snob. And honestly, if they thought that, they'd probably be right. I just wasn't myself during

By Lori I have a lot of guilty pleasures and I'm not ashamed. I'm not sure DH knew what he was in for when we started living together, but he married me anyway and has learned to just be quiet and move out of the way when I need to indulge. Now, it's

By Heather OK, I admit it. I have no idea how to dress. I swear one of these days my coworkers are going to nominate me for What Not To Wear . I can't seem to break out of my jeans and teeshirts -- some I've had since college. I have three pairs of shoes

I've had roommates in my past who were, shall we say, “aesthetically driven,” so I like to think I can compromise when it comes to the look of my place. In spite of OH's good taste (he likes me!), I sometimes have to draw the line. SO used

By Jeanine First, the update from my last blog: The party was great! We had to relocate at the last minute to my parent’s house, but that was no biggie. A lot of the guests had never made pizza before, so it was exciting for them to create one that

By Lori The question guests ask me the most when they enter our living room is, "Why do you have TWO televisions -- side by side?!" My reply is, "So you can play video games and watch TV at the same time." My guest usually looks perplexed at this point
