By Kristen Lately, I’ve become strangely interested in The Nest’s What’s Cooking board. I love reading all of the Nestie’s recipe raves, ideas, and suggestions. The strange thing is, I hardly ever cook at home. Every morning when I leave for work I make

By Jeanine My Thanksgiving was great! It was just the break I needed. I feel refreshed and energized and totally ready to tackle the holidays. My best friend and I have already started planning a holiday shindig for all our friends at her apartment –

by Katie Over the past few months, my husband and I have chronicled our car “road tests” for The Nest, where we've actually taken a car for a weekend and driven it, writing up the pros and cons. You can read them here if you're interested.

by Kathleen We're spending Thanksgiving with my family this year and I'm so excited. Don't get me wrong, last year (our first holiday season as newlyweds) was really nice at his parents' house. But it was small. And I have a HUGE family. So I'm really

By Jeanine Do you ever just want to curl up in a ball and cry? Nesties, I have been having a rough couple days. First, there is the inherent stress of the holidays. I am in charge of desserts this year, so just thinking about how much baking I have to

by Katie Brief update: A few days after I last posted, my dad, step-mom and little sister decided not to come to Thanksgiving with my mom. They couldn't figure out what to do with the dog and my dad threw his back out, so they just decided to stay home.

By Lori Why do random people think they can say anything they want to a pregnant lady? I am 29 weeks and very obviously showing. As a result, on my daily commute through NYC I've encountered quite an array of bizarre comments... A courier riding in the

By Heather I was doing the laundry recently and noticed that my DH could really use some new clothes. I think the newest things in his wardrobe are things his mother bought for him last Christmas. The rest of it is a giant collection of tee shirts in

by Kristen Monday night, OH and I decided to go see the movie Borat , the end result of our first serious, blow-out fight. The movie, though a comedy, is sort of offensive if not taken as such. It chronicles a Kazakh reporter’s journey through America,

By Jeanine Okay, so this Sunday one of my old guy friends asked me if I was free for brunch. I told him I’d get back to him (because I’m so busy -- yeah right!), which was really just my way of buying more time to come up with a reasonable excuse to get

by Katie My parents have been divorced for longer than I can remember. They also both got remarried while I was in grade school, so having 4 parents has always been my life. Everyone lived in the same city and I passed back and forth between my mom's

By Lori DH grew up in a home that was pretty much a zoo. His mom always had (and still has) 6 or 7 cats, plus a dog or two... or three. They'd also have hamsters, mice, and whatever other furry critter needed a home. I, on the other hand, grew up with

By Heather I have a confession to make. I have had professional pictures taken of myself in the style of a classic "50s Pin-Up Girl". It seems "boudoir" photos are becoming more and more popular these days, and I know from reading

by Kathleen I just got back from a work trip to Vegas. It was a super quick trip -- just 24 hours there -- but it was interesting, to say the least, to be in Sin City by yourself. I didn't really know what to do with myself so I gambled a little (won

By Jeanine Is it too soon to start talking about Thanksgiving? We’ve started promoting our holiday gift guide , so I’m guessing no. Well, let me just say that I am SO looking forward to turkey day. I love seeing all my family and eating 2nd and 3rd helpings

by Katie I can't really think of anything to post except about how I'm feeling at this very minute -- tired and stressed out. I think I've got a cold coming on and I just came back from a very busy photo shoot for The Nest Magazine . So when I got back

By Lori Out of the blue, I heard from my pre-DH college sweetheart who I dated for five years. He knows that DH and I are having a baby, so when I got his IM and he was asking about my pregnancy, I thought it was rather nice -- until he reverted back

By Amy S. (a new addition Nest blogger who had to vent!) So, my DH and I just celebrated our little boy’s first birthday—huge party, tons of new clothes and more toys than we know what to do with. The living room we worked so hard to make

By Amy Halloween's over and my thoughts are turning to Thanksgiving. I'm spending it with SO's fam as usual. (My parents live too far away to vist them in November and again at Christmas.) I'm happy about it, but I've got two dilemmas. What to bring and
