Scaredy Cat...

By Jeanine I will resist the temptation to blog about my new apartment again this week, even though I am totally in love with it. Instead, I will blog about this on-going debate I have been having with one of my friends. Over the weekend we got into a

Who Reads Your Blog?

by Katie I've started to love blogging. We began this project a few months ago as a job-thing... a way to be part of the community we've created... but posting has become so fun, and a little therapeutic. I often forget that people who know me actually

Do you have a guest bedroom?

By Heather One of the things that my DH and I truly enjoy doing is throwing parties. I love having people over to our home for dinner and drinks and I have found it is a great way to make couple friends. We've been trying out recipes from the The Celebrity

Procrastination Methods?

by Katie Every now and then the girls in the cubes around me and I will stop suddenly -- as if there was breaking news -- and discuss something we saw on PerezHilton.com. Or, a scene from Grey's Anatomy will pop into our heads and we will have to debate

Work It Out!

By Jeanine So as most of you who read our blog know, I moved this weekend! My new place is great (aside from all the boxes everywhere) and now all I have to do is clean-up my old place a bit and I’ll be done! It’s all very exciting -- except for the fact

A Bad Case of Spring Fever

By Lori Is anyone else going completely insane from being in this frigid winter weather? It probably doesn't help that I've been under house arrest with an infant for the past month and a half and have barely been out of my apartment (taking a preemie

There's Something In My Attic!

By Heather Home ownership is amazing, although it definitely comes with its own set of problems. We have been in our house for almost two years now and we have already made friends with a plumber, an electrician, a contractor, a landscaper, the oil burner

Making friends as a couple?

by Katie My husband and I went to college together and have dated since our sophomore year. By the time graduation rolled around, we had the same group of friends. In fact, his guy friends started dating my girl friends and it became this incestual thing.

Ordering Your Own V-Day Flowers

By Kathleen I’m going to be totally honest -- I hate red roses. One or two in a mix is fine, but a dozen red roses does not make me mush. So last year before Valentine’s Day I put it out on the line for my DH. I said to him, “If you’re going to send me

Movin' On Up...

By Jeanine It must be that time of year or maybe it’s contagious, but moving is definitely in the air, especially here at The Nest. Katie blogged about moving yesterday, Kristen is moving in March, and our boss just bought a house. Like many of my coworkers,

City or Suburbs?

by Katie DH and I live in a small apartment. And by small, I mean it's about 450 square feet. There isn't a conversation we can have privately, without the other hearing. There isn't a TV we can watch quietly without the other seeing. It's insane. I think

One Month Into Motherhood and I'm Frumpy

By Lori Today is Cooper's one month birthday. The little guy is doing brilliantly and is changing and growing so much every day! It's truly amazing to watch. I wasn't sure how I would be doing 30 days into motherhood, but I had dreams of being a hot momma

Are you getting a tax refund?

By Heather We're getting our taxes done next weekend and I can't help but feel a little anxious about it. Last year, I had my hopes up that we would get a substantial refund because it was our first year of home ownership and we had all kinds of new things

Renovation!

By Kristen At the end of March, OH (other half) and I are moving! His parents own an apartment that they’re renting to us, and we are thrilled. It has all the perks of a rental (no down payment!) with all the perks of ownership (we can renovate our hearts

Picky, Picky...

By Jeanine Most people who know me, know that I am a picky eater and have been for a very long time. I have had too many bad experiences with gross food or food that tasted good, but made me feel sick afterwards to play around with what I eat. If I have

Tell or not to tell?

by Katie How much do you control the presents you get from DH? We all know Valentine's Day is coming up and this is a holiday that brings out the classic Devil and Angel sitting on my shoulder. Part of me (the angel) is saying this is just a night to

Celebrity Sightings

By Heather The people of SoHo, New York apparently think that I look like Julianne Moore and I just don't see it. A friend of mine gets this comparison a lot as well, so I'm wondering is it just a redhead thing? Do all redheads look the same to people
