Great Vacation Spots -- What's Yours?

My DH and I just came back from Aruba and I'm still trying to get back into the swing of things. This was our second trip to Aruba and it is one of our all-time favorite places to go on vacation. We love it because there really is nothing to do except

I Love TV

By Kathleen And I'm not afraid to admit it. I do try to limit the amount of shows I watch, because honestly I could watch anything. Casey, my husband, helps with that a lot. He was never a big TV watcher -- he was one of those kids who was only allowed

Could this really be possible?

By Jeanine So yesterday I went to the doctor to get tested for diabetes. A few months back, I was explaining these weird things that had been happening to me and my doc suggested I have the test. I put it off at first, due in part to the fact that I HATE

Hybrid or a Vacation?

by Katie DH and I are going to buy a car. This is definitely something I don't know much about. Growing up, if my parents needed a car, they bought a new one right from the dealer -- and then they drove it into the ground. But my husband grew up with

Finding a Good Doctor?

By Anja Do you have a doctor you love? How did you find him/her? I thought I was all settled in and living a routine life in New York until I came down with an achy fever last week. It's the first time I've gotten really sick since I moved here just over

Small Talk

By Jeanine If you've been keeping up with our blog, then you know (1) I recently moved into a new apartment and (2) I am in a bit of a financial pinch right now. So given my money situation it's probably not surprising that my new digs are a bit sparsely

Tourist in your own city?

by Katie I have to admit: I have a small obsession with the Statue of Liberty. I don't know what it is -- it could be the freedom she symbolizes and the historical significance of people coming to this country -- or that I grew up 3 hours from it and

Community Q&A

by Katie Heather is on vacay (Aruba -- I'm so jealous!) so I thought I'd post for her. Since I know we're still having trouble with the new community, I want to use this post to answer some questions I've seen some of you asking. What was wrong with the

Will a Baby Break Up Our Friends?

by Kathleen My good friend just announced that she's pregnant. She's the first out of our friends, which isn't surprising because she was also the first to get married. I'm so excited for her and her husband, but it's definitely raising up some anxious

Is It Just Me?

By Jeanine Is it just me or are birthdays a little under-whelming? I turn 23 in two days and while it is nice to have lived another year, I have to admit that for me, birthdays aren’t what they used to be. For years, I bought into the hype that you had

Favorite Weekend Activities?

by Katie It seems like DH and I are always sooooo busy on the weekends. We're either away together (weddings, visiting parents, visiting friends) or one of us away for some reason -- or we just have so much to do at home, that we barely sit down and relax

Multi-Tasking Momma

By Lori My mom and my grandmother would laugh hysterically if they could see me right now... baby strapped to my chest in a Bjorn, Bluetooth hands-free headset on my ear in case I get a phone call, blogging on my laptop with one hand while eating lunch

Our New Community

By Heather By now you probably have seen some of the changes we've made to expand our Community offerings. One of the goals of this project was to unite the Knot and Nest communities so that as you move from Knottie to Nestie, you don't have to start

Gym Rat

By Anja My BF bought me a membership to New York Sports Club for my birthday last month. And not only has joining a gym become a complete motivator, I am completely addicted to working out. I simply love putting on my old high school cross-country T-shirt

2 Better Than 1?

By Jeanine After revealing one of my biggest fears last week in the blog and getting such positive feedback, I am on a blogging high. I feel like I can ask or tell you Nesties anything! So, this week I have a question – and it’s fairly revealing, so no

Is your DH a wimp?

by Katie prelim note: if any of you saw that your blogs were missing (ours are too!), we're working on it! I'm teasing about the wimp thing (sort of!). DH and I recently looked into disability insurance . Basically, if anything happens to him, I can't

Nanny 911

By Lori This week we hired a nanny to take care of Cooper when I head back to work at The Nest. It is going to be hard to leave his cute little face in the morning, but I'm also not sure I am SAHM material (and those of you who are, I bow down to you!

How honest are you with your friends?

By Heather I'll be the first to admit that I have some trouble with confrontation. I'm a "keep the peace" type person and will often let things slide that bother me, especially when it comes to our friends. What ends up happening to me is that
