By Paula My friend just signed the lease on an apartment that's smaller then her current place, so we spent the weekend talking about all her Stuff. Where is it going to go, what will she get rid of, what can she keep, what does she really need, la la

By Nest Riann Is anyone else thinking about what McDreamy told Meredith last night on Grey's Anatomy? How he's not sure if he wants to be with a woman who doesn't try to "swim" (i.e. rescue herself)? He doesn't want to be the one to have to "save" Meredith

By Heather I have discovered the best diet of all this past week. Catch an upper-respitory infection. Not only do I not have an appetite, but the crazy antibiotics the doctor put me on are giving me the runs, so nothing is being digested anyway! All kidding

by Kathleen Mother's Day is still a few weeks away (it's May 13), but I'm having gift-giving issues. For the first time, we'll be celebrating Mother's Day with both families. So should we give our moms the same thing? I don't want to hurt anyone's feelings

By Jeanine I have been feeling very selfish lately. Let me explain. When I was in college, I volunteered so much. I did Habitat for Humanity, Publicolor, Relay for Life, soup kitchens, tutoring...the list goes on. Now that I am working full-time, though,

By Paula I ask because I'm hoping to meet mine soon, and I want to make sure I recognize him when it happens. I've always assumed that I'll someday marry, but I'm starting to think I'm putting a little too much faith in that "someday." **Quick background:

As crazy as it sounds, right now my BIL is riding cross-country on a vegetable oil powered bus. He is a marketing representative for NOLS (National Outdoor Leadership School) and is on tour to college campuses across the country to educate students about

By Heather I suck at trying to be a French Woman . I think the philosophy of eating for pleasure is fantastic, but I ended up using it as an excuse to indulge in cheese, chocolate, bread and wine. My progress came to a complete halt and although I haven't

By Anja It might sound a little nerdy but a week from this Saturday, my boyfriend and I are planning to have three other couples over for a dinner party to play How to Host A Murder. And I am so excited! As the hosts, we get to choose who plays which

By Jeanine My landlord is driving me crazy! Don’t get me wrong, I love my apartment, but my landlord is a totally different story. I will admit, she did warn me -- when I was first interviewing to move-in, she said she liked to “keep tabs” on the tenants

By Paula And I think the problem is with that last half hour before bed. My days are so busy, and even when I get home, I get really anxious if I’m not being productive. My life revolves around to-do lists -- even simple things like taking a shower, cleaning

I admit I am horrible at keeping a well-stocked refrigerator. Last night I opened the fridge and you know what was in it? A bag of baby carrots, Vienna Finger cookies (DH puts them in there), a red bell pepper and two pitchers of baby formula. That's

We have a lot of the chores in our household split up pretty evenly. One of these is laundry. I sort, wash, dry, and fold everything and all DH has to do is put everything away. This never gets done. The folded clothes do usually end up in drawers, but

by Kathleen My coworker and I decided that enough was enough -- we need to get to the gym asap. Though it's in the 40s here, bathing suit season is just around the corner but also being out of shape is just a downer. So we looked into getting a trainer

By Jeanine Honestly, I don’t even need to take this quiz to find out if I am over-stressed. The answer is a big fat YES! Now that Katie is gone, work is so different (aka lonely) without her and you all know about my money situation, which is a constant

By Katie Hi Nesties! I have some sad news: Friday was my last day at The Nest. The exciting part is that I'm off on a wild-Nestie-adventure of selling our home, buying a new home , and moving to a brand new city ( Boston ) with my husband who has accepted

By Lori Some of you Nesties might remember my previous blog post while I was pregnant about how DH and I are an interfaith couple and weren't sure which religion we were going to choose for our son. Fast-forward to now... Cooper is 12 weeks old and still

By Heather If you've been following any of my blog entries, you'll know I'm a bit of a fashion disaster. It's mostly lazyness on my part -- it's just too easy to throw on a pair of jeans and a shirt and run out the door than it is to plan an outfit! I

By Anja I love love love to entertain and have out-of-town guests. I like making dinner for everyone, showing them around our Brooklyn neighborhood, and catching up. It's one of the great benefits of living in a place like New York -- people always want

By Jeanine For all of you that have sibling(s), I was wondering how close you are with them. Have you always been close? The reason I ask is because my brother, who I have never been very close with, recently told my parents that he wished we were closer.
