I know it's most important that YOU love your DH, but I do think whether or not your friends like your mate is a big deal. I went out to dinner last night with my best friend and her new boyfriend. I love him. He's amazing, funny, and great to be around.

Our bed is made every day, but I am not the one who actually makes it most of the time. DH is a super neat-freak and makes the bed each morning -- complete with artistic throw pillow arrangement! I help make the bed on the weekends. Something so simple

My ex-boyfriend of four years texted me this weekend to see how I was and if I wanted to get together for dinner. I was shocked. We haven’t really spoken since we broke up nearly seven years ago(!) I’m assuming he either 1) is getting married and wants

By Paula Today is not my favorite day ever... Point 1: I got stuck in the elevator for about 20 minutes on my way to lunch. Point 2: Nest Jeanine (my coworker/deskmate/lunch partner/friend) is gone, and I'm lonely. Point 3: I'm think I'm developing seasonal

By Anja Last Sunday, my guy and I were alloted a plot in the community garden across the street from our Brooklyn apartment. It was all his idea to get involved, but knowing how excited he was, I went along. So there we were standing over our little plot

By Paula I talked to my parents last night, and they told me all about their Mother’s Day weekend. On Saturday, they had an early bird watching class, then took a walk to the farmer’s market, where they picked up some new flower bulbs and fresh ingredients

With Mother's Day just around the corner, I'm sure many of us Nesties will be hosting the obligatory brunch with the ILs to wish MIL a happy Mother's Day. How do you address your MIL? Do you call her "mom" or use her first name or something else? I call

By Paula Since I started working at The Knot, I've been trying really hard to branch out during lunchtime. Up until a few months ago, the only decisions I made were a. what kind of soup, and b. banana or bagel on the side. But then... the unthinkable

By Nest Riann We may be the only couple on the planet who hasn't succumbed to a flat screen yet. I tell DH that the minute our big, hulking Sony box dies, I'll take him to Circuit City and he can go hog wild. But last night, something changed in me. DH

As a matter of fact, I already have! After getting turned away from a sold-out open mic night, an evening out with some friends inadvertently turned into a mini-tour of Manhattan's gentleman's clubs. I had been to strip clubs before (oh those wacky college
