I’m officially out of recipes and completely stumped about what to make for dinner. Rob and I have been eating a lot of fish, artichokes, Mexican food and pasta lately. I’m craving something new. Does anyone have a favorite dinner recipe to share?

Busy, grown-up lives don’t make it easy to keep up with the latest in the music scene. The occasional hour of MTV and mix-CD from friends in graduate school only go so far! Enter Paste Magazine, each issue of this music magazine includes a mix CD with a variety of the latest and greatest songs.…

(Oops. I forgot my camera at home, so the weekend round-up will have to wait until tonight.) Even simple things can be a challenge when you are in a foreign country. Learning how to grocery shop, mind your manners or even boil water can tricky when you are away from home. Imagine attending a wedding…

Another busy week in the city. It hasn’t gotten much quieter in our apartment, but Rob and I have figured out a method to get some sleep despite it all. It is amazing what eight hours of rest can do for you! Earplugs + a waterfall noise CD on repeat + exercise to exhaustion =…

Rob’s one year old and nine year old nephews are having a big birthday party this weekend. I asked my future sister-in-law for her suggestion on what to get the baby and she mentioned a sock monkey. How clever! So I ordered one from Amazon…and somehow missed the several places where they mentioned that instead…

I was browsing Google Images for oak leaf designs and found photos of these incredible old porch brackets. Aren’t they gorgeous!? Click here for a closer look. I think I’ll try converting this design in Illustrator to use for the letterpress wedding invitations? It would be a great tie in with the oak tree and…

I haven’t done much wedding registry work yet, but I do have a few distinct ideas about what I want. One thing was a set of nice versatile glasses that could be used for wine, water, etc. More specifically, the exact shape of glasses that made appeared in both Something’s Got to Give and Sweet…
