While March stormed in like a lion weather-wise for the majority of the country, it slipped in like a lamb for me. When I realized yesterday what day it was and how much there was yet to do for the rehearsal, rehearsal dinner, ceremony, and reception, my pulse quickened and I felt faint. 
I reached for […]

With the media swarming around political and celebrity couples every day, we seem to see divorce, abuse and cheating splashed on the pages of every gossip magazine on the stand.
We still know that it’s wrong, but to see it all over the place makes it seem as though everyone is doing it.  Well almost everyone […]

This weekend Will and I are heading to Savannah, G.A. to celebrate the arrival of our nephew!
I have been oddly very excited about the arrival of my nephew. While I want four rugrats of my own, I am not a baby/kid person. My sister and cousins all were within just a few years of me […]

My fiancé and I never wanted an extravagant affair when it came to our wedding; a book we bought asked in the first few pages what words we wanted to be able to use in describing our wedding and we had several modest choices: ‘simple,’  ‘comfortable,’ ‘elegant,’ ‘traditional,’  ‘relaxed,’ and-the one I thought most important-‘us.’

This past week was boring.
Not to say that we didn’t enjoy it, but our weekdays were filled with work, school, the gym, trying a few new recipes and cleaning the house for a Friday night guest. Nothing special. 
When the weekend arrived and Friday was gone, we woke up Saturday morning and made homemade whole wheat waffles, […]

In the world of dating, whenever the phrase, “We need to talk,” comes up, both women and men generally anticipate an upcoming conversation capable of destroying a warm and comfortable relationship within just a few short minutes. Men, in particular, seem to cringe at this little statement and try to avoid it at all costs, […]

I have had two friends (we’ll call them Ann and Katherine) who have been my best friends since we were six years old. We have been through countless boyfriends, arguments, softball championships -you name it we been through it together.
Having been the wilder one in the group throughout our teenage years, when I moved away […]

There’s no doubt about it - long-distance relationships are hard. While I’ve never been in one myself, I have attempted to establish one in the past. Unfortunately, it ended before it even started the moment I realized how impossibly difficult it would be for me.
But there are chicks who are strong enough to give it […]

If there’s one thing I’ve learned about guys, all of my relationship-related mistakes considered, it’s that guys are blunt.
Almost 99 percent of the time, they mean exactly what they say: there is no “reading between the lines” necessary. Unlike us chicks, guys don’t use hidden meanings. This may not be such a great thing when […]
