Wow, that's an amazing story! What incredible finds. 

I found 2 Le Creuset pots with matching lids in great condition at Goodwill earlier this month. Total at checkout: $26. Steal of a lifetime! 

Just wait, 2 new seasons were greenlit for Netflix.

I’m pregnant with my second child (and have 13 month old) so I have learned a lot in last year. One thing I learned is to not buy too many diapers advance because you never know when your little one will have a growth spurt and no longer fit in their diapers. Some stores will allow you to exchange one size for another…

I had to purchase a last-minute, off-the-rack clearance wedding dress from David's Bridal due to the fact that I bought a beautiful vintage dress online that did not fit me and would have cost $500 to alter. Luckily, I loved the new dress and it fit well enough to walk out with it that same day, no alterations needed.…

To ease your (or anyone else's) fears of having twins, it is not true that twins skip a generation: http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/02/health/02real.html?_r=0

This is Toby the bunny, the best rescue bunny ever!

Bunny butts (or 'tocks as we like to call 'em) for the win!

I just had a long discussion about this with my husband. I am not naturally a wanderer but my mom definitely was when we were growing up. We moved 15 + times during my childhood and I came to love the adventure even though I longed for stability. Now that I am an adult, I chafe at having to sit still and stay in…

I too was conceived from rape.

My family had two guinea pigs: Rusty and Galadriel. Turns out Galadriel was a dude but the name stuck. I also turned out to be terribly allergic and broke out in hives whenever I touched them. Sigh...

The best cup of joe I ever had was on a tour of Guatemala. The first morning, I went to breakfast and poured myself a cup and nearly died from pleasure. Rich, deep flavors without that bitter acid aftertaste (I;m looking at you, Alterra). Duh to me, the beans were grown fifty feet from where I was eating in…

Cool—I am from Milwaukee, WI and was born a Larson then was adopted and became a Smith. Both names hover right over Milwaukee. However, I got married two months ago and my my married name is nowhere to be found.

I love finding a good deal. Tonight's find was a huge rug on sale for an amazing $25 at Hobo of all places. To quote the Dude, "That rug really ties the room together."

Exactly my thought. If the study is only testing marriages that have either continued or ended after fifteen years, then the study is not suggesting a very recent trend of cohabitation before marriage. It suggests that people that got married in the 1990s who were engaged and lived together have a better change at…

Best thing I heard all day. Consider yourself hearted.

Eh...not feeling it. Anyone else?

You are so right that it is easier to fall back to the idea that many women (like myself) need hormonal contraception to treat an ongoing condition but that isn't ultimately the issue. The real problem is that the a minority of ultra-conservative religious right are attempting to undo the women's liberation movement…

Wow, this is a very thoughtful and eloquent post. Thank you for sharing.

Awesome! Our date was Friday the 13th (more a coincidence than on purpose!). We blame the air travel for our colds. Best wishes to you and Mr. Danamere!
