I love, love, love our new electric water kettle. It is so useful. It boils water quickly and with just the turn of a switch. If I had to advise one item that every house should have, it would be an electric kettle. And there are so many cool designs!
The biggest bit of [...]

I just visited our local Target and there’s a huge new display of outdoor, beach, picnic, and party goods by everyone’s favorite entertainer, Cynthia Rowley. You can find a fair amount of it on the Target website here, but I found lots of stuff that isn’t on the website when I went in person [...]

A wedding gift arrived today: the Williams-Sonoma Popover Pan!
For any reader who’s ever had popovers, you know that these eggy baked concoctions are pure heaven on earth. I did a little jig when I saw what was inside the box (which I’ll get to later), and immediately whipped up some popover batter.
THIS PAN IS AMAZING.
I’d [...]

I arrived home today from class and there was a big cardboard box on our front porch! When I opened it, I realized it was the FREE 8″ nonstick frying pan from Calphalon that I got for simply registering for $600 of Calphalon products on our Williams-Sonoma registry! It’s gorgeous! Perfect for frying [...]

We are trying to find an everyday china that we can throw in the dishwasher and the microwave. The problem is: I have found very little that is microwave-safe that I also like to look at! Here are the top contenders (please feel free to leave your comments/opinions):

Happy New Year!
I know at least two of my friends got engaged over the holidays, so I’m guessing that there are more than a few newly engaged people out there. Congratulations!
This vacation was registry mania for me - We augmented the one we already had, and set up two others. The winner out of the [...]

Maybe it’s that I have two gianormous papers to write so I’m in a bit of a mood, but this post is going to discuss one of my suspicions about this whole wedding process… Please excuse the negativity by looking at these lovely illustrations from Bonnie’s Style Press.
I’ve discovered that a lot of wedding magazines [...]

We got our Christmas tree yesterday! It’s a really fragrant fraser fir, and I absolutely adore it. My fiance’s decided it’s a “she,” and says stuff like “She’s leaning a bit to the left.”
(a nice Martha Stewart tree)
One thing that hits you when you move in together and decide to commit to spending [...]

A few months ago I made a demo registry on a site called www.myregistry.com because it sounded like the coolest idea!
The service basically allows you to create a website registry for items taken from any website out there. No more “pick this store, pick that store” but rather just “pick this Tiffany vase, pick that [...]
