We do things a little bit differently here in the city… My friend Kristin had the wonderful idea of gathering at her apartment in Brooklyn to build gingerbread brownstones, apartment buildings, etc. in the spirit of the holiday season. While we may live hours from our families, it is ever so important to get together [...]

Living in New York City we’re often asked “how do you go grocery shopping?” This is definitely one of the top five questions asked of urbanites from non-urbanites. It’s a legitimate question since food is a basic necessity and all. We’re not sure what our questioners expect, but most likely it’s some sad tale of [...]

No, we do not need to head to Central Park with an axe to get a tree in New York City! As soon as Thanksgiving passes, the Canadians arrive and set out their trees on street corners throughout the city. Fueled by whiskey and the repeat button on their CD players, the trees are sold [...]

No, there’s no Owen Wilson or Vince Vaughn. This is a different sort of crash that ended up costing us $1,000! My husband and I recently decided to do a little renovation project in our apartment. After much debate, several drawings, and lifting the same pieces of furniture about nineteen times, we had re-arranged the [...]

I truly believe that my husband and I have the same programming as bears when it approaches wintertime. As soon as the temperature cools off and the leaves start to change, it becomes time to prepare for hibernation. The following is a list of items that I find us doing in the Fall, just like [...]

Long after the wedding, there’s a lingering item on my To Do list… to finally make the decision whether or not to change my last name. Earlier this month, it was reported that Heidi Klum would legally change her name to her husband’s after four years of marriage. If Heidi can do it that way, [...]

Our single friends love our husbands, but sometimes they want a girls night. Fine by us- we love quality time with the ladies! The problem is that a “girls night out” isn’t always specified ahead of time. When do you plan to bring him along and when do you go your separate ways? Here’s a [...]

“Well, it’s great! We live in a 600 sq. ft. one bedroom apartment in the most expensive city in the world! Babies are the FURTHEST things from our mind as we try to climb the corporate ladder. In fact, it’s a lot like unmarried life, except now relatives don’t blush when they realize we live [...]
