This weekend, Matt and I had dinner with our friends Spivian (Spencer + Vivian), who recently returned from their honeymoon in Greece (lucky ducks). We caught up over Japanese tapas and, as I do with every newly hitched couple, I asked the obligatory question:

(What are you supposed to talk to married folks [...]

The other day, my friend Jenny was like, “Girl, you need an asprin.” And I was like, “Huh?” And she was like, “Cuz you have diamond fever.”
Crap, is it that obvious?

BlogHer and JCPenney offered me a $300 gift card to buy holiday gifts at JCPenney. All I had to do was blog about it.
Um, OKAY!
I was super excited to do this. Shopping? I like shopping. Free? Oh, I like free. So on a lazy Sunday afternoon, I slipped on a dress (gotta look cute for [...]
