DH and I are closing on our first home together on Friday! After negotiations he finally said it was OK for me to decorate our guest bathroom in a Harry Potter theme (hey...it'll one day be the kids bathroom). I have some ideas but wanted to see if...

And asked me to teach personality psychology this summer at my alma mater!!!! I'm about to graduate with my Master's degree in General/Experimental Psychology in May and I can finally teach my own class! Oh I'm so excited!!!! I was a TA for research...

My career goal was always to he a college professor, so I started a Master's program right after undergrad with the intention of applying to Ph.D programs after. It took about 6 months to realize that I didn't want to get a Ph.D. Being near family is...

Hello all! I found out that one of my closest family members is going to get engaged on the 5th! I want to do something super special for her. I was going to make her a planning binder because that's what she did for me, or I had an idea to put a...

2 years ago I went to London and Paris for a 10 day study abroad trip. I became friends there with one of my best friends and she was a BM in my wedding. All year she has been working her butt off, saving to go to Europe again and she's leaving...

The only damper on the whole wedding experience was my in-laws refusal to accept me. My DH and I have been dating since we were 14 years old so it's not like anything was new. They hate me because I'm not Dutch and because I'm Catholic which is...

Since it's Wednesday and I'd rather be in Jamaica than at work...lets talk about fun things in beautiful places! At our Sandals resort in Jamaica, we climbed Dunn's River Falls and swam with dolphins! On the falls, this little boy was a total trooper...

Apparently my bank can't change my name (even though I have my marriage certificate and have already changed it with Social Security and DMV) without my husband's signature since it's a joint account. Ugh. I've spent 2 lunches already waiting at the...
