Moving After Marriage

I apologize in advance for yet another bridal-inspired rant, but I’ve noticed a trend in the wedding community that’s made my fit bottom twitch a number of times: the issue of the boot camp bride-to-be marrying and then quitting the gym like it’s a bad habit. I’m trying to figure out why in the world this [...]

How I’m Taming the Wedding Beast

I recently read an article on the Martha Stewart Weddings site that featured one of Jenn and I’s favorite spiritual junkies, Gabrielle Bernstein.

And seeing that wedding season is upon us (and because alliteration is awesome), we thought it was only appropriate to do a week for the [...]

An Everything-in-Moderation Wedding

I didn’t really want to have a wedding. I wanted to get married to my dear hubby, of course, and knew it only a week or so after our first date. But I didn’t want the big crowd, the super-expensive wedding, the attention. I’m a behind-the-scenes kind of gal, which is one of the reasons [...]
