Yesterday on WeddingBee.com, I came across a couple’s itinerary for their honeymoon to Italy. Amazingly they took nearly the exact same trip J and I want to take! I got really excited and started some maniac research on hotels in Rome, Florence and Venice. Thanks to the itinerary I found, we might also add Naples/Capri,… Continue reading 2007 November | Somewhere in Middle America

When you buy a vat of blueberries at Costco, you have to be creative with how you use them so that they don’t go to waste. We recently had some leftover blueberries, which inspired J to make some of the yummiest blueberry buttermilk pancakes I’ve ever had.

On Saturday I schlepped my camera around the city to document my day. I took over 100 photos. Read my day in the life post on EADL (don’t worry – I only included about 9 photos), and be sure to check out the rest in the series. It’s so interesting to read about the similarities… Continue reading Military Wife | Somewhere in Middle America

Thanks to my friend Katie of wonderful one times one for contributing this guest post! PJ and I met in orientation on our first day of working at Penguin Publishing in New York.  Little did we know, we would be sitting next to each other in the same department for the next year.  Our lives,… Continue reading Guest Bloggers | Somewhere in Middle America

Although I may have been guilty of committing these offenses in the past, I’m reformed and now find myself completely annoyed by bloggers who use expressions like “my darlings,” “my lovelies” and “dear readers” when addressing their followers. It’s a bit pretentious, no? Also, I don’t  understand the use of  “bebe” or “bebes” instead of… Continue reading 2010 March | Somewhere in Middle America

Sometime around midnight on Saturday, as J and I were driving back to Omaha from Atlanta (where we spent Thanksgiving), our car collided with a deer on I-29 in Missouri. The car was severely damaged, but J, Briscoe and I were unharmed. We were completely shaken up, but we were unharmed. I can’t remember ever… Continue reading 2009 November | Somewhere in Middle America

The evenings are getting cooler, which means that fall is just around the corner. It can’t get here soon enough! When it does, I want to wrap myself up in this shawl. (via Bliss) I love the idea of tea towels, but I’ve heard they aren’t as absorbant as regular terrycloth dish towels. So besides… Continue reading 2008 August | Somewhere in Middle America

According to this Rolling Stone article, Adam admits to having fake dreadlocks. I’m shocked. I really had no idea they were fake. Did you? His dreadlocks — which he has always freely admitted are hair extensions — are fascinating up close. They’re so incongruous with the rest of his appearance (“I’m a Russian Jew American,… Continue reading 2008 April | Somewhere in Middle America

I spied this mirrored stool via Absolutely Beautiful Things, and it reminded me of the geometric prints Banana Republic offered earlier this season (which are currently on sale here). For more on geometric prints for the home, check out this post on Decor8. images from Banana Republic J’s been under the weather, so we’ve spent… Continue reading 2008 March | Somewhere in Middle America

In the same year that J proposed to me in Boston, the city where we both went to college, the Boston Red Sox won their second World Series in four seasons. It was their 7th World Series win. The win last night also ended a seven-game winning streak that began in Cleveland with the ALCS. … Continue reading 2007 October | Somewhere in Middle America
