Nikolaikirche (St. Nicholas Church) is the oldest place I've been

The foundation of this church dates to 1230. It was awe inspiring to see the inside.

Confessions of a Magazine Junkie

I think I subscribe to more, but these are the ones I can list without getting off the couch.

Martha Stewart Living
Whatever your opinion of her, she's got taste and a very creative staff.

This was also discontinued this year, and what a shame, great ideas on small cottage renovation and decorating.

Good craft ideas for children.

Cookie
Good shopping ideas for children.

Cook's Illustrated

A nice diversion into the natural parenting realm.

Handyman
Projects for around the house.

Always Right

2009-02-13T15:58:31-06:00

The advice I was given was "Pick your fights." However, for me it has turned into "Is it better to be compassionate or to be right?" I often feel like I'm right (smiling) and when I was younger that was enough for me to take issue with things. But as I get older I realize that being compassionate is more rewarding that being right.

Luxury Bathroom

2009-02-13T15:51:32-06:00

It may sound weird, but my favorite room in this house is my bathroom. I was six months pregnant when we bought this house and it was totally because of the huge master bathroom with a whirlpool tub, tile shower, double sink, big closet and enough room to meditate in. I thought I would give birth in that room, but instead it was the living room, just because we needed more room for the birthing tub. Still, when I'm stressed, that's the room I run to. I can sit in there and feel calm, or take a bath and feel renewed.

My trip from Monterey, CA to Columbus, MS

I was visiting home before moving overseas to Germany. I was 21 years old; it was the first time I had ever seen other parts of the country. I was amazed by the scenery, especially the plateaus and deserts. I ate constantly and gained 3 pounds.

I'd just have a couple of sizes available in that phone booth. I've lost 60lbs and I'm still losing.

I recommend checking out Topless beach when you're in Berlin, Germany
