Breakfast in Bed: Love It or Hate It?

While I'm a huge fan of leisurely weekend brunches, I'm not too keen on breakfast in bed. It's because I'm kind of a neat freak and hate getting crumbs on the covers or in between the sheets. Also it just seems gross — the concept of eating where you sleep. It reminds me of being sick and brings to mind hospitals. I'd much rather enjoy a romantic Valentine's Day breakfast at the table, thank Read more

Al Franken Sends Love Letter to Wife — and to Constituents

This past Saturday was the 40th anniversary of the night Al Franken met his wife Franni. Did he send her a box of chocolates and take her out to dinner? I hope so — but the Senator from Minnesota went one better. He sent an email to his supporters honoring the occasion, describing how he met Franni, and saying that he wouldn't be where he is today without her. Here's an excerpt: "That night — Read more

Found It! Romantic Bed From July Free People Catalog

While flipping through the latest Free People catalog, my eye wasn't drawn to the clothes. Instead, I couldn't stop looking at this graceful wrought iron bed frame. The dual color tones here, with the gold on the interior of the headboard, and the rest of the frame covered in white, create a lovely effect. I also love how the model's androgynous clothing in the photo contrasts with the bed's Read more

Love It or Hate It? A Mirror Facing the Bed

After I rearranged my bedroom recently, a friend of mine said with a wink, "Oh, so the mirror's facing the bed." I hadn't even thought about that arrangement until she called it out. While my boudoir is a bit too small to try to keep the bed out of full-length mirror's view, there are many couples who find it advantageous to "reflect" on events in this room. What's your take?

Cool Idea: A Romeo and Juliet-Style Wedding (Without Tragedy)

The balcony is located on the second floor of the supposed 14th-century Casa di Giulietta (home of Juliet) in Verona, Italy. While Italian folklore claims that the balcony was part of the home of the Read more
