Just because I like you guys so much, Im telling you to enter this contest to win a FREE wedding cake from your favorite bakery PLUS an autographed copy of my sisters new book! But hurry, the co...
If you were wondering, Budapest is, in fact, AWESOME. But I figured, why bother just telling you about the trip when I could show you about the trip. Ok, fine, if you insist Ill ...
For the first time in my life, Im a groupie. But dont get me wrong, Im not swooning over some silly pop boy band. Nope, I started having a love affair with entrepreneurship. Ive come to love watching...
Lets be honest, I say Im basically ready to be a mom because Im missing one important thing in that equation - my own kid. SPOILER ALERT: Suffice it to say, Florian and I quite enjoy our life of leis...
The pictures say it all (hence why Im not even going to bother trying to write a post worthy of accompanying their beauty). I was simply ...
Ok, you know how when you have to do something really hard and it seems like sucha good idea to say youre going to do it later, because then you dont have to worry about it until later? Tha...
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Ive been lazy and have a lot of posts to catch up on to fill you in on my life and whatnot, but I just just had to take a quick moment to share my excitement about being back home i...
So... I think I accidentally became a writer. I dont know exactly how it happened. Boredom? Experimentation? Florian was sick of hearing me ramble out loud? I started with my blog just to keep friend...
You guys already know that Im pretty much an idiot when it comes to any kind of cooking, but this weekends cooking extravaganza  ;was klutz x2 when my sister Elana and I tried to cook mass&nb...
The Jewish version of a "Congratulations" sign... When your 8 and 1/2-months-pregnant sister asks you to come over to clean her kitchen, what other answer can you give but a begrudging (oops,...
I know its going to sound like Im lying, but earlier this week I saw speaking in person President Obama, US Defense Secretary Leon Panetta, Israeli President Shimon Peres, Israeli Prime Minister...
I think its obvious and a little bit redundant to say that my dog is adorably amazingly cute. Everybody who knows Bella overlooks the largeness of her head, the old-man wrinkles on her face, the slob...
I know that you guys know how excited I am to go home and see the babies! (Yep, plural. Did you forget my sister Elana is due in April?? If you did, you should re-read this blog post to see an a...
Youre obviously here to see the pictures, so Ill start with an adorable one. World, meet the amazing and fantastic Sofia Elena! Shes the new daughter of my best friend Kelly, which is SUPER weird for...
Admittedly, I was a skeptic when friends invited us on a trip to Wengen (in the Swiss Alps) for the weekend to go snowshoeing. Ha, snowshoeing... lame-o!!!!!! I mean, I just never got the appeal of a...
Ghandi was a pretty smart guy, so definitely worth quoting him: "You must be the change you wish to see in the world." Remember how in my new years goals & resolutions post I said I ...
You just won the lottery! Really take in the moment. Imagine the lottery ticket in your hand. YOUR lottery ticket. WON. A few million. You have enough money so that youd never have to work again if y...
I read a LOT now - you know, just one of the many job perks as a Hausfrau! Im actually really glad I brought my eReader here from my old job at Sony because it can get a bit difficult to fi...
Swoosh, swoosh... ahhh, the sound of me skiing ever-so-gracefully through the freshly fallen snow in the beautiful Swiss Alps. Ok, yes, technically I was only going down the bunny hill but those...
Dear Friends, I have been very busy (READ: lazy) this holiday week. Please accept my apology and this IOU for the following blogs that I should have posted before the new year, but didnt, but will in...
I tried chatting with God yesterday about having it snow for Christmas just enough to be fun and pretty, but not too much that the roads would be icy and annoying as we drive to the Alps tomorrow for...
Ok, so nobody yet calls me "Crafty Christen," but Im pretty sure the name will stick once you see what I made below. My new talent started innocently enough while I was perusing Facebook and ...
I mean, no big deal or anything but my brother Mike and his wife Sophias band Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling was just featured in TIME MAGAZINE!! Hold on, sorry, that wasnt impressive eno...
Lets all agree upfront that Im a hypocrite so we can move on. Yes, Im Jewish, and yes, I love, love, love Christmas!!! Not for the whole Jesus-the-Savior-was-born aspect, but more for the d...
Do you feel different reading my blog now that Im writing this as the older, more mature Lisa? You know, the one who just celebrated the 7th anniversary of her 21st birthday!? Yeah ok, not really mor...
Im definitely a walking cliché. Since I was 5 years old, I dreamed of the day when I would walk down the aisle in a beautiful white wedding gown and a tall and handsome man would be waiting...
As my plane descended gracefully through the clouds to the beautiful expanse of Manhattan skyscrapers, I excitedly turned to 24E and anxiously rambled “I’m so excited to be home, because I don’t live...
Yeah, I got a little cocky. Cooking had been going pretty well so far, we’d thrown a couple of dinner parties with 4-course meals, homemade salad dressings, and lots of kudos (accolades, not the choc...
Tell me it’s not the most annoying thing in the world when your husband is better than you are at basically everything in the world. And, isn’t it even more annoying when you bring this up to him and...
