Design your house however you want! Make it about you and your family's lifestyle! It should be liveable and practical, displaying beauty in functional pieces of furniture/art.

And hooray for the (prospective) death of MCM! It's 2012! Make something new!

And while I'm on the topic of "making"... I'm all for DIY! That's how everything was originally made anyways. If you need a table... make it! If you need a bookshelf... make it! Maybe I'm a little more old-fashioned than most 24 year olds, but I think it's great to put your stamp on the items in your home instead of spending ridiculous amounts of money on a designer's name.

We were dead set on having a full meal at our wedding, so we made sure guests knew to come hungry! We had an outdoor wedding at a public park with a fun bbq picnic theme. Our "caterer" was from within the family, and he cooked us up the best bbq pork/chicken sandwiches, along with all the sides that go with. We had apple pie as our "cake" and for dessert. People are still talking about it.

No finger foods for me! If I have to sit through a long formal ceremony and then wait for photos to be finished before eating, I am not a happy camper when all I get is finger foods!

Sigh. There is nothing that I don't love about this kitchen. It's beautiful, and calming, and seems like it would be so nice to cook in!

First things first - the government is the problem. It's too big, and it has too many fingers in too many places. "Let's ban peanut butter and jelly sandwiches because some kids are allergic to nuts... Let's ban lunch boxes because some kids could sneak in contraband... Let's ban potatoes because some kids eat too many fries and tots, and we as the government need to control what people eat."

I'll get off my soapbox now. But really, is it necessary?
