More than that, it’s a chance to create a new home, possibly in a new suburb, with features to last for years to come.

material possessions lessens , I am able to develop a greater appreciation for those things that could never be replaced." width="600" height="340" /> “Use for yourself little, but give to others much.” —Albert Einstein When I was in middle school, I flew with my brother and sister to visit extended family . I placed a backpack full of my stuff in an overhead bin and buckled up. My favorite cassettes at the time were inside, my favorite Minnesota Gopher t-shirt, my favorite sweatshirt, and a book. After arriving and walking through most of the airport, I noticed a lightness on my back. I had walked off the plane without my bag. Despite spinning around and running back to the gate, the plane and stuff were nowhere to be found. I was a bit too forgetful as a child (heck, I’m a bit too forgetful as an adult). I forgot my fair share of packed lunches, homework assignments, and textbooks back at the house. But this moment felt a little bit different. Those poss...

Curating your wedding registry can be a potentially stressful time for any relationship. In this chapter of The Book of Life, we've partnered with Keurig® to show how your registry provides a unique and wonderful opportunity to create moments together — and how you can both get exactly what you want. My husband, Patrick, and I were together for seven years before we got married. We had already bought a mattress together, as well as a couch, sheets, silverware, and pots — the basics. So you would think that when it came time to registering we would be all-set — False! We thought we were going to be able to jump right into married life, spending our mornings enjoying the perfect cup of coffee, until reality set in and we realized we actually needed to register for a coffee maker! There were so many additions we still needed for our home, we weren't really sure where to start. We were about a year into our engagement and had another eight months to go before the big day when we ...

The privacy, comfort, luxury and extreme sanitary conditions that we associate with our bathrooms today are the result of thousands of years of civil engineering and social change. Indoor plumbing, flushing toilets , heated water, water pressure , electricity and ventilation may be features we take for granted in our modern bathroom. But all of our bathroom’s high tech gadgets had a long history in the making. Although humans have always had the need to use toilet facilities and have used bathing as a way to cleanse themselves, it took centuries for our culture to bring these two important functions together into one convenient room.
