I love letters and word art – this isn’t new on the blog. My first big project on the blog was my letter wall! Somewhere along the way, I had bought this extra “R” and hadn’t quite done anything with yet. So when I got my new blue Target table that I love, I decided just to have it set there for the moment. I was staring at it the other day and decided while I wasn’t ready to commit {Read More}
These are our favorite Turkey Burgers. Not really because of the burgers (though we love the flavor) but more because of the Pesto Cream Cheese spread. It is incredibly delicious and perfect for the Turkey Burgers. This is also a very easy weeknight dinner. It took me only a few minutes to make the patties and about 15 minutes to cook them on the stove top. Ingredients for Burgers: 1lb Turkey Meat 2 tbsp. Worcestershire Sauce 1 tsp Italian Seasoning {Read More}
When trying to create party invitations on a budget, it can be tricky to add special little details that stand out. And I love the details. Washi Tape is a perfect answer though! Find a roll of washi tape in a coordinating color or pattern and add a small piece to the back of a plain white envelope. The invites I was working on had light pink and green pinwheels, so this floral tape fit the bill perfectly! I love {Read More}
I feel like a broken record lately, but I have been in the process of covering some of the white in our apartment. I came up with this idea because it would cover a large space but also because it would allow me to showcase some of our nerdy interests in what I consider a nicer, subtler way (instead of the big Call of Duty poster my husband hung in his old apartment). How many of the nerdy interests can {Read More}

Yesterday was Earth Day, so I thought this would be the perfect timing to share some Upcycle Pinspiration. Upcycle projects have seemed to take on more popularity lately, which I think is awesome. My family has laughed at me many time in the past year because my new moto has become: “let’s just spray paint it.” I want to keep figuring out ways to make what I already have better instead of looking for something new. (That doesn’t mean I {Read More}

I have not been very happy with Mother Nature lately. While we needed water after last year’s drought, I don’t think we needed quite so much quite so fast. Chicago has had rain almost every day for the past two weeks, and many of the neighborhoods had 5-7 inches of rain on Thursday alone. My parents’ house has flooded many times, and it is always a tiring, stressful process. My thoughts have definitely been with all the families trying to dry out {Read More}
Here is a recipe I tried Sunday night. This was my first time attempting any type of “stuffed” meat entrees, and I was a little surprised by how much I liked the end result. I decided to do rolls with thin chicken breasts instead of trying to actually stuff chicken breasts; for some reason, the process of stuffing intimidates me a little bit. I will work my way up to that attempt! Ingredients: 4-6 thin boneless, skinless chicken breasts Chicken {Read More}
I started The Love Nerds a couple of months ago when I was on medical leave. It is a way for my to share the projects I do at home – the crafts I love. It is also my first step toward starting an Etsy shop and an event planning business. Working on creative projects like weddings, showers, invitations and cards, or the projects I have shared with you bring me a true sense of satisfaction that many people don’t {Read More}
