Just because your kids are small doesn’t mean you get to postpone teaching them good values. It’s a necessary task to teach your young children to say please and thank you, to say excuse me and to be polite. Good manners are good to have, and the earlier a child learns them, the better. However, […] More
Having kids is the most fun my husband and I have ever had. It’s also the most stressful, most exhausting, and most frustrating thing we’ve ever done. We like to think we are good parents – and that the happy, well-behaved (most of the time), intelligent little girls we have say a lot to corroborate […] More
We’ve all heard the old clichĂ©s. Your mom said them to you growing up. Your boss uses them in meetings. Your sister spouts them off like she’s Oprah. You say them to your kids and you use them to make you feel better. However, you probably don’t put much stock in those. I’m here to […] More
It never fails to amaze me when I encounter someone who doesn’t do something, won’t wear something, won’t go after something, or makes other decisions based on what other people might think of them. Really, who cares? I simply do not understand why people are so concerned with doing what they think will make everyone […] More
Being a good friend requires more than just getting together for girls night, calling each other up to brag about new jobs/boyfriends/raises, and lending one another great clothes.

Some couples can’t handle this kind of pressure and the wedge it puts in between their marriages, and their marriages fail. Other couples make it a point to stay close without any […] More
A strong relationship is one that will stand the test of time. It will stand through difficult times, good times, and in between times. When people ask me how my husband and I have managed to keep our relationship so strong after 11 years, I tell them it’s because we’ve been to hell and back […] More
Now that 30 is approaching for both my husband and myself (next year) there are things we talk about and things we think about. Fortunately, we both feel that we’ve done everything we wanted to accomplish (plus a LOT more) at this age so we’re good there. We, like most people, spent a lot of […] More
I always think about my house before the cleaning lady comes over to clean. I wonder if I straightened up enough. I wonder if there is anything anywhere that would make me go, “ew” and I wonder why I even bother to use a cleaning company considering I am an anal retentive neat freak who […] More
When you are in between 20 and 50 it seems as if your choices for clothing are slim pickins’.  The clothing in most stores seems either too old or too young. You don’t want to look like a granny but you don’t want to look like a teenager either. After dealing with frustration over this […] More
Many people find that marriage counseling works for them. In fact, I could name several couples that I know who have been through marriage counseling and found it beneficial and others who I think need to call a marriage counselor stat; but I won’t. The fact is, for those with marital issues – and those […] More
Getting ready each day, whether it is for bed or work, means you spend a lot of time on your beauty routine. Most women have a long list of things they do each day before they leave the house and each night before they go to bed. These things are often time consuming and sometimes […] More
