Is flirting at the stoplight the answer to a happy marriage? Probably not but does it add happiness to the marriage? It sure does! Just this morning, my husband and I were going our separate ways for the day and we were next to each other at the stop light. We both...

I went to a big box store today! I had not been in this store in months. While walking around, I quickly realized why. Shopping online is so much easier, there’s no dealing with crowds, AND often it’s easier to compare prices to get the best deal!...

Every morning when I go into the bathroom to get ready for work, I have to pick up my husband’s underwear!! I think I may have just heard all the women groan… What would you say, if I said, I smile when I do it?! I smile because I don’t HAVE to pick...

I attended a High School graduation today for my sister’s oldest child. As I was sitting there watching people find a place to sit, I realized that several people that graduated with my husband and I were there to see one of their children graduate. It struck me...
