Do you do something a certain way, or have a little tip or trick you think is no big deal… then you tell someone and they smack their hands to their heads in an I-Coulda-Had-A-V8 moment…? …And then you realize you were kind of on to something that woks great, but isn’t necessarily common knowledge…?

Make your bad photos work to your advantage.
I love photos! One of my favorite items to use when decorating my house is photos. I have never been one to line the hallway with my kids’ school portraits (not a criticism if you do it… to each his or her own…). We haven’t had a whole lot of family portraits taken (the last […]
How my morning walk got me in trouble with my husband.
I have been a Dorito eating, margarita sipping, sedentary sloth all summer. Handsome Hubby and I agreed that starting in August, we would jump back into an exercise routine and start walking each morning. August 1st, at 6:00 a.m., I reluctantly put on my shoes and off we went. We took a route through the neighborhood […]
Gratuitous bragging about the men in my life.
My dad taught me how to use power tools and to stand up for what I believe in. He taught me that things are often black and white and there is very little room for gray areas when it comes to strength of character. He gave me my first beer. He’s a fabulous dad to […]
Prince Charming was late… but he eventually showed up.
Don’t tell him I said this, but I am the luckiest girl in the world to be married to my husband. There is no one else on the planet who “gets me” the way that this wonderful man does. We just fit… and we balance each other so well. He’s an amazing man. Watching him […]
It’s a good thing he’s so fabulous…
Scene: The front porch. Handsome Hubby is getting ready to leave for work. We briefly touch on some of the things we need to do/buy/pack for our upcoming camping trip. Me: “I need to pick up a couple of things at Kohl’s… like a rash guard for Grant, etc.” HH: “You already bought a rash […]
A love letter. To a father.
OK Dear Readers… a first for me. Please give a warm welcome to my first ever, guest blogger… My Handsome Hubby, or as you may know him: HH. This is his message to his father for Father’s Day: Dad, More and more, as I raise my boys, I find myself thinking of the same scenes […]
My husband keeps my feet warm.
I have said before that my marriage is based on love, trust, respect… and the laughter that can come with totally screwing with the other person. Sometimes it is a big thing. Sometimes it’s the little things. Once when Handsome Hubby and I were out to dinner (at a very nice restaurant) we ordered a […]
Always carry a corkscrew, and the wine will provide itself.
I love can’t live without enjoy a glass (or two) of wine each night. What I really love? Sharing a bottle of wine with Handsome Hubby. Whenever we do this, I consider it a special occasion. Therefore, each time we open a bottle together (and finish it together) I save the cork. I keep them […]
It’s Planely obvious…
(As you read this, please remember that one of our boys is named Mitchell….) Grant and Handsome Hubby were playing with some toy planes. Many of them are replicas of WWII war planes. As they were playing with them, HH was telling Grant the names of the planes (i.e. “This is an A-10 Warthog” or […]
