Here’s the question of the day: Who is your favorite superhero? Wonder Woman? The Flash? Black Widow? Batman? Who would you pick? I have a theory about how people answer this question. I think you’re most likely to choose the superhero that you identify with. So if you asked my hubby who his favorite one is, […]

Falling in love is easy, wouldn’t you agree? Boy meets girl; boy asks girl out; girl is late for their date by an hour (and couldn’t call because these were pre-cell phone days, so boy waited patiently and may or may not have had to take care of some business in the bushes – thank

Hubby recently told me that one of his friends said, “You married a good wife.” My reaction to him was, “Huh, what are you saying about me behind my back?” and the one to myself was, Yeah, you go, girl! 😉 I think everyone enjoys getting complimented, right? We all like to feel good about ourselves and
We’ve been doing some home renovations for the past few months. Most recently, the whole family was involved in painting the kitchen cabinets. Hubby and I painted the upper cabinet doors, while the kids did the lower ones. While we were working, I remarked to hubby that we (he and I) have done quite a
