“Guys are so hard to buy for.” How many times have you heard this or said this? Guys are hard to buy for, especially at the more modest price point. Soap on a rope isn’t really a thing anymore (remember that?) and men don’t wear ties as often as they used to. There’s only so…
People ask us for adoption advice or ask us questions about adoption all the time. Sometimes, the questions are kind of insensitive. I’ve kind of gotten used to the adoption questions, even the ones that make my roll my eyes like: “Where did you get them?” “What happened to their real parents?” And, my personal…
If you’re looking for a natural remedy to remove age spots, I have one for you that’s safe, effective, natural and the best part? It doesn’t cost an arm and a leg. I don’t love the saying “age gracefully” because there’s really not much that’s graceful about aging. And, why I’m not entirely sad about…

2018 was such an outstanding year at the movies and Disney blew it out of the water with some amazing films. My 2018 favorite was Ant-Man and The Wasp because not only am I a huge, obnoxiously geeky Marvel Fan, but because we needed that lightness (as well as a few questions answered) after Avengers:…
I am a Christmas person. I don’t love eggnog, but I love everything else about Christmas. We believe in Santa. And Jesus. The Santa and Jesus combo on the front lawn doesn’t bother me…I’ll just put that out there. It makes me laugh but it doesn’t bother me. Disclaimer: We are a participant in the…

My husband and I are in the process of preparing to buy a car. I’ll just pause for a second and let you take a few minutes to be impressed at our level of organization. You see, we have never really planned out our car-buying process. In the past, we’ve made the decision to replace…
