Lately, I’ve been having these dreams…romantic dreams. Not sexual, just romantic, but painfully romantic. You know, the way romance felt when you were a super-hormonal teenager, and just a fleeting glance from your crush could send you into a tizzy? Those kinds of dreams. I’m sure it’s my subconscious’s way of telling me that romance [...]

“So, what are we doing for Valentine’s Day?” My husband has been nervously asking me this question every couple of days for the last week. “I don’t know. We don’t have a babysitter, so I guess we’re staying in this year,” I respond, casually. I know J is feeling anxious because this is one of [...]

This is usually the time of year when I start to get a little…panicked. My husband’s birthday is just around the corner, and I’m once again desperate for gift ideas. Why are men so tricky to buy for? Why is it sooo impossible to find unusual gifts for men? He doesn’t need another tie (in [...]

Divorce. It’s something you don’t want to even consider when you get married. You get married thinking, “That won’t be us. We won’t get divorced.” And then, a few years go by, and you start to realize that if the divorce rate is 50%, that means half of your friends won’t stay in their marriages. [...]
