Women are getting unhappier, I told my friend Carl.

“How can you tell?” he deadpanned. “It’s always been whine-whine-whine.”

“Because you care,” he replied with a mock...

Don’t waste your Date Night Like I did!

It was Saturday Night and my husband and I decided that we would drop the kids off at his mother’s for dinner so we could go to a movie. It had been a while since we had a date night because of all the back to school stuff and,...

What’s your hot commodity?

I have slept on the same side of the bed forever. When I got married I explained that to my husband. Well, it just so happens that my side of the bed is the closest and best view of the television.

Over the past seven years that...

6 Year Old Friend Breakup

Am I the only adult in my house?

Is there some rule that says Mom is supposed to know every detail of the family’s appointments and Dad doesn't need to know anything? I do a very good job of marking my calendar when setting appointments, so why is it that despite sending my husband detailed emails of...

Do you feed your kids dessert every night with dinner???

I am in a constant struggle to figure out this "food" thing with my kids. I come from the school of thought not to deprive them of anything because then they want it more. So in our house I let them have whatever they wanted in moderation; clearly...

Am I alone or do you all have boxes or cords?

I just went to look for the cord that syncs up my phone to my computer. After a very thorough search, it eludes me. What I found, however, is startling.

Am I alone or do you all have boxes of cords? I have a lot (to say the...
