On Being a Dutiful Wife

They say that when a woman gets married, she leaves her family and her husband becomes her first responsibility. Is this really true and right or is it just tradition?

NOT the Best Wrappers

That’s us…year in and year out, we always struggle with wrapping Christmas presents. I have always had my sister around to do this for me but this year, she was out of town. That left J and I having to do the dirty work by ourselves.
