Carnival of Family Life #3.14159

I’m Not Good at Sharing

So, we’re working in the back yard today. A little mowing. A little weeding. And a little tending to the veggie garden. This is year two of our veggie garden, and I’m quite excited. I’ve gotten around to amending the soil a bit, so I’m hoping for an improved harvest. Last year’s was good; this […]

10 Years of Us

So, as you astute readers may have surmised, today is our 10th wedding anniversary. 10 years. It’s no record, I know, but quite significant for us, nonetheless.
I woke up thinking, “10 years ago today, at this moment, I was….” and went on from there. I thought about posting along those lines, but […]

What Do I Do That Ticks My Spouse Off?

Yeah, yeah, I know what I do that ticks him off. Wanna know? Okay, I’ll tell ya.
1. Our recent whirlwind road trip reminded me of this one. I am that annoying person in the passenger’s seat that sucks in air through my teeth and grabs hold of the dashboard every time […]

Happy Mother’s Day! Love, Your Husband

Yesterday was Mother’s Day here in the ex-Colonies, and it’s got me in the frame of mind to ask a question of all you husbands and fathers of little ones:
What, if anything, do you do on Mother’s Day on behalf of your little children?

Top 5 Reasons to NOT Get Married

#5: Really puts a damper on your dating life (should you choose to disclose to others that you are married, which I would recommend, if I recommended that you date others while you’re married, which I don’t)
