[GIVEAWAY] “The Date Deck,” A Must-Read Book For Couples Stuck In A Date Night Rut

For a strong four years after we had our two kids back to back, my husband and I rarely had date nights. Sure, we'd sometimes find ourselves on the couch together at the same time on a Friday or Saturday evening and we'd pass the time by watching a movie together, but that wasn't "date night." That was "I'm tired and you're tired and these kids wore us out and my God why did we decide to have two … [Continue reading...]

What Happens When The Same Man Loves You For All Of Your Twenties

I've been composing this post in my head for the past year now, ever since I realized that yup, I'll be 30 soon and the guy that I sleep next to every night has been (and will be) here for every single day of my twenties. The twenties is a hard decade. Most people tell you that, but most people who say it weren't parenting every single day of their twenties either. It's a decade where you … [Continue reading...]

Is Your Relationship Good For You? The Simple Question You Need To Ask Yourself

Relationship "gurus" like Steve Harvey have made millions "teaching" women how to attract and keep a successful man. But to me, the mark of a healthy relationship is simple and doesn't involve a ton of books or webinars. If you want to know if your relationship can possibly go the distance, there's only one question you need to ask. "Do I feel safe?" It's the basis of all healthy relationships … [Continue reading...]

OPEN THREAD: Do You Need Your Partner To Show Their Love For You On Facebook?

Yesterday was Wednesday and as such, folks were posting their #WCW (Woman Crush Wednesdays) photos. Three of my newly married friends got a shout out from their new husbands, with each saying something sweet like, "The only #WCW I need in my life. She is indeed a dream come true." So lovely, right?

At the end, when we had 20 or so Ziploc bags full of turkey, I handed him a … [Continue reading...]

I was a little skeptical when I first saw the trailer for ABC's new comedy, "Black-ish." It looked a little corny, and I wasn't sure how much Anthony Anderson I could take weekly. He's a funny guy for sure, but would the material be his style? Would it work? Episode four of Blackish is what sealed the deal for me. In this episode, "Crazy Mom," marketing executive dad Andre (Anthony Anderson) … [Continue reading...]

My Husband Took Me To A Super Walmart For Our First Date. Here’s Why I Married Him Anyway.

I was a giddy college freshman the first time I laid eyes on my future husband. There was something about this guy that had me intrigued and I knew in that instant that he introduced himself that he would be a big part of my future. I spent the next eight months (yes, eight months) conveniently showing up to events he was hosting, participating in campus groups he ran and basically just making … [Continue reading...]
