If you're lucky enough to have boys, you already know you're not just raising kids, you're basically wrangling wild animals. From sticky handprints on literally everything to the constant background noise of things breaking, it's a never-ending stream of chaos.

People are surprising, and it’s wise in relationships to weed out what’s normal and what isn’t. Exes are also a topic of conversation. When dating someone new, there shouldn’t really be a lot of contact with exes, I think we can all agree upon that. If there ar…

In this story, the woman’s brother is getting married, and as t…

Some people find it hard to understand that working from home still means having to work. Even though you are home, you are still required to do your job, and other than not having to commute and possibly working in your pajamas, it is not so different than working from the office. My husband, for example, has a hard time letting me work whenever I work from home and he is there. He will constantly come and talk to me, sometimes even while I am in the middle of a meeting. I always have to remin…

When you marry someone, you are not just marrying them, you are marrying their entire family. This is not just a saying, this is something anyone who is in a serious relationship should keep in mind.
