Hosting a Thanksgiving dinner is one of the most challenging tasks to embark upon, especially if you invite your family. It is one thing to have a cutesy dinner with some friends and wine, but another thing entirely to have to cook for your mother, siblings, cousins, grandparents, etc… I love my family, but the thought of hosting this kind of dinner with everyone makes me want to curl up in my bed and never leave, so it would probably be a long while before I give it a try. That cannot be said…

How the Grinch stole Thanksgiving.

As much as I love dogs and believe me, I love dogs , I don't think I would be very happy if a friend decided to show up at my home with a dog without asking for my permission or at least giving me a heads up. Dogs are great, but they are also a lot to deal with, so bringing that energy to someone else's house is definitely something you should run by them first. Especially on holidays like Thanksgiving. If someone decides to host a Thanksgiving dinner, they have to get their house ready for all…

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen of the internet. Though we’re passed the hump of our precious turkey holiday, the post- Thanksgiving family stories never fail to keep us engaged after the fact.

Your Dinner Party Era Has Arrived!

Welcome, internet-lurking ladies. Hosting dinners and events is an art form. Even small gatherings take a lot of effort and careful planning; buying groceries, cooking a meal, and dealing with cleanup is only the tip of the iceberg. Good hosts must also find a suitable night for all guests, tidy the home and rearrange furniture, and ensure everyone's safety for a great dining experience. Unfortunately, in our story today, our protagonist's mother decides to actively ignore the last point, putti…

As a vegetarian gal myself, I hate being invited to dinner only for the hosts to act like me being vegetarian is the biggest inconvenience of their lives. I rather not come at all than have to sit through an entire dinner being lectured about my life choices, or worse, have to listen to countless jokes like – 'C'mon, just eat this one thing, the cow won't notice' or 'What more is there to live for other than the taste of animals?' That is why I set a rule with anyone I ever eat with–If you don'…

Sometimes, you've got to get creative.

The age-old question of whether or not men should be those who pay for dates is constantly circling the internet, and there is never a conclusive answer for it, from any gender. Some women believe it is the romantic and gentlemanly thing for men to do, and they would go as far as to stop seeing a guy if he refuses to pay for a date.
