Quite often Jason and I decide to have a nice romantic dinner together. No music, no television, no internet, no phones… Just him and I, having a nice, slow enjoyable dinner where we catch up on our day and our week. We simply sit together and share a meal or wine, great conversation and a kiss here and there. It sounds so small and maybe even cheesy but that quality time with your loved one can be so relaxing and incredible. Jason and I are both extremely busy people but we have made it a point...

Have you ever checked a text while you drive? Or glanced over at your phone to see who is calling while you’re on the highway? I have always thought that I was amazing at multi-tasking.

If you are still texting and fiddling with your cellphone in the car, you might as well be playing with a gun! Oprah recently aired a shocking show about how...
A newly wed couple, friends of ours, found mice in there house. They are extremely hygienic, (the couple that is), so I know it is not because they have a dirty household. The mice just decided to move in. A whole family of them found their way into a column in the house. I find mice to be so adorable. I have Cinderella (good old Disney movies) to thank for my love for mice. According to my hubby, and a few articles I read, mice can destroy the house. They can damage food and food packaging they can chew up the electrical wires...

Personally I feel that sometimes they don’t get the edges and corners of rooms as well as a regular wet mop or vacuum even. Jason swears by the Swiffer but I am still on the fence. Now they have a new Swiffer vacuum that I must try out! What do you...
Is what a buddy of mine said to his wife while all the men in the room silently agreed! Are diamonds really a girl’s best friend! Some girls really love their diamonds and feel like princesses when they get one. My question is, does everyone get an eternity ring and if so, when is it the right time for one? Another thing the girls mentioned last night was the concept of a push ring instead of a push gift! Are we moving towards a push ring?
