Five Friday Favorites: Secrets for a Successful Marriage
The Fab Hub and I have no business telling anybody else how to have a happy or successful marriage. We are by far not the poster children for blissfully happy marriage. That sounds awful, doesn’t it? It’s not that we’re pessimistic or that we have a lousy relationship. Perhaps it’s just that we’re a lot…
The Lunch Box Master
The Fab Hub is a lunch box master. This is pretty amazing since when we met, the man had no idea how to pack a lunch. In fact, while we were not dating, I used to bring a few extra items in my lunch to share with him since we worked at the same place…
Focus on Small Surprises
Every now and then, just when you think you’ve figured out a few things about how the world works, it throws you a curve ball. I got several this week…and the week has barely begun. Perhaps trivial, these are my recent head-scratcher moments.
Ten Things of Thankful – Interesting and Mildly Entertaining Edition
I missed doing the Ten Things of Thankful linkup last week. It’s not that I wasn’t thankful for anything…it just…never happened. Sometimes I really think in the midst of the heaviness of life, it’s too easy to forget about those little lighter moments that slip in between the big ones. So this week I have a…
When All Else Fails, Resort to Cats or Food
I’m in the middle of about nineteen things this week. I have a few great things to share, but none really requiring an entire post. And so, in the interest of efficiency, I offer you just a few quick items of interest. First, this may just be my new favorite recipe ever.
He Cooks! – Smoothie Edition
The Fab Hub sends me off to school every day with a smoothie. One day this week, my smoothie smelled horrendous. Like rotten eggs horrendous. It was so bad I couldn’t get it close enough to my face to drink it. I offered it to the BFF to smell, just in case I was imagining…
Ten Things of Thankful – Back to School Edition
It’s been kind of a crazy week. Clearly, I was in absolutely no condition to start school. I cannot remember being this tired during the first week of school. I suspect part of it was the near-90s temps coupled with like 98% humidity. Horrible. And a definite part of the struggle for me was that Kidzilla and the…
The Ten Best Meals of Our Marriage
As difficult as this is to narrow down to a mere ten, I was intrigued enough by Stasha’s Monday Listicles topic to enlist the help of the Fab Hub to help me try. This family loves good food and we have had many good meals. But if we had to pick ten of the best…
First Time at a Gig
“I’m so excited,” she said as she bounced around the kitchen. “It’s my first time at a gig.” Zilla helped get dinner ready for the two of us as we prepared to go out and hear her Fab Dad play with his jazz group. In person. Zilla’s heard her dad play before – on videos,…
He Cooks! – Scrambled Egg Edition
We haven’t had an installment of “He Cooks” for quite a while. I keep waiting for the Fab Hub to whip up his Oregano Teriyaki Chicken, but he never steps up to the plate to offer. Hmm. Guess we’ll just have to wait on that one. In the meantime, it is worth mentioning that the…
