How Nintendo Can Strengthen your Marriage
Parents of small children everywhere lament the loss of “adult” conversation.

The day my husband joined Twitter.
I don’t know how I feel about this. And in fact, he didn’t even tell me he did; I found out on my own by checking recent followers. Turns out, he saw all the fun I had tweeting away during the Super Bowl, and decided to sign up. Ya know, I’ve convinced a lot of…

I’m slowly realizing how much I photograph food
It has been pointed out to me by a certain Instagram friend who shall remain nameless for her own protection, that I share a high volume of food-related photos. Ahem… This week’s set of #iPPP pictures – while, in fact, food-themed – documents food prep and dining of a much different caliber than fried pickles….

Fried Dill Pickles are a delicacy. Outfits like this are totally acceptable. Even when the power goes out, we still Git Er Dunn. Every good Southerner has their own headlamp, ya know. And this?
