The First Kiss

Dec 09. 2011

I always have a television show on queue to watch whenever I get some downtime and need to zone out, or when I am having trouble falling asleep. And these days, that show has been The Wonder Years. (image source) (Never watched The Wonder Years? Go do it now. It's on Netflix streaming!) I have watched and enjoyed the entire series when it first aired between 1988-1993, and re-watching it now, twenty-or-so years later, I still love it the same for its nostalgia, sentimentality, humor, and ageless themes of love, friendships, and family. I have rooted for Kevin and Winnie as a couple since I watched my very first episode, and remember being sorely disappointed to discover that, on the very last episode, they ultimately...

Guest Post: Lifelong Partner, Lifelong Travel Companion

Nov 22. 2011

Today's guest post comes from someone whose blog I have been enjoying since my own blogging days on Xanga: Ray, otherwise known as jigg. Ray recently celebrated a kickass BBQ wedding and is fresh back from a European honeymoon; after all this excitement he is currently on a short blogging hiatus, but was kind enough to contribute a post for my blogging maternity break. So sit back and enjoy! One thing I have always wanted to do was travel the world. Many people I know also want the same thing, but only 1 or 2 of them actually tried to make it come true. A few years ago when I was single, I thought I had to see and travel as...

Guest Post: Whatever Happened to Thanksgiving?

Nov 21. 2011

As much as I love the holidays, I'm the type to get irritated to see Christmas decorations up in public or to hear holiday songs on the radio before the month of December. So it comes as no surprise that I nodded in agreement as I read the following guest post from contributor Terri — Thanksgiving really does seem to get the short end of the stick this time of the year! What do you guys think? Do you gloss over Thanksgiving in favor of the December holidays? Or do you look forward to Thanksgiving with as much enthusiasm and excitement as Terri and I? Whatever happened to Thanksgiving? This is one of my favorite holidays by far, but I've been noticing...

Guest Post: Real Life “Sitcom”

Nov 18. 2011

Today's post comes from Scottie Ann, whose life as an Army Wife can be viewed at Kelly Stadium. Reading this post resonated with me — having just given birth to a baby, your hormones are everywhere, you are sleep-deprived, and the things you've found enduring about your husband can start to annoy you to no end. But after this? I am reminded once again that we love each other despite, and sometimes BECAUSE, of our faults. And this tough post-partum period? It too, shall pass. :-) Enjoy this post — I sure did! Since Aj deployed, I hate to admit, I have had a lot more TV time then I used to, or really should. Although, I tell myself it's ok since I am...

Claire Meets Aerin

Nov 02. 2011

She was not very amused. If anything, she seemed a bit scared and intimidated. And when she saw me holding her little sister for the first time, she started to cry. :-( Her grandfather had to take her away and distract her with some ballons so that she wouldn't throw a fit right there in the hospital room. Ever since I got pregnant with Aerin, people have been telling me that our two girls will grow up to be the best of friends. I can only hope and pray that they are right....
