Great list with alot of truths to it.
We nned a break from blogging regularly or we lose our passion for it I find.
In my house I cook and my wife loves it, we share responsibility, that is what a marriage is. Nice to see you have a real man who understands the importance of that
I know too many guys who think all housework is woman’s work…they need to get into the 21st century lol.
Bacon, cheese and chocolate…mmmm…fondue night
All my best to you and your family and reader’s in 2010.
Great thoughts!
Yoou have a fantastic blog.
I learned that I do not have to go all out decorating for Christmas to make it festive. Christmas is more about your husband,dog, family and friends. The media blows the real meaning of Christmas wy out of perspective. It needs to be much more simple.
I learned I do not have to get everything done. Now I just have to put it into practice and live by it.
I learned I do not have to be ecerything to everybody. I need to be true to myself and by abiding by that it means more to my husband, and friends.
My husband and I wish you and your family a healthy happy 2010.
