A beautiful smile is one of the most attractive features on a person to me, and you can’t have a great smile if you don’t have healthy teeth. I’m nuts about my dental hygiene (not a single cavity yet) and I am trying to teach my son to brush as well, so he has healthy […]
How do you have fun with your family? Having family fun time (or “co-play”) is a great way to keep a family strongly bonded, children connected to their parents, and siblings close to each other. Playing together is also a fun way to blow off steam and cheer everyone up, so whether you have a […]

I missed your SITS day! Looks like you had a lot of friends visit!
Anniversary gifts are often seen as a barometer for a relationship, with romantic presents like jewelry believed to be indicative of a great marriage, and a practical gift of, say, a universal remote control meaning that maybe your husband isn’t feeling that romantic about you at the moment. Personally, I generally agree with this. I’d […]
Hubs is not a gift-giver. I let him slide since he’s always lending a hand with diapers, dishes, and anything else I need. Sometimes that’s priceless!
Your cigar story cracked me up! I’m still chuckling. 😀
I sense gifts are your love language. And your husband seems to know it well. Best wishes to both of you for years and years of wedded bliss.
Happy SITS Day! I look forward to reading through your posts when I can come back with a cup of coffee.
Looking forward to this movie. Loved the trailer.
The best portion of my anniversary gifts one year was a song that my husband wrote and sang for me while he played his guitar. We’re rarely sappy, so it was truly special. This movie looks great!
I can’t remember a bad gift…We are normally non gift givers.
I hadn’t heard of this movie yet. Best gift? I’m going to be honest that no anniversary gift so far has been very memorable. We’re not big on sentimental, romantic or mushy, though. lol
I like presents, and my husband is usually great at gift giving. He once gave me a vacuum for Valentine’s Day. To his defense, I did want a new one.
We really don’t do gifts – just a night out and a special dinner. I’m also all about practical gifts so I’m not the norm, lol.
I am practical I would rather have something I will use or need then a frivilous gift. I don’t do the flower thing. I can’t think of a “worst” gift but I remember one Valentines Day (sorry not the right holiday) that my husband bought me a pair of $100 top of the line fitness shoes because I had been complaining one day about my feet hurting.
It is very thoughtful like that, also catches those things I don’t think of when I mention I want or need something.
Honestly, we stopped doing gifts so long ago because we were trying to eliminate debt that I can’t even remember!
My husband has done so many romantic things for me. Not only on our anniversary. My favorites are the love poems he wrote me. He is a great writer, but his poetry is beautiful. This movie looks good, btw!
Poetry is a truly romantic gift!
I might have to check out this movie. Love Meryl Streep!
Haha too funny!! I always just give money.. We got a lot of people who came without gifts.. some gave money.
I haven’t received a bad anniversary gift. My husband is always very thoughtful with his gifts.
This movie looks so good! My favorite anniversary gift was a cake my husband and young sons made. They got out our wedding album and tried to recreate our wedding cake. It was a mess and I couldn’t have loved him more for the effort.
You might think this is a bad gift, but one year I got a dish washer. It was at our old house, and I loved it. Wish I could have brought it with us.
I think this movie looks so funny… and makes me think of parents! HA!
If you want to know where your heart is, look to where your mind goes when it wanders We only live once, but if we do it right, that is more than enough Absence diminishes minor passions and increases great ones, like the wind extinguishes candles and fans fires A man saves his truest and […]
We play together during family game nights.
We have a family movie night and at least one night – family game night. Usually more during the summer.
I played Webkinz myself before I had kids. LOL. Now there’s no time…until they are old enough to get hooked that is.
what adorable webkinz these were so hot a few yrs agoi love that they came out with new ones
My girls love Webkinz and I have to admit, they’re pretty fun!
We’ve played with these together too!!
I love Webkinz. I have an account, but haven’t played it in a while. My kids got me started!
My daughter would love that cat!
