this post is by Devia Patel (guest post) I love watching shows about travelling since I’m a huge travel lover. I’ve been known to go to different places regularly. One of my favorite travel shows to watch on satellite tv is about a guy who goes all over the country to find out more about […]

Travel programs in TV are helpful to about the places worldwide and the viewers and interested travellers can share their views too.

wow
had to do a double read!
totally missed the “GUEST POST” part!
LOL
I love the travel channel.
these days, i live through them…
just pretending i am going all these places!
If you are looking for a stroller that is lightweight and very affordable, The First Years recently released a line called the Ignite™ Lightweight Stroller, which features a premium Euro style frame and 50 lb. rating (making it ideal for extended use). Of course, it has the basic safety features such as a 5-point harness, […]

a good stroller is a necessity! this one looks efficient and stylish
-
Looks like a great stroller to keep in your truck for quick outings! And I like that it is small like an umbrella stroller but has a basket like a bigger one!
-
I wish there was such thing as a light-weight double stroller; I need a double for my little ones . . but would love something as lightweight and durable as this Ignite stroller. (sigh)
-
Looks really nice! 🙂
-
I might have to look into this one. DD is too big for a lot of them, and most I see that can handle her size are expensive. I don’t want to spend big dollars on something that will only get used a dozen or so times, but would come in handy for some outings.
-
This is the type of stroller I need to get for my nephew. He started to walk a few months ago. I plan on taking him on lots of trips to the Zoo and park and this sounds perfect!
-
That looks like a really nice stroller. I am glad those days are pretty much behind me though 🙂
-
Light strollers are a must for me, nothing big a bulky. Sounds like a great stroller for moms
-
that looks awesome, I wish we had found one like that when Taylor was born- too late now lol
-
Nice! I always appreciate when I stroller has taller handles. My husband is 6’8″ and there are so many strollers out there that are uncomfortable for him to push.
-
I’d like to have a single stroller again, but it doesn’t make sense when I still have two to ride. Double strollers are so bulky, even though they are very nice to have for carrying extra stuff.
-
I like the style of it! I am so sick of big bulky strollers, I need something lightweight.
-
My double stroller is very light (from Maclaren- the twin techno…it’s lighter than my single Bumbleride!)
I have stairs, so light strollers are a must.
-
That looks like a great stroller for my two year old during soccer games this year, since now that I will have TWO kids playing soccer on FOUR different days my two year old will get sleepy and need a place to relax. Thanks for this amazing review!
-
Sounds like a great lightweight stroller.
Lately I keep hearing people say that the most important thing in a relationship is trust: you should be able to trust your spouse no matter what, and if you can’t, you don’t have a real relationship. Really?? Then why do we often hear that the most respectable of people sometimes have affairs? You know, […]
-
I agree. I can say there are several areas i don’t ‘trust’ my husband and he will admit that i shouldn’t. ie money management. so we’ve found away around that. and when trust is lost, and it was greatly in our household, then by the statment that you MUST have trust, that should have implied we should have ended things. but we are working to regain that trust and it certainly isn’t easy but you have too much respect for our vows to simply walk away.
-
So true!

I have a female friend that hangs out with male friends by herself. Sometimes it’s just her and one or two other guys. I’m sure it’s innocent but I personally don’t find it appropriate. People do get tempted and it’s more likely to happen if you yourself in a compromising situation.
-
I think trust IS key to a marriage, BUT I think it goes hand in hands with other components of a married relationship — components that are ALL key to having a “successful” marriage.
I think being able to communicate with one another, making time for each other, making a point to be affectionate with one another . . . it all goes into creating a relationship where each partner mutually respects and trusts the other. I don’t think you can have “trust” without having all the other pieces in the mix.
-
If her husband is ok with it, I guess that’s that. If he isn’t though, and she does it anyway, she is disrespecting him (no matter how innocent the friendship).
-
I like the point you brought up…trust comes in many forms, and so does respect (money issues are a biggie), and trust can be rebuilt when, for example a husband is not 100% forthcoming about a money issue, both partners realize there is a problem and agree to work on it. Respect for each other means being upfront about money too, and a spouse who makes a money boo boo shows respect when they realize their error and are willing to work on it.
-
I have a friend she was O.K. with her husband having friendships with female friends at work thinking it was all about work but unfortunately he did cheated her… where can you draw this line. He was working to a retail company where he meets a lot of people he did took the opportunity to cheat with multiple partners. she was heart broken but she has kids and stays with the same person. He says to her that he has changed but can she trust him. I personally think it is not going to happen.
Can people change… I sometimes think there is a possibility but depends on the individual… -
I’m old fashioned, but I don’t think people *need* friends of the opposite sex. They can have friendships, and they can be platonic, but since it’s not necessary, unless you were friends with someone (platonically) before you met your spouse, and are more like family, why *make* friends of the opposite sex when you are married? I’ve never had a man (married or not) seek my friendship as an adult who didn’t at some point express romantic interest. Men don’t really want to be friends with women they find unattractive.
Women need women friends, and men need buddies. They don’t *need* friends of the opposite sex for anything.

This is a great article! I’m not religious and I think the covenant marriage is a religious thing, but I feel pretty much the same way about this issue. If you pick the right guy and watch his behaviour and his values then you have a solid base for your trust after marriage. If your husband cheats, you have nothing to base your trust on. Maybe he can slowly begin to win it back, but he does need to accept that your trust is shattered.
You can have a normal career and social life without disrespecting your spouse. Going for lunch in a group is perfectly respectable, but there is no need to go to a colleague’s apartment to chat in private, or to go on a weekend break with a friend of the opposite sex. I don’t normally do those things and I’m a single woman. I value my own dignity and reputation too much to do those things without a good reason.

Wow…this is great food for thought! At first blush, I felt your opinions here were a bit harsh and politically incorrect; I have male friends that I used to spend a lot of time with, whether just hanging out or going camping and spending weekends with them. I say I used to do this because out of respect for my LOVE I no longer do. It’s not that he doesn’t trust me or that there any real concern of infidelity, but that it is a matter of propriety and the fact that it *could* create some discomfort for him. Ultimately, it is RESPECT that allows trust to grow in a relationship. I respect him and his feelings, so however unfounded his fears might be, I won’t put him (or myself) in a situation that might cause suspicion or uneasiness. He gives me the same respect, which makes me respect him even more. It’s a lovely self-generating cycle!
A great post from somebody who is clearly in a respect-, trust- and love-filled relationship!

I agree with this 100% – not that you can’t make friends of the opposite sex when you run across them, but you don’t NEED those opposite sex friends.
I will say, I grieve for the lost freedom/easiness with one of my very best, dearest friends who is a male. It’s complicated since when we were in high school I liked this guy, but now we are both very happily married. Recently their family stayed at our house overnight, and we shifted around the entire household into the “wrong” rooms to sleep, so that my friend and I could stay up and talk in the most open, central room of the house to avoid the appearance of evil (and temptation, should it have come to that). Having to be all careful not to just plop down on the couch next to my friend and talk took lots of concentration and soured the meeting somewhat — but out of respect for my husband, and his wife (who, by the way, is also a dear friend), the old way of being able to hang out is gone. And it’s tough.
Earlier, an incredibly strong earthquake (with a magnitude of 8.9!) rocked Japan and crippled Tokyo, with over 20 aftershocks continuing to cause extreme devastation. The result of this massive earthquake led to a tsunami in Japan that is sweeping across the country, carrying homes, cars, and people. It is unbelievable! It’s considered possibly the worst […]

Isn’t this just so heartbreaking? It’s amazing how fast something like this can happen, and the ripples….who knows how far they’ll spread?
-
I’ve been browsing the pics coming through Yahoo and they’re just horrific. The report I read said this quake was the 8th largest since recording quakes began around 1900. Unbelievable.
-
So sad 🙁
-
I was listening to this in the car all morning – it is so sad. I feel so sorry for those people to go through all that they have.
-
It is devastating. I have been glued to CNN.
-
I just saw this on Fox news today and couldn’t believe it. They were talking about possible nuclear meltdown if they can’t get them cooled off. I am praying, but not sure what to pray, ya know? Just saying, “Dear God, work how you know to work. Do what you need to do.”
-
This is been so hard to watch. Just so much death and destruction. It’s so sad.
-
It’s so incredibly heartbreaking to watch the devastation on the news 🙁
-
It’s all just so sad ;(
LOL, too funny!
Ha ha! That’s a good-naturedly way to parent. It always strikes me as odd and I cannot understand why some guys want their boxers (or worse!) showing, not attractive at.all!
LMAO I Love it.
That’s hilarious! My mom used to go up to boys that would come over to the house and pull their pants down if they were hanging too low.
LOL! Love this!
LOL — when I was teaching, I had parents who had a similar approach to their teen parenting styles. It worked for them!
too funny. this is huge in our area and makes me crazy
i love it!
That technique might just work!!! So funny!
hahaha!
on the radio today they were talking about kids and allowance, saying how they hate the saggy pants trend – so if their son wants to wear his pants like that HE has to earn money to buy them because his dad wont.
Haha too funny. Drives me crazy with kids pants down to their knees
Well, that should do the trick. 😉
That is hilarious!! Please say my sons do NOT ever wear their pants like that! They are 2 and 4 now!
Hahahaha! I love it!
LOL!
LOL! Love it 🙂
LOL! Love it!
Bwhahaha! That’s hilarious!
now THAT was funny
