The Angry Birds Movie out on May 20th!
When Angry Birds game came out a few years back our family would spend hours playing it together on the iPad. My daughter was about four years old and we had a blast taking turns trying to move through the different levels. We really liked the Halloween Angry Birds and Star Wars version. We can’t wait to see the movie this week and finally find out WHY the birds are so angry! What happened between the pigs and birds? I hope the movie answers this and more because let me tell you we’ve wanted to know for a long time! The movie takes us to an island populated entirely by…

Connecting With Your Spouse
“The best thing to hold onto in life is each other.” ~ Audrey Hepburn Recently, my husband and I had a heart-to-heart talk about the good and not-so-good aspects of our 20 year plus relationship. We talked about where we want to be in five years, ten years and talked about growing old together, but in any relationship, there is always room for improvement! I don’t think we are the only couple who let raising kids, work, being a good son or daughter, paying bills, and things that just happen in life, etc., , take precedence over what was most important to a healthy relationship which I believe starts by…

Believe It or Not, Siblings Can Get Along
Last month I sent my brother this meme to wish him a Happy National Siblings Day and this is the one he texted back. What a character, right?! Did you get along with your siblings growing up? My brother and I are about 4 1/2 years apart so I tended to treat him more like my baby and would take turns with my mom pushing him around in his stroller. As we got older, we would spend hours playing anything from Monopoly, Clue, Life and Atari games. Of course, we would have our arguments but it was mostly about him being my “bratty little brother,” around my friends. You know…

Whether in your home, garden or traveling, here are tips for surviving mosquito season!
Just the other day I was talking to a friend about how mosquitos LOVE me! No joke, if I am with a big group of people, guess who gets eaten alive? Yep! Not sure exactly what attracts mosquitos to one person more than another but I hope to find out after taking the Orkin’s “Buzzer Beater” blog app. During my travels through Vietnam and Thailand many moons ago, I use to have to slather on tons of mosquito repellant but really to no avail. It didn’t really matter what I put on, they’d find the areas I’d not reached and have a little feast. Do you have the same…
