You haven't mentioned talking to your DH about it. If you haven't, you should. I wouldn't blame your stress on his job, though, when you talk to him. Instead, I'd tell him that you feel stressed, and talk about things that both of you could do to help you with it. (Ideally, you'll wait to tell...

LOL! I think that another one would be that if you'd rather go tubing in Concan rather than lay on the beach in Cancun. :rotfl:

I also buy my DH's shirts at places like Marshalls, Stein Mart, etc. It can be kind of hard to find his size, so I shop often and buy them when they have them. I can get ones that are around $40-50 at a department store for around $25. I do usually just buy his ties at Dillards. They're a little...

Jacob will be 3 on New Year's Day, so I guess he'll only be 2 for a few days longer on Christmas. We've gotten him Geo Tracks. We'll need to get something else as well since he has a birthday, too, but I don't know what we'll get him. Probably just some basic toys like blocks.

We like to mix cranberry sauce and BBQ sauce to make a sauce for baking pork chops. Start with about half of each, then taste and correct. We like a little more cranberry sauce than BBQ sauce, but your taste may vary. Brush on pork chops (or tenderloin) and bake as usual. Another thing we...

I always return my cart. I get frustrated at Publix because they only have one cart return. I think that the theory is that they don't need as many since they carry your groceries out, but I don't let them do that for me. I have kids in my cart, and I don't want some teenager in charge of their...

I'm moving to Plano soon. The movers just came and loaded my stuff onto their truck today. DH is already there, and I'll be getting there in about 10 days. We're originally from the Dallas area, but not that side of Dallas. I think that the housing there is very affordable. There may be some...

I've heard from from some of my friends that they've had luck in getting their regular health insurance to cover the hospital portion (anesthesiology, etc.) and their dental insurance to cover the actual dental work. They may want to try that.

We spent a few hundred dollars ($250? 350?) on a limited edition signed print. We spent more than the price of the print on the frame. If you do get a good piece of art, a good frame put on by an experienced framer is essential. If the piece gets a wrinkle in it as it's being unrolled, the value...

Mine have never had soft drinks, but they're only 1 and 2, so that's no surprise. I don't know when I'll let them taste them. Not for a few years, at least, and they'll never have diet drinks. DH and I don't drink soft drinks and don't have them in the house, and we won't allow them to ever...

We only travel to see family for each holiday every few years. We may do Thanksgiving one year, Christmas the next, and maybe none at all the next year. We do always open our home to any relatives who want to visit us. We like to see our family, but holidays are hectic times, and we want to...

I've never dealt with this, but as a breastfeeding counselor, I've helped many moms with hard-to-treat cases of yeast. I agree that yogurt and even probiotic supplements will help. She should also cut out all refined sugars and grains out of her diet, at least temporarily. Garlic is great. If...

I like to make baskets with gourmet breads and candies. I give them out a little before Christmas so that the recipients can use them when entertaining if they don't want to eat all the stuff themselves. I wrap all of the things in the baskets creatively, and makes a good presentation...

Running water will get out the loose ones, and tape will take care of the rest.

I grew up with real trees and now have an artificial one. I actually prefer this one. It always goes up easily because it's not lopsided. I don't have to make sure I put the ugliest side up against the wall. And I'm planning on getting one that's pre-lit in the near future. Actually, I gave our...

I feel for you. I have a DS allergic to eggs and corn, and I've considered myself blessed that he isn't allergic to dairy or wheat. Wheat is a big one. One thing to be aware of is that the scratch test (or possibly RAST--I don't know which you did) isn't completely accurate. After you've done...

We frequently buy appliances at Sears on sale, but we always plan to pay to have them delivered (actually, many times the sale includes free delivery), so we've never had that problem. From what I understand, our Sears doesn't keep many appliances in stock at all. They have a very small storage...

Well, I don't see much of a reason to argue with your husband about it. He didn't do anything wrong. I can see both sides. It would have been nice if they'd offered to have bought at least 3 tickets, preferably 4. At the very least, they should be very understanding if your DH decides he...

We're in the process of moving right now. We're going to the Dallas area. It's a bit different for us, though, because we're both from the area and DH's parents live outside of Fort Worth. We did make the decision very quickly. DH accepted the job offer the Sunday that was 2 weeks ago and gave...
