Just days ago you were bouncing off the walls with excitement about your pregnancy - but today you feel like you'd rather curl up for a long winter's nap. What happened? You still may be excited about your pregnancy but the fatigue is very real. Many pregnant women expect to be tired and uncomfortable in their third trimeste... More..
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Favorite sitcoms: 27 of 38
In the 80's I would have said that 'Family Ties' and 'the Cosby Show' were definitely my favorite sitcoms. Of course I was only a kid then and my tastes have changed with age. In the 90's I preferred 'Friends' and 'Frazier'. Looking at the 2000's I would now say that my favorite sitcom would have to be 'Everybody Loves Raymo... More..
Home & Garden > Cleaning (Other) Best ways to do chores: 23 of 32
The best way to do chores is a little at a time. Some weeks are awful to try and achieve this, but whenever possible, try to do a few light chores every day instead of saving all of them to pile up for you to do on your weekends. I use my own reward system. No. I don't pay myself in cash, but I incorporate doing something I ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Fantasy & Science Fiction Favorite Harry Potter books: 12 of 16
Picking a favorite in this series is quite difficult. I applaud J.K. Rowling for being able to make each book more complex and always in tune with the age of her main characters. As an adult, I stepped into this series when the third book had already been written. I saw the movie on a whim and immediately bought the first th... More..
Entertainment > TV Genres & Trends Best current television series: 78 of 103
My vote for the best television series on in 2006 would be "How I Met Your Mother" - which is currently celebrating its second season on CBS. This series has a lot of the same elements that made the hit series "Friends" so popular, but with its own quirky and unique twists. Marshal is a misfit law student who is often bullie... More..

Great Bridal Shower Games and Other Activities When sending out the invitations to the bridal shower ask everyone to bring their favorite recipe written out on a recipe card that you mail with the invitation. Create a recipe box that is specially decorated with the bride-to-be's name-to-be on it. (Example: The Wesley Family'... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Pregnancy Ways to eliminate nausea during pregnancy: 18 of 23
The early part of pregnancy is such a roller coaster for many women. At first there is often elation - celebrating this new tiny life growing inside you! Unfortunately, this elation is often quickly competing with intense and early feelings of fatigue as your body goes into hormonal and growth overdrive - preparing for this ... More..
Arts & Humanities > Literature (Other) Readers share favorite quotes: 29 of 37
These are a few of my favorite quotes attributed to Mark Twain (Plus, my comments): Don't part with your illusions. When they are gone you may still exist, but you have ceased to live. (Amen, Twain! Keep dreaming everyone.) It is better to keep your mouth closed and let people think you are a fool than to open it and remove ... More..
Health & Fitness > Brain & Nerve Conditions Living with Multiple Sclerosis: 28 of 35
It was already a stressful time. My husband and I were trying to sell our first home, which meant a lot of extra cleaning, and that a Realtor could ask to drop by to 'show' the house at any moment. A call from the Realtor would result in a mad dash to put items back into tidy places and grab the cat and dog for a quick 'road... More..
Parenting & Pregnancy > Parenthood Exhausted parents: Creating teamwork between partners: 9 of 11
In the beginning, it was a struggle to make raising our tiny newborn feel like a joint effort. My husband had to use up his one week of paternal leave before our preemie even got to come home from the hospital - so, by the time she was home, I was on my own with her throughout the day. We had also agreed that it wasn't fair ... More..
