A high daddy needs lots of reassurance and attention, just like a high maintenance woman. They BOTH can be co-dependent, people pleasers. Watch out for these signs:

With the stresses of everyday family life, work and kids, you may need to take your mind to spa. Rejuvenate, change perspectives, breathe, let go. When I read this book years ago, it changed my life. Maybe it can do the same for you?
Here's a quote I love from it:

What does one do when you just don’t have time to cook? Make Time!
Everyone has the capacity to make time to cook.
You certainly make time to go out and pick up something to eat everyday, so why not take all that time and go grocery shopping and cook at home? Once again, the busy mom realizes that taking care of business includes taking c…

This works for moms who don't have time for the spa. I would give this to dad too!
No more halos or darkening pigments of skin as a result of creams that promise to remove discoloration. Last Spring, I had some dark marks near my toes from winter boots and heels. I used…

Sure, there are mommies with great, fun hobbies like knitting, golfing, swimming, running, and others that are safe and make them feel productive.
But whenever anyone chooses a hobby they usually has a motive. A hobby should add to your already building repertoire of excitement and mast…

This is the short list as I am sure there are more.
But when a baby daddy wants to marry, there are no guesses. It’s clear when you two can sit down and politick about it. If any of these signs are familiar perhaps its best to reflect on the matter. When I hear about some baby mamas who are furious or hurt by their nonmarrying baby…

If money is an excuse, then stop. You can get married for as little as $50, which is the cost of the marriage license. Ask yourself, what's more important. The pomp or the circumstance? Well, definitely the circumstance! Check out these tips:

I absolutely love this article I found about eloping to Las Vegas and still being able to have delicious cake. What's a wedding without a cake? It doesn't have to be flown in either because with proper planning you can find places near by that serve great cake. But not just a wimpy slice, but something big and filling. This is just another way you can cut costs on your wedding!
There's a p…

Last week as I was finishing up part #2 of my blog on Family Mission statements; I heard a newstory about husbands on NPR. I realized that there was a new nickname out there for men that make less money than their wives and it pertained to me. Alpha Wives, guess what I’m a Beta man, and you might be married to one too. You what might be shocked that I am ok with it,…

If you're a mommy or a daddy, a part time business can really put that extra change in your pocket for family vacations or can be the beginning to a new family legacy. Don't let this economy slow you down.

This book touched on the "war" in America against men and boys. It highlights disparities in communication, education, and social treatment and adjustment of boys compared to girls. It explains how most funding goes towards programs for girls, when in reality, boys are the ones in trouble. What happens when you have a nation of troubled boys (later men)? Chaos.
Here's an excerpt from Amazon.…

Now that you have sat your partner down and hashed out how each others needs can be satisfied, it’s important to create a vision statement.
Sometimes we view marriage like going on a cross country trip. When we first set out on our destination, we make sure the car is cleaned, and polished, and running prop…

For the last few weeks things have been hectic, slowing down, but still hectic. My calls weren’t getting returned (which never happens!) and emails were piling up because I wasn’t doing much responding juggling being an author, writing, teaching others, and stuff.
