Kelle Hampton’s Beautiful Blog

Kelle Hampton is a talented photographer and blogger, and the words and photographs that appear on her blog have attracted the attention of so many people. Her photographs are stunningly beautiful, and would not be out of place on the pages of a parenting magazine, or in an art gallery. Her words are honest, and come from her heart, even when it would be easier to sugar coat what she is trying to say. Together, the words and photos tell the story of what life is like as a mother of two beautiful daughters, one of whom happens to have … Continue reading →

Keeping Your Hands to Yourself May Save You Money

I have been so frustrated with the whole H1N1 Swine Flu issue that has been going on since the spring. I’ve only managed to be able to have one of my children vaccinated, and my own doctor said that it was unlikely that I or my husband would be able to receive vaccinations either, even though I fall into the high risk category. So, needless to say, I have been trying to refrain from touching things as well as teaching my kids to do the same. If you don’t touch the germs it will make it hard for them to … Continue reading →

Is Love Conditional?

Do you love your spouse unconditionally? Or is love tied to how they look? One of the posts in the forum recently talked of exactly this- where the man was ‘out of love with his wife’ because of the way she looked. There was another post earlier in the year on a similar topic, where the man claimed to love his wife but did not find her attractive. Although it was from a man, women have encountered the same problem too. Sometimes it can be tied to what they do. Love is conditional upon unrealistic expectations or certain behavior. This … Continue reading →

Oprah’s “Why Men Cheat” Controversy

Last week Oprah did a show called “How to Affair-Proof Your Marriage: Why Men Cheat Part 2.” I don’t know if she had the “Part 2” planned or not. From the previews it kind of sounded like they did it in response to all of the responses Part 1 generated. It was the previews that caught my attention. Since I wasn’t going to be able to watch the show when it aired, I recorded it. Saturday while Wayne and I were hanging out to nurse Murph, he was flipping through our recorded programs on the DVR and saw the Oprah … Continue reading →

The “Thinker” and the “Feeler”

Posted on by

In the most recent series of articles I have been discussing how opposites start out their relationship attracting to one another but often end up in marriage turmoil due to their differences. I had begun by discussing the personality differences that some mates have with decision making. Some persons tend to make feelings from their heart while others use logical reasoning. In my last article I gave some things that likely attracted the two to each other in the first place. It would seem that with all that they admire about one another, the relationship would be great right? However, … Continue reading →

Differences in Decision Making

Posted on by

Previously I had discussed how some dating couples who attract due to their differences find themselves rebelling due to them when married. Personality differences in marriage can cause some unique decision making for couples. On one end of the personality spectrum there are mates who tend to make decisions from their gut. They go with their feelings and their heart. On the other end are the mates who prefer to make logical decisions. They think things through and ignore their feelings if they go against what their head tells them is right. This difference can often lead to heated discussions … Continue reading →

When Opposites Attract…

Posted on by

I know that you have heard it. It has been said for years. Opposites attract. While perhaps it is true that opposites do attract, the real question is can they live together happily as a married couple? While the differences may have intrigued and attracted the two of you in the beginning, after some time the attraction typically lessens. While it may seem like your spouse is truly from another planet, maybe he or she is simply just from the other end of the personality spectrum. The major problem with personality differences is that as humans we all have an … Continue reading →

Autumn in New York (2000)

Sometimes I like to review movies so I can tell you about a film I really liked and think you should see immediately. Other times, I like to review movies so I can tell you which films to stay far, far away from. This review is going to be one of the latter. Winona Ryder stars as Charlotte Fielding, a twenty-two-year-old woman who designs hats for a living. When she meets her mother’s old friend Will Keane (Richard Gere) she’s attracted to him, but he’s forty-eight. That puts things in a slightly weird category. For Will, though, there is no … Continue reading →

Does Your Mate Remind You of Your Parent?

Posted on by

Most of you have probably heard terms such as “mama’s boy” and “daddy’s girl”. It is believed, and often very true, that girls are more responsive and bonded with their fathers and boys are closer to their mothers. Noting that in a normal family setting with loving and caring parents, I often see the pattern of boys hanging on to their mommies and girls with daddies wrapped around their fingers, I began to wonder what impact this has on choosing a mate. Do we subconsciously look for mates that resemble the characteristics and personalities of our parents? Are females attracted … Continue reading →

It Happened One Night (1934)

Clark Gable felt a little grumpy when he was approached to take the leading role in “It Happened One Night.” He didn’t think it was a very good story. Claudette Colbert only took the part because it was only going to take two weeks to film, and she was heading off on vacation. What started out as a half-hearted attempt by both actors turned into the vehicle that would win each of them their only Academy Awards. Gable is Peter Warne, a newspaper reporter who hasn’t had a good story for a long time. At odds with his editor, he … Continue reading →
