This Week’s Miscellany: Vol. 50

April 20, 2013 By Haley 19 Comments

I had a few more posts lined up for the week but it just seemed right to keep it quiet over here. It might also be the fact that I'm almost 36 weeks pregnant and carrying a five-pound human around. Speaking … [Read more...]

April 18, 2013 By Haley 12 Comments

I had another great NFP guest post lined up for today, but I have a heavy heart after the events of the week.

The Definition of Sexy

April 15, 2013 By Haley 37 Comments

Dear Madly-in-love Newlywed, Your definition of sexy is about to change. It might take two years, it might take ten.

It’s going to sound mundane and boring to you now, but just file this away. What’s your definition of sexy? Getting surprise flowers from your beloved? … [Read more...]
