Duct Tape Fixes Everything!
Duct tape (sometimes called duck tape). It’s probably one of the world’s most amazing household repair tools. If it can’t be fixed with duct tape, then it can’t be fixed.

Learning to French Kiss
One of my favorite things about little kids is how their interpretations of the world around them are so much different than ours as adults.

Sex Sells and Apparently So Does “Fifty Shades of Grey”
Last week on this blog, I learned that “Sex sells.” That’s not totally true. I actually knew that, but y’all made me laugh when I hit an all-time-high number of blog viewers when the topic of last Wednesday’s blog was all about sex. You guys kill me! While I have no intention of changing…
