  1. Great post! Your goals are right on for the family. I am reading a lot more these days...and really enjoying it. I"m also into books on tape. Working on my oil painting and volunteering at the hospital are both on my list this month. Can you tell my children are grown up and away? I really miss them!

  10. Oh how I LAUGHED at the "no WoW allowed" comment. My hubby and I actually met on WoW. I quit for awhile but he asked me to play again so I do a few hours a week. I keep it very limited. And yes, we plan date nights specifically AWAY from the computers. Our WoW time together is fun & something to do together but we have to bond without screens.

  11. I think this is a fantastic series you are doing. I love how your whole family is progressing and think the best part is your making sure that you and Calvin are spending time together. This is great for not only the two of you, but it sets a great example for the kids.
    My kids always teased Bill & I for being all "smoochie", as they used to call it, but they always would tell their friends that they knew how much their mom & step-dad loved each other and that they wanted that kind of marriage. THAT makes me feel terrific.
    You are doing a wonderful job as a mom and wife.
