It happens to the best of us. We’re handling life well until one of our kids just pushes us right over the edge. We’re no longer talking in our sugary sweet voice that seemed to be helping us keep our anger under control. Now we’re yelling and the...

It all started with a picture and comment my friend and coworker, Connie, put on Facebook. I like my little Living With Less So Your Family Has More car, but honestly I get razzed about it all the time. “What CEO drives a 23 year old car?” I’ve been...

Sex…I could go the rest of my life without it!” I said to my husband, Mark, as we drove up to the bed-and-breakfast we had reserved for a two-day getaway. “I have no desire. I’m so tired, and I can’t seem to ever meet your needs!”...

Pay for chores? Not pay for chores? Ah the debate. Over 27 years of parenting, we’ve been all over the map on this issue. We’ve done allowance, we’ve done no allowance. We have tied allowance to chores. We’ve separated allowance from chores....
