1. I Love Every Last Square Inch of My Cellulite All right, I admit it: I have cellulite. That dreaded dimpling on the backs of my thighs and derriere? I've got it. Is it a feature that I'm particularly proud of? Would I, say, wear a thong bikini Continue reading |
2. In Every Marriage There's a Tradeoff -- What's Yours? I love my “sugar daddy” -- madly, desperately and passionately. But I realize now, at almost 38, something I didn’t really consider at 25 when I was marrying a 40-year-old man: this age Continue reading |
3. Am I the ONLY Wife Who Hates Telling My Husband What to Do? I didn’t meet my husband until he was at the ripe old age of 38. Up until that point he had “SOMEHOW” managed (without my incessant prodding, reminding and NAGGING) to secure a job, an Continue reading |
4. My Husband Never Wants to Spend Money! This will not be a post about bashing my man… but he and I could not have more differing points of view when it comes to finances, or more aptly put: spending the green stuff. I am of the staunch Continue reading |
5. Religion and Marriage: What Happens When You're Not On the Same Page? We just celebrated the Jewish New Year, and try as I might to ignore my husband’s insistence that all religions are clearly bunk, it’s causing some stress. Religion, to him, means that you spend Continue reading |
6. I Could Learn a Few Things From My Husband (Not That I Like to Admit It!) On any given night of the week there is very little variation on this scene: The dog is barking, the kids are arguing, the dishes are precariously piled in the sink, laundry is strewn on a bed Continue reading |
7. What Makes a Marriage Work? My husband and I had a heated argument recently. This time we didn’t throw any vases at each other or break any lamps, but it was one of those arguments that made me feel better about our Continue reading |
8. Why You and Your Spouse Need a Date Night ... NOW! I always thought taking our kids along with us and rarely leaving them with a sitter was proof of what great parents my husband and I were. Rather than leave them to LANGUISH in the care of a virtual Continue reading |
9. Holly Robinson Peete on Autism, Allergies, and The Talk Holly Robinson Peete, in my humble opinion, is a super woman, although ask her how she manages to pull it all off; motherhood to not one but FOUR kids, a long-term successful Hollywood marriage and Continue reading |
10. Do You Think Your Marriage Would Be Better If You Lived Apart? I'm the FIRST to admit this: living with another human being, especially of the opposite sex, day in and day out, has its drawbacks. In fact I could probably fill up a book with all the things that Continue reading |
11. Bill Rancic on Infertility, Hope, and Keeping Things Sexy With Giuliana Rancic I’ll admit the one and ONLY Celebrity Apprentice I really followed (or cared about for that matter) was the very first season, at the culmination of which Bill Rancic was named "Celebrity Continue reading |
12. If You Want Commitment, Stay AWAY From the George Clooney Types When I was 22, I had this habit of dating George Clooney-esque guys who--while they wined and dined me and never flat out stated our relationship wouldn't last longer than a Will Arnett sitcom-- Continue reading |
13. Weinergate: Do Men Who Cheat WANT To Get Caught? Forget about Congressman Anthony Weiner -- he made his bed, and now he's got to take his medicine. While he didn't have actual physical relations with another woman, he had what most of us married Continue reading |
14. How To Get Out of Wearing a Bathing Suit This Weekend While my kids are both just itching to stash their books, don their bathing suits and run across our lawn under a sprinkler without a mere nudge from me, I am nowhere near as enthralled about the Continue reading |
15. Can a Marriage Survive a Love Child? So, the reason behind the dissolution of a 25-year union that seemed like an odd pairing from the start -- that of Maria Shriver and Arnold Schwarzenegger -- was finally revealed. The Terminator has Continue reading |
16. The "Twin-Explosion” In Hollywood: It's NO Happy Accident! The birth of twins used to be a rare occurrence, but these days in Hollywood it would appear as though every starlet and her hubby/boyfriend/ live-in lover has had or is preggers with two babies Continue reading |
17. Older Women, Younger Men: Is There Still a Double Standard? I'll admit it: I've always had a sugar daddy complex -- I actively dated men who were at least 10 years older than me in the hopes that I'd meet the one who would ultimately become my husband. I know Continue reading |
18. Charlie Sheen's Goddesses Babysit My Kids? HELL NO! If I have gleaned anything at all from this Charlie Sheen freak show, which is updated on a daily basis it’s that I need to apologize to Denise Richards. PERSONALLY. All these years I thought she Continue reading |
19. Natalie Portman to Courteney Cox: Can Men Handle More Successful Wives? In the lead-up to the Oscars, there was an inevitable dredging up of the supposed “Oscars curse” -- you know, the notion that winning a Best Actress Academy Award is a death knell to said Continue reading |
20. Help! Save Me From a Sexless Marriage! I’ll be the first one to come clean -- after 12 years of marriage, a swinging from the chandeliers, tie-my-wrists-to-the-bed-posts sex session is a rarity. I am lucky if my husband and I get to Continue reading |
