Girlfriends

Can women be true friends?
With all the discussion in the HHC forums over the past five years, more than marriage, more than children, the subject of ‘girlfriends’ comes up over and over. Making friends is hard for housewives and keeping them is even harder. Why? Why are women so hard on each other? Just look [...]

Light a fire in your marriage

So many women say they just aren’t in the mood. They are exhausted from cooking, cleaning, and taking care of the children. That is true. But the bigger truth is that your husband and you simply aren’t connecting. How many times a day do you touch each other? Does he kiss you [...]

Don’t turn your back

How do you turn off of your children? When does a parent say, ‘they are on their own?’ Now I am not judging any parent because I can only imagine the pain it takes to turn your back on your child, but I have to ask who then becomes responsible? Is it me? Is it [...]

Love and Money

Did you know money is the number one issue couples argue about? Not sex. Not the in-laws. But the all mighty dollar. It’s very sad. Over the past eight months I have heard one story after another.

Growing Pains

A friend recently told me how worried she was about her 14 year old daughter because she is acting out so much. She is slamming doors, screaming, and saying horrible things to her parents like I hate you! When I told her, ‘welcome to the club’ she said, ‘OMG thank you for being so honest [...]

Disgusted!

I just can’t believe that in a suburban neighborhood in Ohio a woman was raped right on the side of the road, screaming for help, making eye contact with drivers as they drove by… and none of them stopped to help her. A 911 call has been being played on the news [...]

Staying Positive

Wow it is hard not to get depressed watching the mess in Haiti. It must have affected me more than I realized because I suddenly am finding myself fearful for myself and my family. I know we often watch misery on tv but this day in a day out is a constant reminder of how [...]

When is it enough?

The American people have come to the rescue once again. President Obama has donated 100 million dollars to the relief efforts. On top of that the American people as always so generous are texting donations and so far 45 million has been sent. So that is 145 million of American money. On top of that [...]
