My awesome niece, Maddie just sent me this You Tube video. It’s absolutely wonderful. What an incredible effort by the employees of this amazing hospital to raise breast cancer awareness. When the video gets 1 million hits, Medline (the glove manufacturer) will be making a huge contribution to the hospital, AND offering free mammograms for the community!!! Please check it out. It’s an easy and great way to donate to a wonderful cause, and who hasn’t been touched by breast cancer?
Okay, so I’m absolutely hooked on these. I’ve ordered them a few times from Etsy Seller Pom Love and they are absolutely fabulous. I would seriously hang them all over my house if my husband would let me. But he won’t. Because he doesn’t love paper like I do. Because he just doesn’t get it. Whatever. Anyway, they are just perfect for anything.
It’s unbelievable how many adorable toppers there are out there now. Here’s just a few:
Read this article about this amazing bride who got jilted at the altar and went on to do something truly amazing. 
Here’s a great post about how to let your family and friends know that your keeping your last name. Found on one of my very favorite sites, Offbeat Bride.
Okay, so I want to introduce you to one of my daily addictions - Crop Chocolate. Every single day they feature only ONE item and while I admit it’s sometimes hit or miss (mostly hits), today’s deal is EXCELLENT. I’ve purchased some pretty darn cool paper crafting stuff here, all at pretty darn sweet prices. I’m letting you in on this little secret today because THIS PAPER TRIMMER ROCKS. I have purchased two over the last few years and trust me, this is a GREAT trimmer. I’ve tried every darn trimmer out there, and for the price, this one is awesome. Get it. Now. Before they run out.
So I just found this slightly outdated list of “marriage manners” from a book that was published back in the sixties. So here you go, apply as needed.
1. No hogging the bed clothes!
For me this is extremely important. I love my bed clothes and I don’t want my husband hogging them.
2. Don’t read whilst your partner is asleep.
I’m guessing this refers to having the light on (or reading out loud). Hmmm, well, for all the nights my hub has the TV blaring whilst I’m trying to sleep, I think he deserves a spotlight in his face whilst I’m reading.
3. Never nag your partner, even when it is just the two of you.
Er…I don’t like this rule. I do my best nagging when it’s just the two of us.
4. Always look your absolute best.
Absolutely. You never know when you’ll run into your ex.
5. A husband must be a husband in every sense, including caring and doting.
Alright, I do admit I have a very caring and doting hub
