The inner thigh gap
My daughter and I were taking a long walk this morning (yep, I got over not talking to her) when the subject of the inner thigh gap came up. She tells me that guys are mad for it and there are facebook sites dedicated to the inner thigh gap. Who [...]
Happy Father’s Day
I was going to do one of those self congratulatory posts for my first back from my unplanned blogging bludge break. This is what I had in mind. Gorgeous filtered photos (I got an iPhone while I was gone). There were going to be glamour shots of a [...]
Your domestic skills are wanting. So what?
