The "Funny Farm" of the Cowles family.
NEVER LAUGH AT YOUR HUSBAND. Hubby loves chocolate milk for breakfast. Some mornings that's all he has until lunch. Yesterday, he just poured the milk into the chocolate syrup bottle and shook it up. (Btw, if you ever want to prank your coworkers this is a great way- coworker thought he was just drinking chocolate… Continue reading Never Laugh at Your Husband
I think it only appropriate that since I wrote "letters" to my girls telling them what I wanted them to know before they turned 10, that I write one to my hubby before he turns 40. Babe, I know I don't say these things enough, and I COULD NEVER say them enough, but I mean… Continue reading Hubby, Before you turn 40

He used to eat it in Kenya when he was a kid,… Continue reading Cereal Killer

Over the years, it has turned into "Get Dad!" The first summer (JULY 2010) we… Continue reading Annual “Get Dad” Days
I am blessed with a wonderful husband who notices when things are piling up around the house that I can't get to.

Snores ranging from the “rhythmic sigh” all the way to the “neighbors from 4 streets down… Continue reading How to stop the “MALE SPOUSE SNORE”
