Wifely Steps

When the Oscar season comes along, my sister Patti always prints out the official ballots from the Oscars website.

Each member of our family gets a ballot each. We all have to submit our votes before the show. The prize? Well, there is no prize. Maybe a little “Wow! That was a good guess!” and a [...]

I’ve been looking forward to New Moon for four reasons: (1) It is my least favorite book in the Twilight saga and was interested to see it translated on film, (2) I wanted to see how Taylor Lautner would portray a more grown-up Jacob Black, (3) I’m a huge fan of the saga and (4) [...]

Finding a good nanny is such a difficult task. If I had a choice, I’d bring Timmy with me to work or leave him with just his grandparents during the day. The extra help is much-needed though, and so my search begins. How I wish I could get any of these nannies for my son! [...]

The book has now been turned into a film. [...]

Seeing your favorite fictional characters from a book come to life in a movie is magical. The first time Edward Cullen appeared on-screen, I couldn’t help but give a silent squeal. I think I squeezed my husband’s hand extra hard too. It was quite surreal seeing Edward Cullen in the flesh, golden eyes, grimaces and [...]

“Twilight Viewing Ediquette.” Here are ten (and a half) rules so that you and others can fully enjoy the Twilight viewing experience. It’s an amusing video by mysterytwilightvoice.
Rule #1 cracked me up: “When Robert Pattinson appears on-screen, you are only allowed one girlish scream every 15 minutes….” Hahaha! Lucky for those in the U.S., [...]
