A Wife and her “Best Friend” February 28, 2009

A wife’s best friend is yes, suppose to be her hubby…but running in a close second is the wife’s pooch! When you are lonely who comes and lays on your wife lap? When you are scared and home alone, who protects the wife? When you want to go and get some fresh wife air (and the hubby doesn’t want to get off the couch), who goes with you? That is correct, your canine friend!

Which is exactly why he or she should be treated with the all the puppy love they deserve! This wife stumbled across this adorable doggie friendly website the other day and went head over wife heels! If you are a wife with a loving canine friend, visit HomeGrownDog.com!

A Wife’s Toasters Dream Come True February 26, 2009

This wife loves using the toaster, such a handy little gadget. Great for toasting your bread for the best ever WIFE BLT! Great for making a toasty jelly spread for the AM drive. Great for toasting bagels to spread cream cheese on! So many hand things to do with your toaster, except one! GRILLED CHEESE Sandwich’s! UNTIL NOW!

This little gadget will make the wife happy and the toaster too! Toastabag lets you put your grilled cheese together, slip it in the bag, slip it in the toaster and like magic, the perfect wife grilled cheese is created! AMAZING!

This may seem like a long ways away, but this might be the next best stocking stuffer to a new toothbrush!

A Wife at Gypsyville! February 25, 2009

This wife is in love, yes with her hubby, but with The Junk Gypsy Company out of Texas. A wife can have two loves, yes? This “junk loving” site will fill your heart with gypsy love and make you want to pick up your (not very deep) city roots and move to the wide open!

Wives, head over to The Junk Gypsy Company, read Amie, Jolie and Janie’s story…then head over to their shop and melt!

So, you may be wondering, what is a Junk Gypsy? Well here it is from the horses mouth (so to say)…

What is a Junk Gypsy?

A junk gypsy is a feeling of wanderlust deep down in your soul…it is believing in the JOURNEY…and delighting in every character, creature, and experience that paves the way.

A junk gypsy takes a roadtrop just to let her hair blow in the wind…and sees more than the road ahead, she sees the world at her fingertips. A junk gypsy lives for the Wild Blue Yonder and all the wonders it holds in store. And believes that the road goes on forever and the party never ends…

A Handy-Woman (or a Handy-Wife) February 23, 2009

WEEKEND WIFE WARRIOR (on a small project scale)! This wife spent most of the weekend tackling home improvement projects with her hubby! Some may think our accomplishments were small but in our little world, they were HUGE!

Knowing that many wives assist with home projects (and if you don’t wives, get your hands dirty and learn, all those little tasks add up to valuable home improvement wife lessons), this wife thought it would be vital to share a few key lessons learned (and areas to improve on).

1) Hubby’s are great, but sometimes they need a little WIFE motivation (don’t be afraid to request the Honey-Do List actually get done, the TV and couch will still be waiting when they return)!

2) Don’t be afraid to ask questions at the home improvement store. Hubby’s like to figure things out on their own; however, wives despise wasting time, JUST ASK that is what the staff is their for!

3) Use a tape measure (at least double check your hubby’s work). Even when the wife asks “Honey, did you measure that closet space so we know what size shelving to get?” If he replies “Yeah” ask to see the measurements. Nothing like spending an hour putting together a shelving unit (that costs $45.00) to find out the hubby didn’t measure when he said he did. When questioned as to how the measurements could have been that far off, if the response is “well I kinda eye-balled it” you are heading back to the store.

4) Remember to take a break and appreciate what the wife has! So often during weekend projects, the frustration level goes through the roof. Be grateful their is a house to do projects on and their is a hubby to assist you with them (even if his handy skills are not yet to pro-level).

5) Motivated to do more! Find your home needs more than one weekend of hard work! Visit Norma Vally at Chix Can Fix for more tips and guidance!

Next time you become a WIFE Weekend Warrior, want to dress the part? Here a few sites you should visit….

A Wife and an Apron (again)! February 20, 2009

This wife can not get enough of Apron’s! There is just something so sweet and nostalgic about vintage aprons and being in the kitchen  (even if it is to make the most ridiculously chocolaty cake to enjoy all by your wife-self)!

These aprons from Carolyn’s Kitchen are sure to become a WIFE favorite! Perfect for any occasion, entertaining your guests, hosting a baking party, grilling out or maybe just surprising the hubby

A Wife and her dear HEART! February 19, 2009

This wife not only has a heart, but wants to take care of her heart. A wife heart is special… she has to carry so many things in there. A wife needs her heart to love her hubby, her family, friends and the earth. A wife has to use her heart when volunteering, making treats for the neighbors and even hosting wife parties! A wife’s heart is full of God’s love and wants to sprinkle it all over the earth. The wife’s heart is very special which is why this wife supports GO RED FOR WOMEN! YES it is important your heart is healthy so you can continue to do the things that represent you (Heart disease is the No.1 Killer among women)!

February is National HEART MONTH and your local American Heart Association could be hosting a GO RED FOR WOMEN event in your community! Visit the website to find out if there is one and when it is! If there isn’t, maybe starting one could be something good for your heart to do!

So get out their wives, make your heart HEALTHY!

A Wife and her “Fighting Irish” February 18, 2009

This wife is not sure if her great-great-great grandparents or even great-great grandparents had a flicker of Irish in them, but that doesn’t mean this wife won’t celebrate?!? St. Patrick’s Day is March 17th and if you plan to host a WIFE PARTY with all the Irish trimmings, you might need some wife tips!

To support this widely celebrated holiday, you will definitely need to provide BEVERAGES! Head over to REAL SIMPLE to find a slug of fun “St. Patty Day” themed beverages (not only will you impress your hubby (with all your beverage knowledge) but all of his buddies will be “wow”ed too)!

Corned Beef & Cabbage may not be first on your food list for entertaining, but to keep with the St. Patrick Day theme it is a must! Try a more appealing approach with a Corned Beef & Cabbage Pizza from the Food Network! It looks wife YUMMY!

Be the “WIFE-Hostess with the Mostess” when you sport this adorable Four-Leaf Clover Charm as a necklace! Not only will it bring you WIFE good-luck but also some for nice compliments from your other wife guests! This was a great find on ETSY!

Last but not least, top your St. Patty Day party off with a special FESTIVE Holiday treat! A Guinness Ice Cream Float! It looks as good as it tastes! Happy St. Patty Day Planning!
