All too often, they aren't necessarily spilling the beans. So for today's Husband Project, I'm supposed to keep my hubby on my mind.

"Everybody wants to be somebody. The thing you have to do is give them the confidence they can." —George Foreman I've learned more about George Foreman in the last couple days than I have in my entire life. First, because we watched Facing Ali where he was interviewed. Second, he was quoted in Kathi Lipp's book, The Husband Project. Confession & Inspiration I sort of lost track of what … [Read more...]

It's true ladies (and men). Or maybe it would be better if I said a man's best friend shouldn't be a dog... if he's married it should be his wife. That's what Kathi Lipp, author of The Husband Project says. A Little FUN Many husbands, mine included, end up giving up or seriously limiting time and attention they once devoted to their favorite hobbies or pastimes.

Today you … [Read more...]
