The Family Vacation GWP. The Final Destination

Well, I can’t say the Family Vacation Group Writing Project was hugely successful. It came as a shock because I thought the prize of $1 per participating post was incentive enough for entrants to help drive up the final dollar amount.

The Traditional American Vacation

There are just a few hours until the end of the Family Vacation Group Writing Project. I’ll be watching carefully to see if anything else comes in. I am very glad that the tenth entry has arrived in time.

My Husband & His Mother-in-Law

There is only one relationship in the world, that I am not directly involved in, that worries me. That would be the relationship between my mother and my husband.
Now, the whole mother-in-law, son-in-law thing is pretty well documented. Mostly it’s a joke, sometimes it’s sad, but the stereotypes are everywhere. As surprising as you may […]
