My husband and I are comfortably BORING

May 28, 2017 by Melissa Chapman Leave a Comment

I love my husband; he makes me laugh. We enjoy sitting next to each other on the couch watching episodes of All in the Family, munching on frozen grapes and drinking tea. Writing this, I realize a person on the outside looking in (like my 16 -year-old daughter) might view our marriage, social life and our time spent together (the majority of which is spent in our living room) as quite anti-social … [Read more...]

Celebrate Mini Milestones in Your Marriage with Verizon #FiosNY movies and TV

April 21, 2017 by Melissa Chapman 6 Comments

This is a sponsored post. For the past 18 years of my marriage ( not including the ones I lived in sin) each night my husband  has NEEDED to play a sports radio channel the entire night in order to lull himself to sleep and then to Stay asleep.

Four Ways Having a SON Has Helped me to Better Understand my Husband

April 18, 2017 by Melissa Chapman 21 Comments

I’ve been married for 18 years and with my husband for 20 years. I met him when I was 23 years old and while I truly believed I knew all there was to know about men, the bottom line is I knew NOTHING.

Why Older Dads Kinda Rock my World

April 5, 2017 by Melissa Chapman 11 Comments

My husband waited until I sort of pushed him-(just a smidge) after dating a mere four months to put a ring on it- as in my finger. He was 38, never married and had I not "suggested " we get married  I'm convinced he would've been quite content to sail through several more years with nary a trip to Tiffany's to scope out the princess cut I'd  been hinting I wanted since our second date. See I … [Read more...]

My dad’s death has bestowed me with an unexpected gift; clarity

January 21, 2017 by Melissa Chapman 21 Comments

I've been patiently waiting, waiting for some sign, some totem, something that would speak to me and provide this proof that my dad was settled in some sort of after life. I was raised religious and so, I guess my idea of afterlife is heavily influenced by those teachings-- but after 43 years on this planet- I've come into contact with so many different versions and ideas, that I'm no longer sure … [Read more...]
