Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry’s standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book. It has survived not only five centuries, but also the leap into electronic typesetting, remaining essentially unchanged. It was popularised in the 1960s with the release of Letraset sheets containing Lorem Ipsum passages, and more recently with desktop publishing software like Aldus PageMaker including versions of Lorem Ipsum.

There are many variations of passages of Lorem Ipsum available, but the majority have suffered alteration in some form, by injected humour, or randomised words which don’t look even slightly believable. If you are going to use a passage of Lorem Ipsum, you need to be sure there isn’t anything embarrassing hidden in the middle of text.

2013 Finalist About.com

Nominated for Best Marriage Site…Again!

Something pretty cool just happened and I’m so excited to share it with you!  A few days ago, I learned the readers of About.com (one of the top 100 websites in the world with over 36 million visitors monthly) nominated the Happy Wives Club for the Best Marriage Blog/Website on the web…again!  This is the same Reader’s Choice award we won last year because fabulous readers like you took the time to vote.

What’s ironic about this year is many of you learned we’d been nominated even before I found out!  With so many active and wonderful readers of HWC I should have known. But I didn’t.  I saw a message on the About.com Twitter feed telling people to go to their site and vote for the best marriage websites on the web.

The message indicated they’d announced the top 5 finalist and were encouraging everyone to narrow that five down to one.  Since we’d not been notified, I assumed we didn’t make the cut this year and another marriage site must have swooped in and knocked us out of the running.

When I went to About.com to cast my vote, I realized not only had we been nominated but had been named a Top 5 Finalist!  Somehow the notification letting us know we were a finalist ended up in my spam email folder (darn that Norton anti-virus).   Of course, as soon as I saw we’d made the top five, I cast my vote.  Imagine my surprise when after casting my vote, I learned we were in the lead with 60-percent of the vote.

No, really.  That is six-zero!!

How’s that even possible when I didn’t know we were a finalist?  Well, you must have somehow known because someone’s been voting.  So now that it’s official…let’s vote! The rules are simple.  You go to this website and vote for the Happy Wives Club as your favorite marriage site/blog.  And then you do it again, and again, and again, each day until polling closes on March 19th (you can vote once every 24 hours).

Thank you for being such amazing readers, family and friends (yes, even the hubby reads HWC).  Because of you, we continue to grow -well beyond my wildest hopes and dreams- and it’s because of this growth we’ll be introducing the all new Happy Wives Club site next week (finally, a website that’s not a template :) ).  And with the launch of our new site, we’ll be giving away an all-expenses paid trip (yes, even airfare) to Disneyland in Anaheim, California!  Finally, a vacation that will allow you and your hubby to simply be kids again.

More to come on this unbelievable giveaway next week.  But for today, thank you for taking the time out of your day to vote!  I’ll update you on March 27th after they’ve announced the winner.

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

Why I Love My Husband (the never-ending list):

177. He went to visit a friend of ours in the hospital today to interview caregivers for her in spite of his hectic schedule.  He’s just that kind of guy.

178. He finds peace in my presence (amazingly, even when I’m chatting away).

179. My dream has long been to have a view of the water from our home.  And although we got a much smaller place than one might expect for a man of his size (6’4″, 240 lbs), we just moved into a place with a fabulous view (tight quarters but we’re both so happy here).

Why I Love My Husband

Dear Mom

Dear Mom {Why Your Conversations Are So Important}

On a radio interview yesterday, one of the listeners posed a question in the chat room I’d never been asked.  She wanted to know where I saw this club 25 years from now.  I must admit, that question initially threw me for a loop.  That might explain my simple response.

My hope is in 25 years, the Happy Wives Club would have changed millions of conversations around the world.  Giving women the confidence to unapologetically speak highly of their husbands and marriage, not worrying if it seems as though they are bragging or boasting, but recognizing that marriage needs a positive spokesperson among the deafening chorus of negativity.  If our children are going to have any chance of enjoying this beautiful gift called marriage, we have to do our best to pass it down to them in a way that is untarnished.

When members of this club find ourselves in the middle of a group of women who are husband-bashing (sadly, the favorite pastime of so many) or speaking negatively about marriage, my greatest desire is we would be the ones to interrupt that conversation.  That we would be the type of women who will push back on all the negative chatter.  When it gets to a place where almost everything you hear about marriage is downbeat, it’s time for a group of women to counter that.  And I believe we are just that group!

So thank you for helping us change the tone of marriage around the world.  It will take a whole lot of people to course correct at this point, but I have no doubt we can do it.  You + me + 999,998 more women changing the conversation worldwide.  I began this journey searching for one million women just like me who love marriage and adore their husbands.  Business women, housewives, entrepreneurs.  Those who have given birth to every living creature and truly make the world go round.

We are a group of powerful women who just happen to also be in love.  So let’s talk about that.  Let’s live that out.  If women are able to sit around and talk about how terrible marriage is -for hours on end- you and I have every right to speak about the flip side of that coin.  We’re not bragging or boasting, we are simply sharing our positive marriage experience.  And we should never ever feel the need to apologize for that.

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

Why I Love My Husband (the never-ending list):

174. We are moving this weekend which can be extremely stressful.  And I have 4 events over the 2 days we’re moving.  That is tough.  Keith has taken care of almost everything so I wouldn’t have to worry.  

175. He sleeps…beautifully.  Even when I’m on the computer in the middle of the night -just a few feet away- typing up a storm.

176. He loves me.  Completely.  Daily.  Never assuming the love he gave yesterday will be enough to carry me through today.

For those like me who love to travel, have a bit of airline mileage under your belt, our new TRAVEL section may be perfect for you.  No matter if you arrived by plane, train, or automobile, if it’s a place you think our readers might want to go, we’d love you to write about it.

Do you and your husband make unique and creative DATE NIGHTS a weekly affair?  Does ENTERTAINMENT for the entire family float your boat? If so, writing for these sections could be right up your alley.  If you think YOU would be a great fit, Apply Here NOW!  Qualifications can be found at the top of the application form.

 If your plate is full at the moment or don’t think these topics are right for you BUT you know of someone who might be a perfect fit, please share this link with them and encourage them to APPLY NOW.

Until tomorrow…make it a great day!

Why I Love My Husband (the never-ending list):

171. He never makes me feel bad when I make bone headed decisions.

172. He holds me up when I’m feeling exhausted and inspires me to continue.

173. He wraps me in his arms when I’m down (as I was yesterday) and lets me know that tomorrow will bring about a new day and that new day will bring about greatness.
