The Newlywed Life will be on a brief hiatus as I embark on Wifey’s Big Adventure. I apologize that there is no Hump Day post today, but I will try to make up for it with something extra special when I get back.
In the meantime, I invite you to come by Wifey’s House where I will do my best to write updates and post pictures while I enjoy my special trip.
Ciao!

A Little Hip Help
It’s Fab Friday at The Newlywed Life, the day I divulge some of my fabulous finds. Websites, housewares, décor, drinks, jewelry, books; it doesn’t matter as long as it’s fabulous.
I was watching The Today Show earlier this week and discovered this…
isABelt. A clear, uniquely designed, adjustable belt to keep pants from slipping down, $16.95.
I have yet to get one but think this is a wonderful idea. It eliminates that awful belt budget that can often ruin the perfect outfit. If anyone has ever tried it, please let us know.
Here’s to a little something fabulous for everyone!

Sexy Sabotage
It’s Hump Day at The Newlywed Life, the one day a week I dish about sex. This week I’ve got a question for you: Are you sabotaging your own sexiness?
I went swimsuit shopping yesterday with my mother as I am preparing to go on a special trip (more details about my excursion in an upcoming post) and for the first time in a long time – thanks to my Fifteen in Five plan – I actually enjoyed it. I bought two fabulous swimsuits and can’t wait to wear them – in public. That inspired me to go home and dive into my closet to search for outfits for the rest of my trip. As I reached past my usual work-from-home, take-the-kids-to-practice, workout gear I found a closet full of stylish, sexy clothes and shoes waiting for me to rediscover them.
Gasp! Have I been sabotaging my own sexiness? While I’m not guilty of rocking the infamous “mom jeans,” I found out that I haven’t always been putting my sexiest side forward. What’s ironic is I know better – I talk about staying a hot chick after getting married in my book – but I think sometimes we all could use a little reminder.
So, here it is… your sexiness reminder. I know we’re all busy, but sexiness really doesn’t have to take a lot of time. I know we all come in different shapes and sizes, but fortunately sexiness does, too. Maybe it’s some hot jeans, sleek boots, pretty panties, a touch of make up, or simply a positive mindset that makes you feel sexy. Whatever it is that sparks your sexiness make sure to flaunt – not sabotage – it!

Great News and Reviews
First the great news… I am so pleased to share that my sister will soon be joining The Newlywed Life. Her boyfriend, ahem, fiancé, popped the question – and a fabulous diamond ring – yesterday and officially asked her to marry him. I couldn’t be happier and am excited for them both.
The bling-bling. He’s off to a great start!
Now the review, I am also pleased to share a great review of my new book on a fun website I discovered a few months ago, Polka Dot Bride. Ms. Polka was gracious enough to send me a link to her review of the book so I thank her kindly and invite you to stop by and pay her a visit.

Dodging Difficult Conversations
It’s Marriage Monday at The Newlywed Life and this week in light of the financial fallout our economy is facing I’ve got a money tip for everyone:
Don’t Avoid Difficult Financial Conversations. I realize that most people don’t want to read about these things so I’ll be quick and to the point. Just because you don’t talk about something doesn’t mean that it’s not happening. When it comes to money, ignorance is not bliss. Ignorance can leave you, your new husband, and future children - gasp! - in financial ruins. Some topics for discussion include retirement plans, taxes, life insurance, disability insurance, will/living trust, previous child’s support and ex-wife’s alimony payments.
Remember, there’s nothing wrong with not knowing what to do in your marriage, but there is something wrong in not finding out.

Pretty in Pink
It’s Fab Friday at The Newlywed Life, the day I divulge some of my fabulous finds. Websites, housewares, décor, drinks, jewelry, books; it doesn’t matter as long as it’s fabulous.
When I picked up the mail yesterday there was an envelope from Tiffany & Co. with my name on it inviting me to look at their new and noteworthy fall designs. Of course I obliged – who can resist the allure of the turquoise box – then I took it one step further and began browsing their website. That’s when I found this…
Tiffany Legacy Collection, Pink sapphire ring, $13,500
Gasp! It gives a new definition to pretty in pink. Yes, it’s a bit on the pricey side but there are many other fabulous pieces on Tiffany.com that won’t break the budget.

Faking The Big O
It’s Hump Day at The Newlywed Life, the one day a week I dish about sex. Last week in my Ask Wifey column I tackled a question about faking orgasms. Gasp! Dare I say it, most women have yelled to the hills when they were less than thrilled at sometime or another.
That leads me to ask, do you fake “The Big O?” Don’t worry, it’s a rhetorical question. You don’t have to answer out loud, although your comments are definitely welcome. My question is more to get you thinking. Are you satisfied with the outcome – no pun intended – when you have sex? Or, are you doing your best “When Harry Met Sally” impersonation?
Statistics show it takes more than intercourse for most women to reach orgasm, and that it doesn’t happen during every sexual encounter. My advice to the woman last week was instead of faking it; find new ways that will truly take you there and then share them with your husband.
I suppose a little enhanced holler every now and then doesn’t hurt anything; but wouldn’t it be more fun for everyone involved if you really mean it? What do you think? Theatrical minds want to know…
