Like I said, when I get the wealth thing figured out, I'll let you know. Until then, I do have a way that you could possibly make a couple bucks.

How do you stay happily married to the same old ball & chain - year after year?

Well, we only have experience with 7 years, but we are definitely happy - and there are many reasons why.

One main thing is this communication. When something bothers us, we say it. You can't do this with everyone, but you must do it with your spouse. If you don't, you'll hold it in. And just like the food you eat - it will come out sooner or later.

If you hold it in, it builds and builds pressure, then you add more "food" to it because now more little things are bothering you that normally wouldn't. The pressure builds and builds more, until... KABLAM! Before you know it, you're upset and saying things that aren't coming out right.

Saying it in the first place, when you can rationally talk about it or (better yet) joke about it, prevents this diarreah of words that just makes a mess.

Communication is the fiber of your relationship - it keeps it going.

Any of our greeting cards with a baby or a baby's butt is our daughter, Lexy. She is a 3-year-old handfull, actually pretty good for her age.

What's one way we (try to) keep the peace in our house?
It's all about choices. Really, if you give a kid choices, it makes them think they have some control over the situation. Of course you are the one with control over the choices - or at least that's the way it's supposed to work.

When we have a hard time getting Lexy to put her clothes on, we may use one of these:

• If telling her to get dressed doesn't work, sometimes I pick two outfits and ask her which clothes she would like to put on. Then the issue isn't if she's going to put clothes on, it's which ones. Often she forgets she didn't want to put clothes on in the first place.
• Sometimes we have to ask her who is going to put her clothes on - her or us. Then it's who is going to put them on, not if she's going to put them on.
• Lately I've reminded her that she can do something nicely or she can do it with me yelling - her choice.
• Ty says with a smile, "You can put your clothes on - or you can put your clothes on with my foot in your butt."
