It is 3 a.m. in the morning and my hubby is decked out in operational gears. I have no idea where he is going (of course in this field one cannot divulge much to his wife) but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out that whatever he is about to embark on is...

Unleash your inner Skettel! Fervida!
The flyer read, Come out and taste Fervida - sensuality unleashed. The part that really got my attention? Come and try us on for size. Say what?! O.K. before you all start thinking that I went to a group orgy, Fervida is Italian for intense or passionate and is a six-week workshop hosted by Caleen Diedrick. Caleen is UWI graduate with...

Back to school blues (Time waits on no man)
In exactly four days, all the fun and games of summer ends, and I begin a new school year. I’m estatic because it’s the final year of law school, yippee! Five loooooong years! If you think I’m happy, check with my brain! It has launched a revolution against the many episodes of Keeping up with the Kardashians,...

Decisions you should make before getting married
A wedding requires a lot of planning and decision-making, but it’s nothing compared to the decisions you will be required to make when married. Most people put off talking about the really important things until after they tie the knot. Big mistake. Huge. Here is my list of things that you simple must address before...

There’s a thin line between love and murder! (It’s called snoring)
There's a thin line between love and murder. If you are lying beside my snoring husband then this is even more real. It starts out slow, like a low buzz and then picks up momentum like a Leigh Land truck or a freight train bearing down on you. When a gentle toss doesn’t work, I elbow...

If cleanliness is next to Godliness, are men are further from God?
If you are moving in together or you just got hitched, brace yourself for a few surprising, or hugely annoying things about your mate that will drive you nuts. I am still struggling to understand how does one simply walk out of their clothes, leaving them strewn along the floor like the breadcrumbs of Hansen and Gretel? Why...

The Help
For the last few weeks we have been unable to find our helper. We have been calling her phone but to no avail. It doesn’t even go to voicemail anymore. Since I’m on a break, and I have nothing productive to do (except writing these blogs) I decided to take on the chores. This morning...

Five things you realise after getting married
I am married. My name is Mrs Taylor. I have a husband. It still feels so surreal, not only because it has only been 48 days since our wedding (No, I’m not actually counting, my wedding website announces it every time I log on), but largely because having a husband, changing my name and being...

Could you be one of many wives?
As you all know by now I am a reality series junkie, so after getting my daily dose of Bravo’s Real Housewives, I was flipping through the channels. Showtime caught my attention with its new reality series Polyamory. In case you haven’t figured it out, Polyamory is a “provocative reality series that takes an inside look...

Growing up without a father (or why I love my husband)
Yes, I do know my father. I used to spend all my summers, well most of my summers visiting him. I would hang out with my two brothers (I have three, all by my father's side), but two that lived with my father. Those were fun summers. Back in those days whenever my mom would scold...
