Okay, so I’m a bit behind in welcoming Marye and Marc to Marriage Actually. Marye’s one of my favorite b5 bloggers to read, so it’s exciting to have her and her husband joining us here. I’m enjoying their posts already, … More »

Head on over to Brew Ha-Ha to see what the b5 bloggers are cooking up for one of summer’s most important activities–Barbequeing!!! Not that we don’t have our own barbeques here in the Midwest, but going to an authentic Barbeque … More »
