I got the idea for this poll after having a conversation with my friend, E. She was mentioning something about paying bills or managing finances.

What’s your take results: What do you call your spouse?
Wow, I really left that poll up for ages, didn’t I? Well, the results are definitely in: In our house, we mainly call each other by nicknames (Honey, or Honeychik/Honeychka – the Russian influence and all), or Tatty/Mommy.

Around the web: The Photoshop Newspaper Debacle, Gender Stereotypes, and Screening your Kids’ Friends
You may have heard about the Hasidic newspaper which edited the photo of the security team in the Situation Room. One of my mom’s friends even asked her about it, and she in turn asked me. I didn’t feel like I gave a very good response. It was a little bit knee-jerk, a little bit … Continue reading »
What’s your take: Where does your baby sleep
Well, I meant to close this poll long, loooong ago, but since I didn’t, I got a whole bunch of votes. Here are the results: The crib-only fans edged into the lead at the last minute, closely followed by those who employ both methods. Trailing quite a bit behind were the dedicated bed-sharers.

What’s Your Take Results: How often do you “date” your spouse?
The results are in for this month’s poll! There was a much better turnout this time than last, so that was exciting (hey, it’s the little things).
