Courtney's comment mentions the secret! For a no fuss, and super easy turkey brine it, put it breast down in a bag, and roast for the recommended time per pound. This means you just put it in and leave it, no basting or constantly opening the oven! Everyone constantly raves about how good my turkeys are, and can't believe it's as easy as I say. Oh and we usually do 20 to 24 pound turkeys, we have a very large family!

Most men want a lot of sex whether on vacation or not. I personally would never consider my husband a pig, because he isn't and he couldn't be. He is the most amazing man ever (though I suppose I'm biased to that point!), if he wanted to have sex and our children were a few feet away I would say no, (unless they were very, very young). That does not mean we wouldn't/couldn't relocate to someplace farther away to have sex.

I read that particular blog post sometime last week. I personally agreed with what she was saying. That if you are on vacation with children you may not be having the same sex you'd be having if you were on a vacation without children. I don't see that as being unreasonable. I don't think it would be right to go on vacation with children and forgo sex altogether, there are definitely ways to be creative. At the same time I find it so interesting that there are blog posts after blog posts about being modest, but moaning and groaning in the bed next to children isn't immodest? Is that something a teenager should hear? Obviously you can try to be as quiet as possible, but you may not be as quiet as you think. This also isn't just my opinion, but my husbands as well in case anyone would be curious to know.

My husband and I have been happily married almost 4 years. We are childless right now by choice. Honestly, neither my husband or I felt it was time for children just yet. We believe when it's time, we will know it. I'm a stay at home wife, so neither college or career impacted our decision. We aren't saying children aren't blessings, and they aren't wonderful. We do often feel very much judged, and ostracized by other Christians due to our choice. We know fertility isn't guaranteed, and we also believe our God is a big God. If we try to have children but can't, that is His will and we will accept that.
