Draperize Your Husband For Father’s Day

Giveaway: Michael Andrews Bespoke Custom Shirt & Tie (2 Winners): Father’s Day is June 19th and although I’m not getting my husband a gift until he makes good on his Mother’s Day gift (ahem), that doesn’t mean that you shouldn’t get something nice for yours.
Also, since last week was all about unsexiness, I thought this week we could go the opposite route. Which brings me to the fine specimen pictured left. Are you still with me? Or are you caught up in some sort of retro boss/secretarial pool fantasy? I’ll wait.

I’m talking about my husband’s unreasonably large amount of love for The Godfather Trilogy and the importance of handing someone a title that, in his eyes, puts them in the same esteemed class as one Don Vito Corleone.

Movie Selection: More Crucial Than Ever

I wanted to see “The King’s Speech” but Mike insisted on seeing “Limitless” because A) he thought “The King’s Speech” would be boring, B) he’s a boy and boys are stupid and C) I have a friend that insists Mike looks like Bradley Cooper. (You should know that my friend’s nickname is Governor Patterson.)

If Daddy Can Put the Baby Down for a Nap, What Else Can He do?

This past weekend, while visiting friends in DC, I made an important discovery. My husband, it turns out, can successfully put the baby down for a nap. He might, dare I say, be even better at it than I am. I know—SHOCKING…
