My wife is a wonderful mother, friend, and confidant. Over the years, I've witnessed her fix boo-boos, comfort crying babies, and make each child feel special. She is always attuned to the kids' needs and to mine. In addition, she is the go-to person when her family has a problem, a dedicated volunteer in our community, and a mentor to women and girls. I definitely hit the jackpot when I met her. She has inspired me to not only be a better father, but also a better human being. During our 15 year marriage, I've learned many things from my wife, but these have risen to the top as the most influential and the most valuable to me and to our marriage. Click through for the 7 most important things my wife taught me! -By Frederick J. Goodall

Throw a gender-neutral baby shower: 10 important tips - Wed, May 1, 2013 2:36 PM EDT | CommentsWedding season is fast approaching, and if you're like 30% of Americans, you're going to need a bow tie for your dog because it would be totally embarrassing to bring your dog to a black tie affair and have him be under dressed. My dog is still upset about that time I forgot to pick up her tuxedo from the dry cleaners. SHE HAD TO GO NAKED, YOU GUYS. I'm mostly kidding. My dog DOES have a tuxedo. But it's totally washable. So do yourself a favor and get out ahead of the crowd on this one, okay? Don't let your pooch be the only one left out on the big day, or any day really, when all the other dogs are dressed to the canines. Click through for 7 dogs wearing bow-ties! -By Morgan Shanahan

10 dogs that are bigger than you! - Wed, May 1, 2013 1:02 PM EDT | CommentsI struggled with turning 40 but got past it. Now, 45 feels like true middle age, and that's just damned weird. I mean, I have a little girl (my daughter will be seven in June), so how can I possibly be in middle age? Not to mention that I just FEEL the same as I always did. Right? ...Except you know what? That's not quite true. I feel better now about myself then I ever did. I know who I am, and with each day I feel less and less like I have to explain myself. I was curious about how other women over 40 felt, and got some great responses. If you're on the cusp of 40 and are worried - or here already, or even if 40 is far away - I think you'll find great joy in these words.
