OnSugar Blog: What Is Heaven Mummy?

Lots of moms think out loud, and Hansel and Gretel does too.
by OnSugar Blog

Lots of moms think out loud, and Hansel and Gretel does too. What Is Heaven Mummy? comes from the Hansel and Gretel blog at OnSugar.

This is one question that I was not prepared for. Don't get me wrong, I love and encourage as many questions from Tyler as possible and I do try to answer them as honestly as I can, even though sometimes my answer is still not accepted for some bizarre reason. I quite often refer those science and mechanical based questions to my husband and Google the rest of those tricky questions (gotta love Google). When I read a gorgeous book called "Heaven Is Having You" I should have known better. I should have done my research, geared up, ready for the big question, "What is Heaven?".

When (Tyler) asked, I sat there for a long minute and thought of all different answers to give but to be quite honest, I was gobsmacked, I didn't have an answer and I am not even sure what heaven is. I Googled it (and) I still wasn't happy with the given information. This was one concept I wasn't ready for. So the next best thing was ......."ask your father". Has anyone else stumbled across a tricky question?

Where Do You Stand? Kissing and Telling

Our resident bachelor has narrowed it down to two final girls, but before we get to see who he picks as his future wife, we got to hear Jason wrap with Chris Harrison about what really went down behind the scenes this season.

Our resident bachelor has narrowed it down to two final girls, but before we get to see who he picks as his future wife, we got to hear Jason wrap with Chris Harrison about what really went down behind the scenes this season. This tell-all episode also gives the women a chance to clear the air and ask Jason all their unanswered questions, but the real juicy part was Jason kissing and telling!

Though the girls signed up for their relationship to be out there for the world to see, I'd be pretty embarrassed if I was one of them listening to Jason air our dirty laundry, so to speak. Clearly I'm not a big fan of kissing and telling, but tell me, where do you stand on the notion of sharing relationship details?

Many of us have felt the effects of the worsening economy, so if you've lost your job as a result, I bet one of the questions you'll be asked this Thanksgiving will be what you're planning on doing now. Not only can that question be invasive, but it can end up making you feel even worse about your situation than you already do.

You Asked: What's Wrong With Me?

Dear Sugar, I've been dating this great man for six months, and fell in love almost overnight.

Dear Sugar,

I've been dating this great man for six months, and fell in love almost overnight. We are both divorcees who have been through a lot in our past. I am not looking to get married again, at least not yet, and he says he never wants to marry again. Sure, sounds like we are on the same page right? Well we're not. I want him to WANT to marry me! What's wrong with me? I love having sex; he is happy with once a week! I want to be with him everyday; he's happy seeing me every other day! What's wrong with me? One minute I think it's time to call it quits, and then I can't imagine my life without him. I love him, and I know he loves me, but why am I always questioning this relationship? What's wrong with me? — Always Questioning Alyssa

Confused About How to Enter Our Wallpaper Contest?

Casa reader Telescopeeyes (you may remember her from her great guest bedroom) sent me a post about the ferm LIVING wallpaper contest saying, "Hi there, I just created a photo gallery with the photo entry for the contest, but I'm not sure how to actually enter it into the contest. I'd be so happy if you could help me out, thanks!"

I explained to Telescopeeyes that once you enter the contest group and add photos to your user account, you're entered in the contest. She then wrote back, saying "I think where it says 'Groups' and 'Subscriptions' when you first begin to set up the album, it doesn't automatically show up as clickable links in my browser (Safari). So I remember clicking to put it in the Home and Garden section, but didn't see how I could add it to a Group until I fiddled with it later."

Is anyone else having trouble with a Safari browser when attempting to enter the contest? If so, definitely let me know by commenting below. Either way, please do enter our contest. I'm so excited to give away some beautiful wallpaper to a lucky reader!
