Words to live by

Posted on by mr right & mrs always right

  • The secret to life is balance
  • The driving force for change is imbalance
  • Two wrongs don’t make a right
  • You always have a choice
  • We fear what we don’t understand
  • Fear is only in your head
  • Treat others better than you want to be treated
  • Always consider their point of view
  • Trust, but verify
  • 85% of statistics are made up
  • You’ll never appreciate the sunshine if you spend your days preparing for rain
  • No one ever wrote “I wish I spent more time at work” on their tombstone
  • Don’t take life too seriously, you’ll never get out alive
  • You can’t take it with you when you go, so might as well enjoy it while you can
  • People, time, and love: the tighter you squeeze them the faster they slip through your fingers. The only way to hold onto them is with your palms open, freely and without possession

Parenting: Part 1

Posted on by mr right & mrs always right

Things I never thought I would say, but now have since becoming a parent.

“Why are there stickers on you butt?”

“It smells like farts in here”

“We don’t play with our vaginas in public”

“It’s called hair, not fur, and you’ll get it down there too one day”

“You can only sword fight with a person if they too have a sword”

“I’m concerned that you identify with Darth Vader and Kylo Ren”

“You have to tell me when you poop!”

“No, you can’t marry your brother”

“I don’t know why boys have nipples, actually”

“You have your own nipples, stop touching mine”

“Take your hand out of that dog’s mouth”

To be continued…

First!

Mr right:

Let’s see, a little about us. I guess the first and most obvious thing to share is that we are not perfect. Gloriously imperfect! So keep this in mind as you read or comment on our posts. We do our best to see as many sides as we can imagine and our opinions are just that, opinions. For some it seems anything found on a blog can be gospel or challenge their own believes. I challenge you to open yourself up and consider alternative views if what we put forth upsets you.

Now about us specifically… we’re American and travel the world as often as we can. East coast natives; but we love the West coast too and many place in between. Married with two wonderful children and in our 30s.

We’re college educated, employed, and somewhere in the middle class. Both Caucasian and both atheist. We are fit and keep up on mental challenges too.

This might read like a personal ad, but as you’ll find, we can be a little too pragmatic at times and this just seemed easier so roll with it.

OK now that this boilerplate is out of the way, we can start writing some fun topics which is why we created this blog in the first place…
