This is a must have, my daughters both love these. My 16 year old still plays Pokemon with her DS and it's falling apart, She's had it since she was in the 5th grade. I'm adding this to my Christmas shopping list once I do a bit of recon, I'll know it she'd be interested in getting a new 3D DS. I think she might, a big Pokemon fan, they don't often fade away. Great review katiem2 thanks.

My youngest will love this, great Christmas present. I do all my shopping online. It is the best way to shop bar none. I appreciate your review of girls toys, clothes and such. You are going to save me so much time this year and those to come. Thanks katiem2

Another great article Katie. I believe in prenuptial agreements. I have one my second go around. I did as you describe and or advised. I created it with my fiance, had my lawyer review it privately counseling me and then my partner and I signed it, I dropped it off at my lawyers office and he completed the process. Although you don't have to do that. I have friends who've done it on the cheap using the do it yourself prenuptial agreements. My lawyer advised those are also legal and binding, you should be careful to deposit them in a safe because if one of the parties destroys it you have no leg to stand on. You should make certain it is filed away safely away from your home in a bank safe deposit box, I opted to use my attorneys services to be on the safe side as I was taken really badly in my first marriage. Most of us don't think it can happen to us, we think we are smart and together people. BUT there are real cold calculating sick people out there who can appear amazingly normal and in fact as if to be the perfect catch until you're married and then OMG look out. Better to be safe than sorry. A real narcissistic person will most likely walk away from the relationship once you tell them you want a prenuptial agreement whereas a honest good person won't be offended by it. You never cease to amazing me katiem2! Thanks, Scott

I always think of snuggling in by a warm fire. Winter is coming!

Thanks Dustytoes! We had a great time on our cruise. However, even though they are great for a holiday and if you are celebrating something, we still needed to think about whether we would recommend them for a honeymoon. A honeymoon needs to be extra special, so requires a little bit more thought about the type of holiday you choose.

Hi Dustytoes. Thanks for your comment, albeit on the wrong article! :)

Okay, this is the page I was looking for. Thanks for the insightful look at a honeymoon cruise!

I'm a Brit - so I didn't quite get all the NY references. Even so, I think I get the gist.

Sorry to say that we have got just the same mindset over here these days.

Well said by the way.

I really thought I had left a comment here, but now I am here to read again and tell you that I am linking to this wonderful and insightful page on my beach wedding blog. I think it will be very helpful in helping engaged couples to decide to cruise, or not to cruise! Thanks for sharing your story with honesty.

Kate - Thank you very much. :)

Ember - You may miss out at mid-summer, but you get all of those Harvest Festivals with face-painting. We have them too, but no face paint! :o

I agree that Toby Stephens did an amazing job. I totally believed that he was Rochester, but he didn't go over the top with the broody Byronic hero stuff.

I've since read other reviews that whinge about Toby not being 'ugly' enough, as we're repeatedly told that Rochester is. That leads to some truly disturbing debates along the the lines of 'yes he is ugly' or 'no he isn't ugly'. It would be very hard to cast an ugly person, on the basis that I'm yet to meet anyone who I'd deem ugly on looks alone. To me, beauty and ugliness comes in actions, not skin.

I thought rochester I wonderfully cast too

Some beautiful ideas!

Haha, there were usually face paintings at carnivals or festivals and Disney Land you know, whatever... but for me, I tend to think of face paintings and fall festivals. They tend to happen anytime from like back to school to Halloween.

;_; we didn't have mid-summer festivals! I missed out! XD
