Sex Again? Now? Really!?

There is a certain time of day when HubbyHubby likes to "get it on."

With three little ones at home, timing isn't always easy.

In fact, there are more than a million excuses NOT to "get it on."

However,... I make it happen. I make arrangements. I schedule it in (so to speak). I don't make excuses.

Ladies.... give your hubby the sex he wants at his favorite time of day.

Her are some tips and tricks:

• Babies at home? Have sex when they are napping or asleep.

• Too tired? Take a nap.

• School age children at home? Put on a movie. Set them up with books on tape. Set out fun breakfast foods, crayons and coloring books and tell them, "Mommy and Daddy are sleeping in tomorrow."

• Put them to bed early.

• Too much to do? Do your hubby first! The rest will wait.

What tricks and tips do you have to make sure you and your hubby have sex?

Master and Commander

After watching the movie Master and Commander, for the 10th time (argh), HubbyHubby says, "I'm your master and commander." And winks. 

Ah, boy. 

Turns out, he really likes to be called Master and Commander. I'm not kidding. He programmed his iPhone to call him that.

So, what does your hubby like to be called?

• Sweetie pie
• Honey
• Babe
• Babycakes
• Cowboy
• My hero
• Lug nut 
• Shnookums
• Muffin cakes
• Hottie biscotti
• Italian stallion
• Lover boy
• Sargent sexy 
• Stud muffin
• Hunny bun
• Hot stuff

There's nothing more boring than calling your hubby by his first name. Gosh, I hate hearing that. It's such a great opportunity to be creative and get your hub's attention. 

What do you call you hubby? Is it what he likes to be called? Do you even know what he likes? 

Ask him.

Busy Day Beef Stroganoff

Today is a busy day of school, appointments and violin lessons.

For this recipe I used leftover pot roast and the crock pot for a hot yummy meal as soon as we all arrive home.

Here's what you'll need:

• Leftover beef pot roast

• 10 tablespoons butter
• 1/4 cup finely chopped onions or shallots
• 1 pound small button mushrooms, thickly sliced
• 1 cup canned beef or chicken broth
• 2 tablespoons Cognac or white wine
• 3/4 cup sour cream
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

• 12 ounces wide egg noodles
• 1 tablespoon paprika
  
  
  
  
  Place the leftover beef in the crock pot and set on low.
  Melt 6 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. 
  Add chopped shallots and sauté until tender, about 2 minutes. 
  Add mushrooms. 
  Sprinkle with pepper and sauté until liquid evaporates, about 12 minutes. 
  Add beef broth, then Cognac. 
  Simmer until liquid thickens and just coats mushrooms, about 14 minutes. 
  Stir in sour cream and Dijon mustard. 
  Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  Pour the mixture over the beef in the crock pot.
  When you get home, cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until tender, about 8 minutes. 
  Drain. 
  Transfer to bowl. 
  Add remaining 4 tablespoons butter and toss to coat. Season with salt and pepper. 
  Divide noodles among plates. Top with beef and sauce. Sprinkle with paprika.
