It sounds silly, but one of my favorite ways to spend time with my husband is watching TV. I know, I know. Some will argue that sitting on the couch and staring at the screen does not count as ‘spending time together’ at all. But I’d argue otherwise. Truly, the time we spend next to MORE »
While reviewing the Xbox 360 + Kinect, I’ve written how the console connects my family, whether it’s just my husband and me on a regular Saturday night or my entire family during Thanksgiving.
