Ashley Judd Splits and Rihanna Comes Clean

Ashley Judd seemed like the dutiful race car wife when husband Dario Franchitti won his third Indianapolis 500 in May 2012, but it seems that all wasn’t well with the relationship.  Less than a year later, the couple has announced their split. Judd released an exclusive statement to PEOPLE, which read, “We have mutually decided to end our marriage.  We’ll always be family and continue to cherish our relationship based on the special love, integrity, and respect we have always enjoyed. Judd, 44, and Franchitti, 39, met in 1999 at Jason Priestley’s wedding through mutual friends who hoped to set … Continue reading →

Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas to Split?

Actors Melanie Griffith and Antonio Banderas met while working on the film Too Much in 1995. It may have been love at first sight, but at the time, both were married to other people. Griffith married actor Don Johnson at the young age of 19 after the two had been dating for five years. Let me do the math for you – she was 14 when she started dating 22-year-old Johnson. That marriage only lasted six months and in September 1981, Griffith married actor Steven Bauer. That reportedly drug-fueled marriage lasted two year and in 1989, Griffith and Johnson gave … Continue reading →

Navigating Grandparent Relationships

Most toddlers are fortunate to have at least a couple of grandparents. Toddlers can benefit immensely from relationships with their grandparents. Grandparent relationships can introduce your toddler to special people with diverse interests and personalities who love them in a way that only grandparents can. That said, grandparents are your parents and the parents of your children’s other parent – whether that other parent is a husband, wife, ex – husband, ex – wife, ex – boyfriend or girlfriend, you get the picture. Your position “in between” your children and their grandparents, as well as any similarities or differences of … Continue reading →

The Book of Icelanders

There is a new genealogy website called Islendingabok. It is designed to be used by people who live in Iceland in order to discover how closely related they are to another Icelander whom they are considering dating. Apparently, that possibility is a big problem in Iceland. You just met someone interesting, whom you would like to start dating. In the United States, it isn’t very likely that this random person will be someone whom you happen to be closely related to. If you are a genealogist, then you might find it amusing to check anyway, just to have a fun, … Continue reading →

Weddings Change Kinship Terms

Weddings are special. This is one occasion where you can expect to see plenty of relatives. For genealogists, weddings are an opportunity to figure out the proper kinship terms for complex family relationships. How do all of these people relate to you? Less than a week ago, my sister, Mary, got married. She had a beautiful, somewhat traditional, ceremony, and I have never seen her happier.

Adding a Girlfriend Affects Car Insurance Premiums

Posted on by

In some states, women pay less for their car insurance premiums than men do. Some may see this as unfair. Insurance companies tend to see female drivers as less risky than male drivers. This means that if a guy adds his girlfriend to his car insurance policy, it can actually lower his premiums in some cases. Many car insurance companies have different rates that they will charge a customer, based on a number of factors. Obviously, if the person has had a lot of car accidents, or a DUI, they are going to be charged a much higher rate than … Continue reading →

Toddlers and Bath Time

Jessie was nine months old when she joined our family. We were already caring for another little girl who was 27 days older. After our experiences with the first girl, we thought the two would be able to take a bath together and have a good time. We put both little girls in the tub. Jessie wasn’t having any of it. We were not expecting that. We thought that maybe the bathtub was too big and she needed the blowup duckie tubby instead. We got out the other tub and blew it up. We filled it with water that was … Continue reading →
