My Questions & Answers

• How do you feel about magazines airbrushing babies' photos?

  I think it’s terrible. Babies are beautiful just the way they are, and their photos shouldn’t be altered.

• Truth or hot air? Do you believe the Heene family really thought their 6-year-old, Falcon, was trapped inside their runaway helium balloon?

  I still can't tell.

• Should couples have joint or separate bank accounts?

  Separate. It's important for people to remain financially independent no matter their relationship status.

  • My husband is a big spender when it comes to his guitar equipment. I would rather manage our finances separately because I don't want my money to contribute to a hobby that I don't participate in and vice versa. It does not make us any less of a committed couple if we are separate in our finances.

• How much do you spend on holiday gifts?

  Less than $500

  • We get so wrapped up in all of the hype of the shopping, the gift giving, and the getting that we are blind to what the true spirit of the season is. We should be giving gifts to each other for a 'just because' instead of 'well, it's the holidays again and it's required that I get you something'.
