Tuesday Toot #14
In my continuing effort to toot my own horn, which I have a very difficult time doing, I added this list to the Tuesday Toot meme.
In case you missed my post, I quit drinking Mt. Dew this past Sunday night. I still have some side effects but slo-o-owly they are easing.
Top Ten Tuesday - Why I Love Him
In no particular order, my list contains the top ten reasons why I love this man (who will remain a secret).

- Good father figure to my children.
- Cares for me and my children.
- Does things with his children, hands-on kind of father.
- Lives a Christian life and has a strong faith in God.
- Helps me (mostly) whenever I need it.
- Fixes things around the house.
- Great cuddling skills.
- Great teasing skills.
