GET UPDATES FROM Charli Penn
Charli Penn is the “Wife” behind all the marital shenanigans you read about on ManWifeandDog.com, a little corner of the web where she and her hubby share advice and TMI daily. They’ve been married and bloggin’ it since the day they said “I do,” but she’s been writing way longer. (You’ve seen her work on TheKnot.com, TheNest.com, or ESSENCE.com, perhaps?) So listen up love-haters: She loves her man; they love each other and their fur-baby; and together they’re out to make you all believers.
