My husband and I try our best to do date night every week like Markell said and sometimes to make it extra special, we cook together. No… definitely NOT while the kids are awake, that would just be chaos We feed the kids a simple meal {mac and cheese anyone!?} and have a light snack and then put them to bed and start OUR dinner. Which means food that we want to eat, but our kids don’t always want to. You know what I mean? It’s amazing how close you grow by working together. You are able to talk, flirt, work with each...

During this 31 days to a closer family, Traci and I are sharing a lot of fun and serious posts about family. We aren’t experts in anyway (except that we have families… and we like to make them closer!) We just like to share our advice with anyone who wants to hear it. This is going to be a pretty simple list type post. 10 “easy” ways to improve your marriage. I put easy in quotes because while these things seem simple, they do take effort. They take a determination to have a better marriage. They take two...
Markell did an awesome post about marriage, so I decided I wanted to share my thoughts, too. I want to share a story from my college time and a guy I *thought* I was in love with {and wasn’t} We’ll call him Mr. A. So this Mr. A. We dated a summer and I fell HARD for this kid. I know, I know, I am a silly girl. I was 19 at the time. So this guy, he liked me too, but quickly decided he wasn’t ready for any sort of commitment. He broke my heart. I felt like someone had died, kind-of-a- broke my heart. Has anyone else been...
My husband is a VERY busy man. And I bet a lot of you guys can relate, yeah? He has an incredible job that does allow for a lot of family time, however, he also has to travel daily across the state. I am so grateful for the hard worker that my husband is, and know that if he could, he would rather be home playing with us all day, but am grateful he takes such good care of us. But that doesn’t mean I don’t miss him I realized as my husband continued to get busier and busier, that I need to make sure that we make the...
{Please don’t hate the blurry pic, I did that on purpose Is anyone else out there a journal-er? I LOVE journaling, I really enjoy watching myself grow as a person, and be able to look back and see and remember things and feelings and thoughts, that I would otherwise just forget. I love remembering the little things, not EVERY little thing, but some of the little things. And, being married, I love to write, often, all the big and little things I love about my husband. So that I am always focusing on the good, and remembering how...
I realized the other day that I hadn’t really introduced myself super well before I wrote my first Sunday post. This post will be a bit short, and sweet. But I hope to explain a bit of my beliefs to you as best I can. Please note, that I am not very eloquent in speaking, obviously But I hope to share some of the sweet truths I believe. {You can check out this video for a short introduction to what We Believe} First, I know that I have a Heavenly Father who loves me and has a purpose for me, and sent me here to become like Him....
Each month, on the first of the month, I try to write a religious/spiritual themed post. The purpose of that is to help my readers (that’s you) understand a little more about who I am and what my beliefs are. There are a few other bloggers of my religion (Mormon) who do this same thing. You can find links to their posts at the bottom of this one. If you’d like to read other religious type posts I’ve written, click here. I wrote this post on marriage a little while ago, and I was hesitant to post it because of some...
