Recently, my husband and I listened to Gretchen Rubin’s “The Four Tendencies: The Indispensable Personality Profiles That Reveal How to Make Your Life Better (and Other People’s Lives Better, Too)”. I have to say, its the book improved marriage communication for us dramatically. It also happens to be a New York Times bestseller, so I don’t… Continue reading Improve Marriage Communication | A book that Helped

Forgiveness is key to happiness
Forgiveness can seem like a heavy topic. For many of us, it’s easy to see when others should just let go and forgive. But when we reflect on our own grudges we tend to have a laundry list of reasons why our situations are “different”. Maybe we feel we need to make a point. Or… Continue reading Forgiveness is key to happiness
Stop Nagging and Keep Loving
Over the weekend I came down with a monster stye on my eye. The top eyelid of my left eye swelled up to about double it’s size. Besides being painful and making it difficult to see, I found that my eye wasn’t the only thing that was hurting. My patience took a hit, too.… Continue reading Stop Nagging and Keep Loving
How do you have more love in marriage?
On Sunday, my husband and I celebrated thirteen years of marriage. In a way it seems like we’ve been together for forever. But at the same time, I don’t feel like an old married couple at all. I honestly do get excited when I hear the door open after a long day of work and… Continue reading How do you have more love in marriage?

Celebrating anniversaries
Some people find it odd that I celebrate half birthdays and half anniversaries. I find it odd that they don’t. I event like celebrating anniversaries that can be overlooked by others. That being said, today my husband and I are celebrating 12 and half years of marriage! Some people may feel this is… Continue reading Celebrating anniversaries
Daily Love Note
Did you get a love note today? Well considering its Valentine’s Day (aka my favorite holiday), I’m sure the answer of ‘yes’ is disproportionately higher than if I asked this question on August 14th. And maybe that’s why I love this holiday. I think any time people pause to say “I love you” just a… Continue reading Daily Love Note
Give the perfect gift
Valentine’s Day is officially a week way! I really love this holiday, but I know it’s not necessarily a favorite of everyone. I’ve heard all the Valentine’s Day hate. Many people mention it’s just a way for the card, floral, and restaurant industries to make money. But I honestly feel differently. What is… Continue reading Give the perfect gift
