Lorelei,
You are 2 years and 9 months old. You’ve mastered the fine art of dressing yourself (except for shirts, they’re pretty confusing). You adore watching shows and have somehow developed a little smarty pants attitude. And then, there’s the whining. Somehow, you instinctively know that if you repeat the same word in the same whiny [...]
Remember that list of things you love about your spouse you wrote? Re-write each one on a sticky note, saying ” I love…. (you fill in the blank)” and stick them up for your spouse to find. Then, take the original list and put it somewhere you will see it often to remind you.
Pray for your spouse today. If you aren’t used to praying for your spouse, try it. Start small if you need to. You don’t need eloquent words and you don’t need an audience, just talk to God in your own way. You’ll be amazed at what prayer can do. Trust me on this one.
(PS - [...]
Make two lists. Make one list of at least 10 things you adore about your spouse. Make another list of things you wish were different about your spouse.
Rip the second list up. (Save the first for later)
You see, when you married your spouse, you CHOSE to love them. THEM. Not someone perfect, not someone flawless, [...]
Take a walk with your spouse.
Fresh air. Increased circulation. A common goal. Quality time together. Improved mood. Exercise. Yeh…I’m not really seeing any negatives to this. You might even want to make it a common thing…
Today’s challenge was to share breakfast with your spouse. I prepared you for that challenge yesterday afternoon, but if you didn’t get to do it…it’s not too late! Pick a different meal to prepare for them and then share it with them and have some good conversation time. Remember, it can be simple or complex, [...]
Today, your challenge is two parts:
One: Send your spouse a note/letter/e-card to let them know you love them and are thinking about them. It can be sexy, romantic…whatever you choose. Take whatever you are easily comfortable with and stretch yourself just a little bit - if you’re comfortable with teddy bears dancing over a page, [...]
In honor of my husband, I’m going to post 30 days worth of tips for a better marriage. I know Valentine’s Day is LESS than 30 days away, but why stop at the holiday? Why not keep going. I challenge you to try these out and let me know what you think…if you believe your [...]
1. Regardless that you never stuffed your bra in highschool, you might suddenly find yourself doing so. You may even want to buy stock in nursing pads, I’m just sayin’…
2. My number one requested item on my baby shower list POST-BABY? Fitted sheets…because um, yeah.
3. Right after that? Towels.
4. Cabbage leaves? Don’t work. Unless you [...]
As part of my 2010 Resolutions, I promised MYSELF to paint more. I have so many hobbies, so many things that I enjoy, so I promise myself to spend more of my time doing those things and less time doing things that make me anxious and unhappy.
With that in mind, I’d like to present to [...]
