Focus On the Good Qualities

Can I just say that I loathe that us humans are so quick to focus on each other's bad qualities rather than the good ones?  

"This girl never stops talking." 

 "That guy is too emotional."  

"This person works all the time and never spends time with their family." 

"That mom allows her kids to run wild."  

"That parent can't manage to keep their house clean."  

"This person texts me way too often."

Learning To Be Generous To Your Spouse

It's the holidays. The time of year where everyone becomes more generous. With their time, their money, and their talents. Many challenges even exist to encourage people to be more generous, like paying for food or coffee for the person who is in front of you in line.  However, most people have this notion that generosity is limited to an outward action. Giving to those outside of your own home. Typically people you don't know.

A house is now a home

As most of you know now, my husband and I <strong><em>bought a house! Moving is all too familiar for us. And if you've moved, you know the agony it can bring. The changing of addresses for everything, packing all your belongings...hoping and praying nothing breaks on the way, living on only essentials for a period of time, figuring out leases or the buying and selling a home, finding people to load and unload the truck, anything else I'm missing??? This was our 8th move in 6 years of marriage! You could call us pros.

A thank you to my better half

Our love story started 7 years ago, and only 6 weeks after meeting, you got down on one knee. That night you promised to love me and cherish me everyday for the rest of your life. A promise I’ve seen many men unable to keep. But you, you have continually kept that promise to me. You are truly my better half

What I wanna teach my kids about friendship

Life isn't meant to be lived alone. That's why we were created to be in relationships with others, whether that be marriage, dating, or friendship! Friendship is beautiful if done in the right way. Often times I see and hear sad things in the world though that make me question how people really view friendship. This is why I want to teach my kids how to do them well!

Hallelujah! Anyways, 18 hours of driving with four young children (7, 4, 3, and 1) and I thought to myself...
