I have had Simplified Dinners since August and I’ve been internally wrestling with how to write this review. Mystie sent me a copy of this ebook and let me know that I could take several months to adequately test it out before I wrote the review. And I did. But only kinda. This is no […] Read more…
Week 8 {Get Fit & Healthy}
Last week was exhausting; my 2 year old is teething and so is a little grumpy and not sleeping well. When she doesn’t sleep well, neither do I :). Diet Again, though, I was pretty happy with how well I ate, considering. I had lots of veggies and fruit. I even ordered a […] Read more…

Talk {31 Days of Serving Your Spouse}
Yeah, guys aren’t really talkers, per se. I will say, though, that there are probably a fair number of ladies who used to spend their dating years having deep, intimate conversations with their future spouses until all hours of the night. Next time the opportunity presents itself, give him the gift of your time and […] Read more…
Bring Him Lunch {31 Days of Serving Your Spouse}
Sometime this week, call him and ask if you can bring him lunch. If it’s hard to take him lunch due to his work environment, maybe getting up early to cook him a hardy breakfast would be better. But go a little out of your way to make sure he’s off to a good start […] Read more…
Hold Hands {31 Days of Serving Your Spouse}
I have to admit that many times I just don’t think to do this. I’m so caught up in making sure I’ve got everything and everyone, I often don’t think about holding my hubby’s hand. The next time your hands are empty or even maybe just sitting on the couch, hold his hand. Click […] Read more…
