Things can get a bit more complicated because we’re still dealing with the pandemic. However, date nights should not end. The weather is starting to get cooler, […]

In the spirit of Halloween, I want to write about a spooky and downright terrifying subject. The word mother-in-law. A word associated for centuries with ancient creatures of darkness. I believe that there is nothing scary about the word, mother-in-law. Through history and over time it seems like we have created this negative stereotype of […]
“Please have your agenda items in by Sunday at 4:00pm.” “Thank you kindly for the reminder. If you could have YOUR agenda items in by the same time, that would be great!” Sounds similar to something we’d hear at work right? That’s actually a couple of texts sent between my husband and me.

Now, my husband is fun and friendly and loving and hard-working and takes amazing care of his family. But, there are days when I swear if I have to repeat myself ONE […]
I’ve heard it said that “happy parents make happy children”. As a parent of two sweethearts, I truly do enjoy our time together. Having said that, I feel that most good relationships are going to be healthier if there is some small time apart. I also feel that some alone time with the person that […]
Wedding anniversaries: much like the relationships they celebrate, these yearly markers change over time. Pre-kids you might go all out to remember and cherish your wedding day and how far you’ve come as a couple. Post-kids you might be content just to settle for a couple of hours of quiet time.
