Posted in Family

Personal Creations provided this beautiful you are my happily ever after canvas to help D and I focus on our relationship this year. I hung it over our bed to provide a lovely visual reminder that we need and want to continue to work on our relationship every day.

Marriage: It’s the Little Things That Matter

Posted in Family

This post is part of the Happy Wives Club Blog Tour which I am delighted to be a part of along with hundreds of inspiring bloggers. To learn more and join us, click here! I could talk forever about marriage, but it’s time to wrap up this little mini-series of mine. Ironically, this all started out as one post for the launch of the Happy Wives Club book, but once I got writing, I couldn’t stop. I glazed over things in the interest of saving some writing/reading time, but it still ended up being rather long. I had fun thinking about…
