Friends, there’s a brand new T2 video with Danielle Peters, marriage writer over at Fancy Little Things and founder of the 72 Hour Club. It’s 17 1/2 minutes long and it’s a little better than first video. We’re learning! We’re not learning too much though, because in the video, I look like I’m part of [...]
After sixteen years, I think we’re masters of the cheap date night. Before we married, our dates weren’t so cheap, but after, well, let’s just say we had to learn to be in love without money. The other night my husband looked at me and said, “You wanna go out junking with me?” My son [...]
I am going away this anniversary for twenty-four slow and luxurious hours. At least, I hope they go by slowly, because this is the first time I’ve gone away alone with my husband since we had children – thirteen years ago. Wait, I must auto-correct. We went away overnight once, but it was 100% business. [...]
Sometimes when the sun shines, I get crazy ideas. Today, I’m over at Fancy Little Things talking about the time I decided (on a whim) to leave a love note in my husband’s vehicle. He was on the job and the poor guy said he felt like “Joseph fleeing Potipher’s wife”, only I guess in [...]
First comes love, then comes marriage, then comes a baby in a baby carriage. That’s why I was ready to have a baby right after I said I do. My husband, on the other hand, was slightly baby-phobic, and it wasn’t just the messy diapers that scared him off. ***** Inspired by Melanie (Big Mama) [...]
HELLO NEW RECIPE Source: bigredkitchen.com via Bee on Pinterest You must try this pumpkin cake. Don’t even think about it, just bake it. I am pretty sure it counts as health food, especially with a whole can of pumpkin in the ingredient list. Did I mention it only has two ingredients? Two. Original recipe HERE. [...]
Last Thursday was our “crystal” anniversary – 15 years. It’s a huge milestone and I am sure you are all tired of hearing about it, but I cannot let it go just yet. I told you FringeMan wanted to celebrate 15 years with tall, cold glasses of Crystal Light, but I wanted more, something to [...]
My birthday in mid-February marked the beginning of the roller-coaster of love. By the end of the month FringeMan, in his casual and laid-back way, dragged me into a jewelry store to determine which shape diamond I would want if at any time in the near future he may be in the market for buying [...]
FringeMan and I have a history of poorly celebrated anniversaries. It does not diminish our love or the forever after pledge we made almost fifteen years ago, but it does make us really bad romantics. This lack of romance is mostly my fault. You see, my husband’s love language is camouflage and I married him [...]
The other day I went to the Harley Davidson shop with my husband. I don’t like it there, but I do it to keep my marriage sweet, just like he sometimes gets out of the car and actually enters Hobby Lobby. I think he’s mildly allergic to Hobby Lobby, because he gets goose bumps and [...]
And they shall become One “What’s wrong with the car?” I nervously asked my husband. One hand gripped the seat and the other held on to the door handle while our car fishtailed through three inches of slushy snow. My husband pulled over, attempting to locate a mechanical malfunction while brushing persistent flakes from his [...]
I’m sitting with my coffee in a silent house feeling a bit nostalgic. I just sent my daughter to school looking more like a teenager than a little girl. All of a sudden, I don’t like that. I’ve seen her in a silly animal hat so many days that I forget how quickly she’s growing [...]
About a week and half ago, I pleaded with facebook to send me a babysitter. Actually, I only needed a child sitter, because all my babies are grown-up, and child sitting is easy…feed them junk food and turn on the television. I am happy to report one angelic sole stepped up to the plate and [...]
Hey Peeps! Ok, I never say peeps, but I have marshmallow chicks on the mind. I am dieting you know. Let’s kick this month of love off the right way, with Romance on a Budget. That’s what I’m talking about today at An Army of Ermas. Come visit me and I promise you’ll laugh, you’ll [...]
1. The time change really through me a bit out of wack. It’s probably because I haven’t figured out how to resent my alarm clock, but my internal time system went haywire about twelve hours ago. I just hugged my son and told him, “You really need to get to bed.” He looked at me [...]
I am happily married. That doesn’t mean that every single day of our marriage has been pure bliss. We’ve had problems just like every other couple in the history of mankind, but when a problem arises, we work through it, get help if we need it, and continue in the happy {ly} ever after. We’ve [...]
