How to break your family’s spirits
Do you ever just feel tired? My husband and I have the following conversation nearly daily: “Are you alright?” he asks me kindly. “Yes, I’m just tired” “You can go take a nap if you’d like.” “Not that kind of tired, babe.” Of course there are times I’m sleepy but at the end of a long day it’s my spirit that is tired.

Is it okay to be happy when so many others are hurting?
A strange thing has happened to me recently. I haven’t had any words. If you know me, you’ll know that is strange. I always have something to say, and especially as a blogger I’ve made it my personal mission to empower, educate, and encourage other young wives and mamas like myself.

Dating my husband again
Up until this week, my husband and I have been on a grand total of four dates since my son was born. One was last Thanksgiving during a visit up to Ohio. One was because a sweet friend offered. One was for our anniversary and the other was for my birthday. On top of the lack of dates we’ve had, we’ve also had to rush home to put the babytell me the rest!
What High School Musical reminded me about my young marriage
Every once in awhile I am reminded just how young I really am. Case in point: this evening my husband went out with his buddies and I stayed home with my son. As I thought about movies I wanted to watch but would never be able to convince my husband to see with me, High School Musical came to mind.
