Being a homeowner can have its challenges. Something always needs cleaned, repaired, or put away. Now, in theory, being a married homeowner means you aren’t expected to carry all the weight alone, right? So if the burdens can be split in half, managing a home shouldn’t seem so ...
Marriage, according to A Slightly Better Wife
Dear Debbie
I just read thee very best blog post! I shared it on my Facebook Page, but I wanted to share a link to it here too. It's written by Debbie Wilkins Baisden, and titled Stop Being a Butthole Wife. Her words and perspective really hit home. Dear Debbie, Thank you for telling it like it ...
Mr. Awesome Teaches Preschool, Post Christmas Normal, and Other Ramblings
It's 2 days post Christmas. We had our last Christmas celebration of the year here yesterday. The decorations are off the tree, the stockings have been stored away, and we're getting things back to "normal". My husband works hard all year long, and takes a few extra days off around this time ...
Craving Calm
A Highlight From My Day: When Mr. Awesome came home from work we all sat around the table eating pistachios and coloring for the bank's coloring contest (even though I'm pretty sure the kids won't be finished in time to turn them in by tomorrow's deadline, it was still fun). The kitchen needed ...
Making Time for Him
You can read a lot about being intentional with your children. You can read a lot about the importance of devotional time and time spent in prayer. But you know what I think there isn’t enough info about? Intentional time with your husband. As wives and mothers we can get so busy ...

Serve Your Spouse Well

Celebrate Absolutely Everything
Someone once told me "You guys celebrate everything!" At first I took it offensively, thinking we were being too frivolous or something. I mean, we probably were. Then I realized it was most likely a harmless comment that I instead chose to interpret as "Man, those people know how to always ...
12 Years Ago Today
12 years ago today I met this boy, and soon after he made me a wife and a momma. Man, we were just babies back then! We had no idea how incredibly hard life was going to be; how we'd have to lay his mom to rest after her battle with cancer, how many other funerals we'd attend, how many ...
Looking Through Glass is Tricky, Isn’t It?
Have you ever watched someone out a window and guessed what they’re doing or saying only to find out you’re completely wrong? Ugh, I sure have! Last fall I walked by our sliding door that looks out into the backyard. I knew my husband was weeding the garden and my son was playing with his ...
