I've been obsessed with cleaning our house recently but I've been so good about it, I have nothing left to clean or tidy right now and I'm left to face the things I don't really want to think about like the fact that I miss my kids when they're at school or how I really want to fill this house up with some more of them 😅

Being a mom has always meant so much to me. Growin Being a mom has always meant so much to me. Growing up, I thought it was pretty much all I was cut out to do, which ended up being false. But even though I've learned that I'm capable of so many other things, being a mom is still one of my highest aspirations. As we're getting our home ready for fostering, I can't help but think of how the little one(s) entering our home will feel but also how David and Evy will feel. How will they react if we parent slightly differently? Will they understand that we're working to build trust and connection or will they feel indignant? These are the things I pray about and also speak to the kids about in the days leading up. We're all excited but I have the feeling of heaviness that we don't and won't understand the burden until we're all already carrying it together.

David wore a tie (I don't exactly get how it tirles in to Twosday but the kids were happy so..) and Evy "twinned" with a couple of sweet friends in her class. It's so sweet when you see your own kids building their own friendships. It just loosens a little piece of anxiety I've had about parenthood since David was still in my tummy. How did you spend your TWOsday??

Today was a sweet day. Woke up at 8:30 next to Jos Today was a sweet day. Woke up at 8:30 next to Josh in a quiet house - the kids slept over my parent's last night. Got up, raced to clean the kitchen as fast as I could while my coffee was brewing. The coffee won this time. 

I recorded a Reel while getting ready. Went to the place where we were going to meet my fam a bit early so Josh and I could get in a walk. Then we got coffee, went to a huge antique store (sadly left with nothing but took pictures of my faves so I can remember to come back) and went to lunch with the kids and my parents. Love easy-going and fun days like these 🖤
Back in the day,I was talking with someone about m Back in the day,I was talking with someone about marriage.Josh and I had been married for a few years at that point but this guy was still single. ..

He told me he was studying to get his masters in counseling and he wanted to be a marriage counselor one day.I thought "Hey that's pretty cool" but, curious,because,you know, he was single. 

Anyway, after we'd been talking a few minutes about our interest in helping married couples, he leaned in and said, "You know, I have this theory on marriage.." "Oh yeah?" I said (pretty curious to hear what theories this guy had for all of marriage for everyone everywhere). 

He said, "I believe that every single problem in marriage boils down to communication."

At the time, I didn't really know what to say. I'm more of a *reflector* and then I come up with what I wish I had said later.

Here's what I wish I had said: "Um. Yeah I don't think so. I mean sure, communication helps with a lot of issues. But what about selfishness,⠀addiction,⠀past hurt and trauma, etc? Communication will help people work through those issues but they're connected to much deeper issues that concern the heart--not just your communication skills."

We are all broken, very human, beings and when left to our own devices,⠀we don't have all the tools necessary to "fix" ourselves or our spouse's problems. We can talk until we're blue in the face but we just can't fix ourselves. 

What we do need, is to lean on the Creator who made all things good and makes all things new. To understand that we are not the main characters here. The whole world and everything in it points to Christ and His redeeming power. And yes, he often works that out through us and often through communication. But it's not communication that saves marriages. It's Jesus.

I was just thinking about that today and wanted to get it off my chest. What role do you think communication plays?

Let's hash something out together: what's somethin Let's hash something out together: what's something you do or used to fight about in your marriage/relationship regularly?

Do you feel like the issue is/was pretty cut and dry? 

Or was there an underlying issue that bubbled up in different ways?

Curious to know your thoughts. 

When Josh and I were first married, we fought a lot. We were pretty low-income, didn't have great jobs, and had a wee baby. While our fights were often about the grocery list, the real issue was that we were SCARED. 

Scared of the adult life we had just stepped into. It was kind of like jumping into a puddle you don't think is that deep until after it's too late and now your socks are completely drowning 🚣🏼‍♀️ 

Luckily, though, they dry off over time, don't they?

After lots of learning and working really hard (both at our jobs and relationship) things started to ease up. We started to see that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and even though we weren't there yet, it gave up hope to carry on together ❤️
Go on a walk with your spouse before Netflixing. O Go on a walk with your spouse before Netflixing. Or if you can't leave the house, sit in the kitchen with a glass of wine. Make time to talk. And make it easier by doing things together. It's so so important ❤️

Random Questions to ask your Significant other when you’re extremely Bored

As great as my relationship is with my husband, and as much as he is my bff in the whole wide world, there's sometimes where there's just not much to talk about. Either that or we're really bored and too dull to think of meaningful conversation. In those moments we often play the game of 20 questions (that just being the name of the game, not really the number of questions we ask each other).

As great as my relationship is with my husband, and as much as he is my bff in the whole wide world, there’s sometimes where there’s just not much to talk about. Either that or we’re really bored and too dull to think of meaningful conversation. In those moments we often play the game of 20 questions (that just being the name of the game, not really the number of questions we ask each other). I’m a pro of thinking up great random questions to ask Josh. He… well… he thinks too much and tries to come up with the perfect question which takes about 20 minutes to do and so for every 1 question he asks me, I’ve already blurted about about 50 quality random questions. Some will make you laugh, some will make you think. Either way, if you test these out on your significant other, you’re be sure to learn something new 🙂 Let me know that you think and post your own random questions in the comments!

    • If you could change your career to any career you wanted, what would you do instead?
    • If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be?
    • If you were to spend your life serving one kind of people group, who would they be?
      1. (could be a race, the elderly, children, special needs, military families, etc.).
    • Who is your favorite superhero and why?
    • Do you like breakfast or dinner better?
    • Would you rather spend a weekend out and exploring and trying new things, or settled in at home reading a book (and/or binging on netflix)?
    • What is your favorite season of the year and why?
    • If I were going to wear lipstick, what would you choose between bright pink or maroon?
    • Would you rather watch a funny movie or an action packed adventure or war movie?
    • Cats or dogs?
    • Which sounds more like your ideal date:
      1. Dinner and a movie?
      2. Fishing?
      3. Coffee and strolling around town?
      4. Playing a board game together?
      5. Laser tag with friends?
    • What’s your favorite book you’ve ever read and why?
    • Would you rather be able to speak 10 different languages or be psychic?
    • Coffee, tea, or hot chocolate?
    • What’s the most romantic thing we could do this weekend?
  • What’s the most adventurous thing we could do this weekend?
  • If you could be a model for any type of product, what would it be?
    1. (i.e. a foot model, makeup model, rugged sportswear model, etc.)
  • If you were stranded on an island for a month, what are 3 things you’d bring with you?
  • If you could take an elective college course or certificate program, what would it be in?
  • If you had to choose an actor/actress to play the role of you in a movie about your life, who would you choose?

Got some to add? Let me know! I’ll be sure to use them during our next road trip!

    If this were a game show I would have just won. This is fun to do. We have don it so often that hubby and I have moved on to stranger topics.

    You get one superpower. What and why?
    If your past life was a famous person in history? who and why?
    If the world as we know it ended, what wouldn’t you do to survive?
    And of course the one I get tired of but hubby likes to ask.
    If we won the lottery…..?

    Great post!!

    I love this! My husband is in the military which made it a little challenging when it came to him dating and talking to women. Decisions have to be made a bit more quickly than in a normal civilian relationship so when he and I first started talking, we asked A LOT of questions. We knew pretty early on that we really liked each other and wanted to turn it into a relationship so before we did, we asked EVERY question under the sun. We wanted to make sure we were actually compatible and wanted the same things out of life before decided to enter into a relationship. Clearly, it worked because we actually got married two months later and have now been married for 2 years 🙂 I loved getting to know him and still enjoy asking these random questions whenever they pop into my mind.

    Great list of Q’s… After 40+ years of marriage, my husband would still always cringed if I wanted to talk about ‘feelings’, but he would leap at the chance to answer, “If we won the lottery…..” then wax on for miles about his plans. Perfect.

  • So I know the title of this post says, “What men want most in a wife,” but to be more realistic, this is about what men need most in a wife. Like men, there are a lot of things that we (women) would really like in a husband. Like, it’d be a huge plus if he looked like Chris Hemsworth. But that’s not really what we need in order to have a positive relationship with our spouse. If we married him, we probably think he’s pretty cute, anyway.

Back in the day,I was talking with someone about m Back in the day,I was talking with someone about marriage.Josh and I had been married for a few years at that point but this guy was still single. ..

He told me he was studying to get his masters in counseling and he wanted to be a marriage counselor one day.I thought "Hey that's pretty cool" but, curious,because,you know, he was single. 

Anyway, after we'd been talking a few minutes about our interest in helping married couples, he leaned in and said, "You know, I have this theory on marriage.." "Oh yeah?" I said (pretty curious to hear what theories this guy had for all of marriage for everyone everywhere). 

He said, "I believe that every single problem in marriage boils down to communication."

At the time, I didn't really know what to say. I'm more of a *reflector* and then I come up with what I wish I had said later.

Here's what I wish I had said: "Um. Yeah I don't think so. I mean sure, communication helps with a lot of issues. But what about selfishness,⠀addiction,⠀past hurt and trauma, etc? Communication will help people work through those issues but they're connected to much deeper issues that concern the heart--not just your communication skills."

We are all broken, very human, beings and when left to our own devices,⠀we don't have all the tools necessary to "fix" ourselves or our spouse's problems. We can talk until we're blue in the face but we just can't fix ourselves. 

What we do need, is to lean on the Creator who made all things good and makes all things new. To understand that we are not the main characters here. The whole world and everything in it points to Christ and His redeeming power. And yes, he often works that out through us and often through communication. But it's not communication that saves marriages. It's Jesus.

I was just thinking about that today and wanted to get it off my chest. What role do you think communication plays?

Let's hash something out together: what's somethin Let's hash something out together: what's something you do or used to fight about in your marriage/relationship regularly?

Do you feel like the issue is/was pretty cut and dry? 

Or was there an underlying issue that bubbled up in different ways?

Curious to know your thoughts. 

When Josh and I were first married, we fought a lot. We were pretty low-income, didn't have great jobs, and had a wee baby. While our fights were often about the grocery list, the real issue was that we were SCARED. 

Scared of the adult life we had just stepped into. It was kind of like jumping into a puddle you don't think is that deep until after it's too late and now your socks are completely drowning 🚣🏼‍♀️ 

Luckily, though, they dry off over time, don't they?

After lots of learning and working really hard (both at our jobs and relationship) things started to ease up. We started to see that there was a light at the end of the tunnel and even though we weren't there yet, it gave up hope to carry on together ❤️
