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 ❤️

Things for couples to do when there’ s nothing good to do

Sometimes, there’s just nothing good to do… or is there!?!?! Before you give up hope, take a look at this list of 7 random activities for couples to do when there’s nothing good to do!

Sometimes, there’s just nothing good to do… or is there!?!?! Before you give up hope, take a look at this list of 7 random activities for couples to do when there’s nothing good to do!

1 If you have a porch, go out and sit on it.

We live in the south east so when my husband and I sit on our porch in the cool air of the evening and shoot the breeze, I finally feel like we’ve fully integrated into the surrounding culture. It’s such a great place to have those accidental deep conversations, though. We’ve had a lot of great conversations about life, society, the future, right on our front porch! It could be the sound of birds chirping, it could be the fresh, warm air, but for whatever reason, sitting on a porch is much more conducive for good conversation than sitting inside on the couch.

2 Find one thing in your home that you’d like to spruce up, and work on it together.

For the past 2 years I’ve been thinking of our home as a temporary dwelling place. Don’t get me wrong, our home is lovely, but I honestly thought we’d have moved somewhere else by now. When I realized our home was still going to be our home for a while, I finally decided to put up curtains. For the first time in living in this house for 2+ years. I also bought some super cute throw pillows to give our couches a bit of a makeover. If you’re looking for something to take up an afternoon, find a small project to do and complete that you can both be proud of and enjoy doing together and look back on with fond memories.

3 Create an epic spotify playlist together.

So my husband is a big “oldies” fan. You know- Led Zeppelin, Eagles, Supertramp, or The Rolling Stones anyone? And I only listen to them when we’re stuck together in the car 😉 Either way, I love that he loves that genre of music and he loves educating me on it. We like making playlists together for future things we’re going to do like vacations (we recently made a playlist for our trip to St. Thomas), road trips, or just hanging around the house with our toddler. Having music in the background of life makes it a bit happier, in my opinion. Creating a playlist together will be a great way to spark conversation about memories, interests, likes and dislikes!

4 Create an epic dessert together

We try to eat pretty healthy in our family, cutting out most sugar from our diet and eating waaay less processed foods, and I’ve never been happier about my health and appearance because of it! That being said, we have our moments of weakness. Most of the time it’s inspired by random decadent images of cake or some other heavenly dessert someone had the audacity to think up. The other day while scrolling through Pinterest around 9pm I stumbled across a picture of a cake of waffles, held together by cream cheese frosting, with maple syrup drizzled on top. I turned the phone to my husband, we gave each other a look, and then I was off to the store to get the good to make that scrumptious dessert! Long story short, we didn’t eat half of it and we felt sick for about 3 days. We still think of that cake sometimes….

5 Get out the house!

Sometimes just leaving your house- to do anything- will be just what you needed to whisk away the boredom! Go on a walk, go get a coffee, even go to the grocery store to pick up some milk. Yesterday, Josh and I were just chilling around the house after work, babe was getting grumpy, so we decided to run to TJ Maxx just to get a dog bed for our dog, Judah. The change of scenery was just was our toddler needed and our dog got a new bed thanks to our boredom.

6 Look up a random tutorial on Youtube and learn something new!

This could be anything from learning a new song on an instrument, to origami, to maybe even making that epic dessert together! Whenever I want to learn something new (like for blogging, sewing, makeup tutorials, etc.) I hit up YouTube and watch someone else do it first. Whenever Josh learns a new song on his guitar, he studies other guitarist on YouTube first to try to get the technique down. We also reference YouTube when our toilet breaks- about once a month…

Hey while you’re over there, subscribe to my small- but growing!- YouTube channel!

7 Get active!

Sometimes when there’s nothing better to do, getting active beets all else. Like I said earlier, Josh and I have made a whole bunch of not-so-hard lifestyle changes like what we buy at the grocery store and how much time a week we spend being active. Most couples have date nights, but many of our nights out include a trip to the gym. That might not be romantic to most, but getting that time away from home with my BFF and being active together is a way we LOVE to spend our free time, and we feel a lot less guilty about it than when we go to the movies and eat and drink junk. (I will admit that just we week, however, we saw BOTH The Jungle book and Zootopia. Both are amazing, we highly recommend. But keep in mind that we love “kid” movies).

What do you and your significant other do when there’s just nothing good to do? Have you ever made your own epic dessert before? What was it and how far did you get before you got sick??

    • Chelsea says

      May 10, 2016 at 5:06 pm

      That’s so great! Whereabouts do you guys live?? We would love to move to a funner part of the country someday! Josh really misses his home state of WA. It’s so beautiful there!

    I think that getting active is a great way of motivating each other. As exercise releases endorphins it is a sure fire way to get to know each other in a positive environment!

  9. Blythe A. says

    May 10, 2016 at 2:36 am

    I love how creative these ideas are. You don’t have to make big plans, you can do something simple together and still have a fun memorable experience.

  10. Amanda Love says

    May 10, 2016 at 2:56 am

    Those are great idea. I would also say go for a drive, you may be surprised at all the little things you never noticed when you’re just driving without a destination in mind.

  11. Amanda says

    • Chelsea says

      May 10, 2016 at 4:53 pm

      Me tooo! Josh ( my husband ) so so good at creating awesome playlists whether its for a road trip, a specific event, or just chilling at home. Music makes everything better!

  13. Di says

    May 10, 2016 at 4:26 am

    Great ideas! For us it’s usually something active like walking, hiking, or swimming. We like to be moving…

    • Chelsea says

      May 10, 2016 at 4:51 pm

      I so agree! Being active is a great way to inspire conversation, not to mention keep you healthy and happy!

  14. tpkeane says

    I love finding random things to spruce up, my husband, not so much. But we love going for long walks together.

      That’s great! Long walks being the best conversations!

  15. Rachel says

    May 10, 2016 at 6:15 pm

      Yay! So do we! It’s one of the only ways to burn our dog’s energy ;D

      I have always wanted a porch swing! That’s great!

  18. KRYSTLE COOK says

    May 10, 2016 at 9:24 pm

    I love these ideas. I try to get my husband to clean when we are bored. That’s usually a no go.

  19. MICHEL says

    I LOVE THE IDEA OF SPRUCE UP THE HOUSE AND WORK ON IT TOGETHER…. ITS SO MUCH MORE FUN WHEN WE WORK ON THINGS TOGETHER!

  20. Mimi says

    May 12, 2016 at 11:09 am

    These are some great ideas! My hubby and I are often asking each other what we should do. I love the one about watching a YouTube video and then doing that project! We’d never be able to create a Spotify list together. hahaha His music makes me nuts. =)

  21. Martika @ Coffee Time With Him says

    June 24, 2017 at 4:43 pm

    I laughed so hard at the crazy ice cream dessert story because that’s what my husband and I do. We give each other this look like it’s about to get crazy in the kitchen lol sometimes, my husband and I like to drive out to the river near us and walk up and down on it. It’s a big river so we can’t cover the whole thing but there’s one area that has lots of restaurants and there’s always an event happening there. Sometimes, we go there just to hear the music outside. It’s a beautiful spot and very relaxing! Thanks for sharing the post and the good laugh! I needed that!

  • 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.

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 ❤️
