What you feed grows. What you starve dies! Have you fed your marriage lately?
How do you prevent waking up to a stranger one day? How do you prevent the “roommate” feeling? INVEST! Invest in your spouse and your marriage. If you feel distant from your spouse, don’t ignore it…face it, talk about it, but don’t push it under the rug.
Relationships take deposits, take time to invest in your marriage!
Kids mess up all the time, it’s part of growing up. As adults we can still fall short, yet our Heavenly Father is quick to forgive us and He welcomes us back with open arms every time.
We don’t earn His love for good behavior, He loves us no matter what. Let the same be true for your children…be a parent with open arms, a parent that corrects and disciplines, but LOVES unconditionally.
Getting back into a routine after a week of vaca, isn’t easy…but no excuses!

“Your children’s successes or failures in many of life’s endeavors will depend on the quality of the relationships you share during their childhood years.” -Dr. James Dobson
A husband and wife will agree and disagree, it’s part of being human and having different personalities…but they may never agree on quitting.
Start your marriage off right and never use these words…separation or divorce. Don’t speak them, don’t even think about them. Quitting is not an option. Agree to push, press, run or whatever it takes to get through every obstacle that comes your way as a couple. “What God has joined together, let no one separate.” Including the two people who said “I Do”!
Fix these words of mine in your hearts and minds; tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. Teach them to your children, talking about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates, so that your days and the days of your children may be many in the land the Lord swore to give your ancestors, as many as the days that the heavens are above the earth. Deut. 11:18-21

Everyday allows new opportunities to teach God’s word to your children. How do you share His word with your kids?
Just Sleep…
Sleep my dear.
Not a care in the world.
Just sleep.
Sleep my dear.
May your dreams run free.
Just sleep.
Sleep my dear.
Silence is your friend.
Just sleep.
Sleep my dear.
Day will wait.
Just sleep.
But when you are ready,
I’ll be here sitting as you wake.
For now just sleep.
-Bethany Boy
Growing up on a farm, I had my share of fried food. I know it’s not healthy for you, but it sure does taste yummy (it’s all about moderation). In honor of my southern roots, here’s “What’s for Supper“, fried fish, corn on the cob, coleslaw, fried okra and cheese grits…and it’s Mmmm…Good!
Getting into a routine can be challenging at times for anyone, especially kids. They wake up sleepy and forgetful. Parents are busy with their own routine and can also forget to remind their kids of the things they should be doing. By pinning up a “Daily Reminder List”, I am able to take the stress off of myself and the kids. Now they can check the list instead of me asking them if they have done x, y, z.
Are you wanting to set your family up for success? Then give them the tools to do so. Click this link,The Friendly Daily Reminder List, to see our list up close. You can revise it to fit your family’s needs.
