August 8, 2019

My best friend wrote a book! Three and a half years ago Ashby Duval had the idea to start a praying wives club. The words weren’t even out of her mouth and I said I would host it. In a time of little kids, little sleep and countless responsibilities it’s easy for marriage to take… Read More The book that will change your marriage

February 12, 2018

I’ll admit to being a little bah-humbug about Valentine’s Day, but a friend once told me that a holiday centered around love is always a good thing.

This is the post in the marriage series that I don’t want to write, but I’ll warn you, I’m passionate about it all the same. I’m serious about these topics because they have safeguarded my marriage and given me such a security that I can only thank God for his guidance.

Last week I started a four-part series on marriage, starting with how to make your marriage last. (Go back and start with that post if you haven’t read it yet.)

Part 1: How to make your marriage last

July 25, 2017

Marcello and I have been married 10 years. That’s a short amount of time to some and a long amount to others, but either way a lot happens in the first 10 years of marriage. You go from being a “me” to a “we,” and that doesn’t come without challenges, compromise and work. The past… Read More Part 1: How to make your marriage last

If you follow me on Instagram maybe you saw that Marcello and I have started date nights twice a month! We paid off our minivan with our tax refund and money we had saved. (Insert the Carlton dance.) Little savings add up and now we have an extra $300 a month. Keep getting those deals and stashing the… Read More Date night ideas and ways to save

Are you speaking your family’s love language?

February 14, 2017
Speak your family's love language

What does your spouse do that fills your heart to the brim? What do you do that makes your child’s eyes light up big and bright? We each receive love differently, so if we speak each other’s language we’ll get farther faster. Marcello and I were introduced to Gary Chapman’s book “The Five Love Languages” as… Read More Are you speaking your family’s love language?
