Growing a Healthy Marriage

If you've been following my weekly marriage posts, then you've seen my top tips.
Truthfully it doesn't get more basic than that.

A good marriage doesn't happen by chance. It happens because TWO people are willing to fight for each other. Everyday they choose each other.
&& everyday your marriage can get better.

I look back on the day I married my husband and never thought I could love him more, but here I am today with a heart so full. Each day that loves grows. Some days I want to punch him in the throat. Some days I cry. Some days we struggle. But through it all, we walk together for each other.

We've been through good, bad and ugly. We've had our fair share of arguments and disagreements (and i'm sure we have plenty more to come). At the end of the day I remember its him and I & I make a decision to choose us.

If you want to work on growing your relationship it starts with YOU! When you can fully love yourself, the love you have to give to others is much bigger. Those walls you're putting up will start to break down and allow a spot for your spouse beside you.

Remember, we are all different people and its all about finding the balance between your personalities. Make room for two equal people in the marriage.
BOTH of your feelings matter.
BOTH of your needs matter.
BOTH of your happiness matters.

You are not responsible for your spouses happiness, they are. Just like they are not responsible for yours, YOU ARE.

I spent too long trying to find love from other people. It made me feel inadequate and under appreciated. It wasn't until I could look at myself in the mirror and know my worth that I was able to give my love freely to others. Hence, allowing me to be a better wife to my husband, a better momma to my kids.

If you need a reminder...

1. Learn their love language & love them the way they need loved.
2. Date nights required! Stop with the excuses and make this shit happen.
3. Love without expectations. Love them because you love them and no other reason.
4. Communication is key. Always say how you feel, share your thoughts, ask for help. They are not mind readers and if you want to get on the same level they have to know whats going on in your heart & mind.

Everyday, kiss often, flirt, tell him he looks amazing. Say thank you. Compliment them. Remind them they are worthy.

Although my tips are basic and straight forward I love this and want to continue sharing. So stay tuned every Thursday for date night ideas, real talk & just me sharing my heart! Hit subscibe so YOU get a notification anytime I have a new blog up.

No Bake Super Cookie

Anyone else struggle with after school snacks? My kids, they LOVE junk. They walk in the door begging for candy, chips, cookies. All the things they don't need. I've made it a mission of mine to provide them healthy options when they get home. Today we are mixing up an old favorite &&& we even put a spin on it! No Bake Cookies, make with my supershake (Shakeology). We did vanilla & chocolate because my oldest is just like me; NOT a chocolate eater. So he has peanut butter flavor. These boys are gonna go nutsssss for these. I LOVE this option because its sweet, so to them its a treat. But it has the vitamins and nutrients from my supershake to help fuel their body (it acts like 7 salads) so #momwin I don't feel guilty packing this in their lunch, letting them grab a couple as they run and play. No Bake Super Cookie Ingredients: 2 scoops chocolate Shakeology OR vanilla Shakeology 1 cup oats 1 cup Peanut Butter 1/2 cup honey 1/2 cup coconut o...

$10 Tuesday | Breakfast edition

You know my goal is $10 or less, What if I told you breakfast for under $2?!? YUPPPPPP! Friends, get on my level.  That's cheaper than stopping at the gas station, running through fast food and 100x healthier! Let me share with you one of my favorite breakfast meals! Overnight Oats & Eggs Super simple, super easy, budget win. x Now let's break it down. Oatmeal -- $2.29 Blueberries -- $2.29 Almond Milk -- $1.99 Eggs -- .88 Mushrooms -- 1.89 ________________________ Total spent = $6.57 But wait, that's before breaking it down by the number of days you can use it for. This is over a weeks worth of breakfast y'all. One tub of oatmeal can last me 2+ weeks! Eggs, you have plenty for 6 days, etc. So let me show you my best guess. Oatmeal -- $2.29 / 14 = .16 Blueberries -- $2.29 / 4 = .57 Almond Milk -- $1.99 / 7 = .28 Eggs -- .88 / 6 = .15 Mushrooms -- 1.89 / 5 = .38 __________________________ Total for one meal = $1.54 Mind.Blow...

Tennesse Weekend Getaway | Review

If you know me, you know I LOVE travel and adventures. I love exploring new places and experiencing it with people I love. Quality time, its my love language! This weekend filled ALL the cups! It was our annual Diamond Retreat. This is something my best friend and I host for our team of badass women. They could earn it by growing their business, facing their fears and helping others. I mean, who has a job that when you show up to be your best self you get treated to a better business, vacations, travel and friends?!? MEEEE and its why I love it! Last year we hit up Florida and this year we knew we wanted to have a more quiet, secluded trip where we could just have our space to hustle, grow and relax. So Tennessee it was. Ill admit, Kyra and I spent MONTHS looking for the perfect place. We hit up Airbnb & VRBO to try and find a place that fit our wants. Big enough to house everyone, cute enough to throw a party & perfect for what we envisioned. We've had a few Airbnb fl...
