My iPhone… We’re joined at the hip, my iphone and me. My iPhone is always by my side. It’s attached to my arm at the gym, it’s on my desk while I’m at work, it’s next to me on the couch while I’m watching TV, it’s on the table next to my plate while I’m…
Here are 25 things I wish I could tell my 20-year-old self… Take more pictures. Bagels may be labeled low fat but they actually make people fat. Go on crazy dates with your husband. You are YOUNG. Don’t keep buying cribs. All of your babies will sleep in your bed. When you hear the words…

Ben Affleck is getting some heavy criticism this week. Evidently people didn’t like his acceptance speech at the Oscars. Clearly the messages scribbled on his hands by his daughters didn’t convince the public of his family devotion. They didn’t appreciate him mentioning that his marriage takes “work”.

Over the past few months, I’ve seen several recipes for homemade deodorant. I’ve tried a few, and found that most of them smell weird or aren’t very effective. I decided to take my favorite aspects of a few different recipes, and make one that worked for me—and it worked! This deodorant works just as effectively…
Forgiving is difficult. Plain and simple. It can throw us for a loop when we have to forgive. I wonder if it’s because we are conditioned from childhood to think forgiveness is such a simple routine. Remember back…you are playing out in the yard with a friend. Out of nowhere your friend hauls off and…
Dear seasoned wives, When that young, googley-eyed, head-over-heels in love, newly-engaged girl runs up to you and exclaims the news of her upcoming wedding, please resist the urge to shoot her down. Sure, she probably doesn’t fully understand that the first year of marriage will be far from bliss. She doesn’t know what it feels…
An amazing truth has recently settled around my heart like a warm blanket. It took twenty one years for me to see it clearly. I don’t know if it dawned on me all at once, or just sort of slowly made it’s way in. People show love for others in their own way. They really,…
Recently Kyle and I got into a heated argument. And to be quite honest, it was over something so miniscule that I can’t even remember why we were arguing. What I do remember is that around 11 p.m. I looked at the clock and realized that we had been fighting for three hours already. My…
