Dr. Laura




Some of you may not know who this is, but this is Dr. Laura from the radio. Matt loves listening to her- yes that is right- Matt! She is a relationship therapist and rips into people when they call into her show... anywho- she seems to some very Husband supportive, hence Matt ENCOURAGED me to get her book: "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands". Since I am all about improving our marriage (even though I feel it is pretty good myself) I decided to give it a whirl. Conclusion: EVERY WIFE should read her book- it is very insightful and I learned sooo much!!! Women- you may feel he should be the one to change, but if you plan on staying married to your hubby- take matters into your own hands and be the best you can be!!

The sweet life...


Life was sweet in the Huffman House... the kids never fought, I always prepared 3 Healthy meals a day, I got a full nights rest every night, life was perfect! Okay- so not even close, but I did use to brag that having 3 kids wasn't that bad.... then it all changed!

Kalli started crawling and teething and now I find myself a little crazy at the end of the day... I'll just keep dreaming of the good old days =)

Happiest Valentine's Day



So this brings me to the end of my "deep thoughts"... I was thinking the other day how a marriage is like trees. We are two trees standing next to each other, but still on our own. However, our roots are intertwined. And our children are the monkeys jumping all over us!!!!

I just want to give a shout out to my boo- we celebrated V-day on Friday and had the best all day date together. He seriously still makes me laugh and I always look forward to spending time together.

I always want to shout out to my kids- I love you rascals and the love you bring into my life makes everyday worth it.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY EVERYONE- TELL THE PEOPLE IN YOUR LIFE THAT YOU LOVE THEM TODAY!!!!!

LOVing quote #4

"Don't ever be critical of each other, even in jest. Never run each other down-especially in the presence of others- because sooner or later one of you will get your feelings hurt and it won't be a joke anymore. Always build each other. Compliment each other in the presence of your friends and you will reap great rewards in your companionship."

I heart Valentine's Day

Okay, so other than the usuals my birthday and Christmas, Valentine's day is my favorite holiday. I was wondering why I LOVE it so much and I came to the conclusion it is because I have a weird obsession with people's relationships- I'm sure I have tried to get involved with yours... anywho- and I love the whole meaning of it- celebrating a day for the people we love!!! Not just our significant others, but everyone in our lives and writing them cute little cards to tell them we love them. I'm sorry, it doesn't get any better, so I realize I am two days late, but I will be writing a little quote each day until we get to Valentine's day. I know all 5 of you who read my blog will be LOVing this!!!

LOVing it Quote #1

"When a woman criticizes a man, whether she does it deliberately or not, she makes it impossible for him to feel connected to her. Where there is a withdrawn or silent man, there is usually a critical woman."
