So, I missed writing about last week's challenge..Oops! My task was to prepare my husband's favourite meals during the week. My husband's faves tend to be fairly easy...spaghetti, or meals involving meat. :)This weeks challenge was to discuss with my husband where he sees our family in 1, 5, and 10 years, then to share with you how I let him lead [More...]

Completing Him Challenge–Are you up for it?

We live in a very self-sufficient and self-centered world; I had a hard time with the idea of meeting [More...]
