Our little boy got sick (or was fussy from teething), my husband came down with COVID and I somehow managed to survive and keep our house together without getting sick myself. Crazy!

No matter how well you think you know someone - you will be surprised at how much more you can learn about them when you take the time to ask very intentional questions! Asking questions is now a favorite activity for my husband and me on our road trips - and honestly, is something that we should do more often on date nights! This is such a great opportunity to get to know your significant other better and build and develop communication skills and deepen the intimacy of your relationship.
Read MoreOur Toddler Kitchen Tower

We are big fans over here of interactive play and helping our son feel included and able to participate in what we are doing as a family - and we are especially excited to have him be a part of cooking and baking and food prep in the future! I have wanted to get one of these toddler kitchen towers for a long time, but often could not justify the price for the beautiful wooden ones that I would see all over Instagram. So I was very excited when a friend posted about one that she got as a gift for a much more reasonable cost.
Read MoreExpectations of Marriage & Premarital Mentoring

A month or so ago, my husband was approached by some former youth ministry students who were recently engaged and asked if he would be willing to be their marrying pastor and if we would be interested in doing their premarital counseling. As I was processing this new ministry opportunity for me and Eric, I wanted to be able to share our own journey as we reflect back on the start of our marriage and as we evaluate the current state of our marriage after nearly 5 years. Hopefully, this series will bring great value for those who are single, dating, or engaged - but also for anyone who is already married, because we’re never done learning and growing and developing within our relationships!
