The Weekend

I hope that everyone is enjoying their weekend! Here in Indy its been raining off and on and when its not raining its been really hot. Its Saturday evening sitting here with Derek watching Juno and now were watching I am Legend. Which is a very interesting movie by the way. Lol

But back to what I was saying we sitting here on the couch cuddled up spending our much needed time together because next week due to his busy schedule I won't get to see him much. But I will spend a lot of time with my lil man. Our lil man will get extra spoiled next week. He won't mind at all.

Everyone enjoy your weekend! Get outside, if its not raining and enjoy some sunshine!! =)

I will have some good posts next week still doing some research on different topics.

If you guys have some topics you would like me to post on give me some feedback!

Our Quality Time

The last post I had posted on was spending Quality time with your spouse. Well my wonderful husband and I have a fire pit outside and decided that we could spend a few hours out by the fire. He has been wanting to do this for at least a week. He knows that when we sit outside by the fire we can talk for hours and relax.

Well he was right! lol It was an hot earlier that day and was wondering if it was going to cool off a bit for us to really enjoy the fire. Then night time fell and it was just perfect to have one.

I tucked Dawson in bed and Derek went out started the fire we grabbed a glass of wine and just relaxed. Where we live its very quite so it was us, the fire and nature. Very peaceful and much needed couple time. But in those 2 hours of just sitting there talking to one another we connected and talked about things we needed to get off our chest. Its was amazing. I realized that life is what we make of it and life can slow down if YOU make the TIME.

Who knows what holds tomorrow. Did you spend time with the ones you love or did you let life and hectic schedules rule your life?

Couple Time Should Be A Priority

How many couples now a days spend good quality time together? Some do and some could careless. Which category do you and your partner or spouse fall in? With today's crazy lifestyle booked with a full schedule it's hard to do some days.

Most couples have high demands such as juggling a career, going to school, children, school activities, family time. I could give a huge list but you get the point.

With a full pact day this leaves very few hours to spend with your significant other.

Here are some tips that might help with everyday's busy schedules.

Everyone has house work and yes it has to be done. But why do most women have to do it? Men can help. Instead of thinking your spouse will not help ASK for it. Cook dinner together make it a fun time to talk about your day. Your weekend plans, family trips you make take in the near future. Fold laundry together yes it has to be done but there is time to sit and chat.

Most household someone goes to the gym make it a couple thing. Find a babysitter and go to the gym 2 to 3 times a week.

Get another couple to go out to dinner make it a double date where you have friends to chat with but yet also being with your spouse.

The more "Quality" time that you invest and make a priority the happier your relationship will be.

Simple things to daily that does mean a lot show interest in your partner, kiss one another, hug each other be appreciative.

Of course I can't leave out the bedroom scene. This is a must make time for Sex! This is your time to really connect with your partner. Enjoy one another. You have to have that physical intimacy it's important to keep your marriage and relationship alive.

So when was the last time you spent "Quality" time with your spouse or partner?

Here is your time to make time!

Is Honesty The Best Policy?

Honesty and Trust are a foundation in a marriage. It's a vital part in making a marriage successful. Wanting to have honesty and being honest does not mean you have to share every thought that you think, or every fear or even every dream you have. Knowing what couples want to share with one another is a skill that couples learn to use to have a good marriage.

Having honesty in your marriage , you and your spouse are aware of each other's likes and dislikes. What areas our your relationship that are weak and needing to be worked on. It also will help you and your spouse understand each other.

The big question is "Are you or your spouse completely honest?"

Here are some questions that you and your spouse can ask one another.

1. What are you feeling about your current situation kids, career, is your marriage where you want it to be?

2. Both of your pasts former lovers, Dreams and Mistakes, What you have achieved in life?

3. Your tomorrows- your future goals as a couple, future goals for each individual, family.

Being honest in your marriage can cause arguments. When trying to have an honest conversation do both of you have an open mind? Are you disrespectful to one another. Is this a topic that you avoid. But remember without honest in your relationship it will fail.

Here is the recipe for all those oatmeal cookie lovers! Enjoy!

1 Cup firmly packed Brown Sugar

1/2 Cup of granulated Sugar

2 Eggs

1-1/2 Cups of All purpose Flour

1 teaspoon Baking Soda

1 teaspoon of Cinnamon

1/2 teaspoon of Salt (optional)

3 Cups of Oats quick or old fashion, uncooked

1 cup of Raisins

Heat the oven to 350 F

Beat together margarine and sugars until creamy.

Add eggs and vanilla; beat well.

Add combined flour, baking soda, cinnamon and salt; mix well.
