Mastering YOU Monday...lessons I've learned


lessons learned using Godly wisdom throughout my marriage
As some of you may know, my husband and I just celebrated our 25th wedding anniversary! If you asked me 25 years ago where I would be today…I couldn’t promise you I’d be here.  Why? Because our marriage was definitely NOT the conventional one! 


You see, I met my husband on Oct 14, 1988, the first month really didn’t count(because, as he puts it, I detested him), lol. However, I  have a different opinion!

parenting advice
Okay, first and foremost I must say that Spring Break was a blast last week! Family vacation AND my SITS Day on Friday! Can you say Oooooweeee!!!!


We had an awesome time at the beach! Unfortunately, my husband and son-in-law couldn’t make it, *insert sad face here*! So, it was just me and the kiddos!

Don't break him!



honoring our husbands
 Contrary to what you may have been told, a man’s ego is a very fragile thing. Every time we tell him how he didn’t do something right, look at him with disdain if he says or does something WE deem to be stupid, or scold him as if he’s some child…we chip away at his ego bit by bit. Some of us have done it for so long, we don’t
