Best Daddy Ever!

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -
I got to sit back and enjoy watching my hubby interact with our kids last night.  We were at a 4th of July celebration and as we were waiting and listening to a polka band the kids were snuggling and having daddy time.  :)  


I adore it and I love seeing how much love they each have for each other.  I pray that the love and time that my hubby and I have for our children grows.  We never want our children to have to fill our time and love with someone else.  


I also want to talk about the 4th of July celebration we attended!  IT WAS AWESOME!!!  I really felt like it did such a great job of being patriotic!  Most of the time now you go see fireworks and that is it, people are having BBQ's and having fun but we neglect to remember how and why we are celebrating our INDEPENDENCE!  At this celebration there were 2 characters who shared some history with us, Abe Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson.  It was a breath of fresh air to listen and remember the start of this great country...especially with this year being an election year!!!  After they were done with the speeches they started playing "I am Proud to be an American" which then led into fireworks and more and more songs.  All the songs were patriotic and some were hymns!  I had never been to a firework presentation like this one and I am already planning on going back to it next year!!  :)  


I also have a praise report that my 15 month old was not scared of the fireworks, he kept his eyes on them the whole time!  HE LOVED THEM!!! :) My daughter has always enjoyed them too!  


Happy 4th of July everyone... Stay safe!  :) :) :)

I love our kids! I love you. Also babe, the music was definitely bluegrass, not polka.

Toddler Rainbow Craft for St. Patricks Day

St. Patrick's day is March 17th so its approaching quickly.  I have a few ideas on art and food projects that i want to do with the kiddos.  Hopefully I will have enough time to complete them and share them with you.   This was a super easy one for those little hands.  I cut the stripes of colored paper but if you are working with a preschooler or school aged child then they can practice cutting.  The two toddler boys here only had to glue the pieces on their piece of paper.  EASY, but they enjoyed it!  :)  It sure has brightened my kitchen with them hanging on the fridge!  :)   I also talked more about the Promise God gave us with the rainbow since I know that history a whole lot better then the history of the Irish Holiday!

The Marriage Manual: 3 Secrets To A Happy And Lasting Marriage

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy! -

Well, you have gone and done it! You’ve stood across from the love of your life and made your vows in front of your family, friends, and God. You’ve entered into the contract of marriage, but while it may be a solemn contract, that certainly doesn’t mean that it shouldn’t be fun. It’s strange how many newlyweds expect life to undergo some kind of seismic shift upon tying the knot, assuming that their lives will not become a pattern of domestic drudgery with pleasure, intimacy and fun going out the window and that elusive spark between you fading away until you either can’t stand the sight of each other or are happy to tick over despite the grinding mutual resentment. Happily, the truth is that marriage is neither a ball and chain nor a grueling assault course. But like anything worth having, a marriage needs to be maintained.
