When we went on our road trip this summer we stopped at a KOA in the Redwood Forest.  While there we of course made smores.  The problem was how dirty we got even though we tried so hard not to.  Well Ladies and Gentlemen the problem is now solved.  Make a smore box so it is easy to assemble your goodies.  Although we do this for camping, I think you could also use this idea for back yard bbq's, or Summer Parties around your fire pit.  Maybe even for Family Fun Night. 

I just love how a picture can inspire me.

Enjoy

I sure do enjoy a night out on the town, but I also enjoy being at home! I decided my husband and I were in need of a date night at home that was simple, relaxing and electronic free!  We are both, let’s say rather addicted to our smart phones and have a tendency to be on them….A LOT!

I told my husband in the morning that once the kids were in bed, we were going to turn everything off and just be together.   I also told him we would each choose one treat and a game to play.

“Stop Focusing on Your Marriage.”

The first time I heard that statement, I was sitting in a relatively new small group in a friend’s living room. We just started a new study on marriage and during the video segment, the speaker told us to stop focusing on our marriage. Immediately I was defensive.

I don’t know who said that the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but it seems to be pretty accurate in our marriage!  Handsome hubby loves to eat!  So I grabbed some of his favorite candy bars and made an arsenal of candy bar love notes!  This way, I can grab one and stuff it in his suit case for him to discover later on.  It’s a sweet (literally!) and simple way to show my love for him.
