Word of the Year

It's 2015, y'all!!  Crazy how time just zooms by... Now, I am not one to make New Year's Resolutions. It's not because I don't like them or don't want to change. The truth is I am never good at keeping them past the first week (who really is?) and then I'd feel guilty that I couldn't reach this random goal I had set for myself. Therefore, I wouldn't set a goal. You can't fail if there is no...

Husband Brag

If I can just give one piece of advice today to men and women... Ladies - Find a man who can cook! Gentlemen - If you don't know how to cook, learn!

Saturday with the Meinckes (+Guacamole Recipe)

This weekend my body decided it needed a break, so it came down with a cold.  Although I hate being sick, having a darn good reason to sit on the couch and watch football all day without feeling guilty is nice every now and then.  And that's what I did.

Trust

The other night while lying in bed, my husband asked me a simple question: "What has been the biggest difference between what you imagined marriage would be like and the reality of marriage?" He's really good at asking thought-provoking questions (super attractive!), we just need to work on the timing of those questions.  Therefore, at 11:30pm,...
