My Husband Is Awesome… Even When He’s Not

My Husband Is Awesome, Even When He’s Not40-Reasons-To-Be-Thankful
 Its so easy in life to focus on negative things, get down, or be upset about little stuff. And then we momentarily forget how much our spouse/significant other does for us and how awesome they really are even if we are not feeling that way in the moment. I am so thankful for Kevin and blessed to call him my husband, partner, and best friend.

 

1. He’s leads our little family
2. He constantly tries to pursue Christ
3. He encourages me daily
4. He totally gets me in all my weirdness
5. He helps me not be OCD
6. He “plays” with me and makes life not boring
7. He works hard
8. He’s funny
9. He helps me around the house when I need it most
10. He’s dependable
11. He’s trustworthy
12. He is organized {we would have big problems if he wasn’t :)}
13. He is a good decision maker
14. He is smart
15. He still gives me butterflies
16. He plans for our future
17. He is committed to our marriage
18. He watches my girl shows {sometimes}
19. He provides for us
20. He compliments me
21. He does little things like making the bed and filling up water bottles to show he cares
22. He is honest
23. He has a forgiving heart
24. He takes out the trash
25. He constantly makes me laugh
26. He puts me first
27. He appreciates me
28. He values me
29. He is respectful
30. He loves life
31. He is not a worrier
32. He has a great smile {i love it}
33. He protects me
34. He knows me better than anyone
35. He is kind
36. He’s a great friend
37. He picked me.
38. He’s my biggest fan
39. I can’t get enough of him
and, most of all..
40. He loves me unconditionally and I know no one could love me like he does

    This is really cute! I made a list like this for my husband just before we got married for his birthday. (I lucked out and he made one back 🙂 ) But it’s an excellent way to let someone know you appreciate them. 🙂
    I actually just found your blog through Emily’s tweet! Love your layout!

    I love this. It’s perfect. Brilliant to like, print it out and keep it somewhere like in your Bible, so on bad days or during fights, you can take it out and remind yourself. LOVE it. xo

  • #AD I love seeing kids get opportunities to learn by doing. 🔨

The Home Depot just launched Skills Explorers, a new Path to Pro curriculum created in partnership with Scouting America for youth ages 11–17 that introduces them to hands-on skills like carpentry, electrical work, and other skilled trades.

It’s a chance to build practical skills, confidence, and maybe discover an interest or future possibility they hadn’t considered before.

If you have a kid or teen who loves building, making, or figuring out how things work, this is definitely worth exploring. 🤍

  • 🎃 Halloween gift ideas just got a whole lot cuter.

These Halloween icon glasses make the BEST little Halloween gifts! 👻 I filled each one with an eye mask, hand sanitizer, lip balm, candy + a mini clip for a gift that’s fun, useful, and actually leaves them with something they can keep.

Perfect for Halloween parties, girls’ night, teacher gifts, coworkers, or neighbors. 🧡

  • IYKYK… 👀🎄 An icon-style glass for $5?! At @pOpshelf?! Say less. #pOpshelfPartner

And it wasn’t the only find that had me doing a double take—the $3 dish, $5 drum candle and $10 décor find were TOO good.

I’m loving how these affordable Christmas finds came together to create that high-end, collected look without the high-end price tag. ✨

If you’re decorating for Christmas, head to your local pOpshelf before your favorites sell out!

  • Advent can be such a beautiful season, but it’s easy for the busyness of Christmas to take over. 🤍

This year, I’m being more intentional about slowing down, focusing on Jesus, and creating meaningful moments with my family and The Daily Grace Co.’s new Advent Collection is such a beautiful way to do that. ✨

The 2026 Advent Collection is officially here!

  • Getting a head start on fall at our family’s property 🍂🌳 There’s always something that needs to be cleaned up, and having the right tools makes those projects feel so much more manageable.

This DEWALT 20V MAX 12 in. Brushless Cordless Chainsaw Kit from @homedepot made clearing out branches and deadwood so much easier. It’s lightweight, easy to maneuver, and I love not having to deal with gas, fumes, or a cold start.

If you’re tackling your own fall projects, head to The Home Depot - the right tools make all the difference. 

PRO TIP: Use The Home Depot App’s Product Locator while you’re in store to make finding things so much easier (I’m talking aisle and bay numbers - so simple).
