13 Most Popular Posts of 2013

2013 has been very, very good to me and to this here little blog of me. I am so extremely blessed beyond belief by all of your support and faithfulness to Simply Clarke. I can’t wait to see what 2014 has in store for Simply Clarke, but here is the “best of 2013′ according to you!

 

1. 10 Tips For A Christ Centered Marriage
This post is really special to my heart because I wrote it one night when I was just really reflecting on what I love about marriage and my husband. On top of that, it was my first post to really hit it big on Pinterest.

 

2. 20 Cheap Fall Date Ideas
If you’re looking for fun date nights, this post is for you… I like to spice it up a bit

 

3. 25 Verses To Pray Over Your Husband
If you aren’t praying for your spouse, who is? Seriously, I take the job of being a prayer warrior for husband seriously. I love him irrevocably and want to be lifting him up in prayer throughout the day.

 

4. Encourage Your Husband To Lead
This post was written out of a conviction I felt about not really being my husband’s helpmate in this area. I want to be encouraging to my husband and support him in his spiritual walk.

 

5. R-E-S-P-E-C-T
What does it really look like to respect your husband in 2013?

 

6. My Husband Is Awesome… Even When He’s Not
Don’t get me wrong, I love my husband to pieces, but he may or may not drive me crazy at times! Here is a list I came up with of things I love about him even on rough days.

 

7. iPhone 5s Wallpaper Freebies
Get yourself a free background!

 

8. Tips For Your About Page
Your about page normally receives one of your highest “page view” counts… is yours intriguing?

 

9. Do You Talk To Your Husband?
Do you really talk? – beyond surface level day-to-day interaction…

 

10. 10 Ways To Glorify God At Work
Practical ways to make Christ the center of your workplace throughout your daily life

 

11. 5 Ways To Make Christ The Center Of Your Home
Moving into our new home was such a blessing this year and with that, came a desire to claim our home as a place for the Lord.

 

12. Your Husband’s Number One Fan
You are your husband’s biggest cheerleader.

 

13. Blogging Lessons, The Hard Way
I started this blog just a little over a year ago. I have learned so much in the past year, but some things, I learned the hard way.

    LOVE this!!! Thank you SOO much for your tips! I really like your “Don’t compare your beginning to someone else’s middle.” I needed to read that again. My husband keeps telling me something along the same lines, and it’s nice to read it. I’m going to write it down in my “scratch pad” where I write out my blog ideas. 🙂

  • #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!
