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. 🙂

  • Some Sam’s Club finds are just too good to wait until you get home to try! 😂🤎
