Take Back Your Marriage!

Everything is fighting for your attention. Bachelor in Paradise is on your TV, you are checking your Instagram, your kids are crying, you have a million things on your to do list and your checkbook just doesn’t quite have enough in it this month. From the second your feet hit the floor, you are constantly busy. You feel like you are barely keeping your head above water, let alone thriving. You feel like there just aren’t enough hours in the day. And your spouse… you are lucky if you get a minute to even say hi to each other.

It is time to take back your marriage.
It is time to take back your life.

Don’t let the weight of this world weigh you down. Its time to prioritize your marriage and take it back.

Take back your marriage from your kids.
Take back your marriage from technology.
Take back your marriage from your finances.
Take back your marriage from your busy schedule.
And, take back your marriage from yourself.

Where do you start you ask? In prayer. On your knees.

Lord, We confess that we are too busy. Everything around us is fighting for our attention and the world is overtaking us. I want to put you first. I want to trust in your word and apply it to my life. I want to know you more and develop a deeper relationship with you. Help me take back my marriage. Help me refocus and reprioritize my life. I want to put you first and my husband second. I want to remove distractions that entangle me and take away my joy. Lord, guide me as I go through this process. Help me strengthen my marriage. Give me grace. Give me strength. I need you Lord. Amen.

Then, follow along for the next 5 weeks as we take back our marriages. Each week I will sharing on one of the topics above and how to reprioritize your life and take back your marriage.

  • If you’re heading to @homedepot anytime soon… SAVE THIS! 👀🧡 I found SO many good home finds on my trip to Atlanta for Home Depot Unmatched, and these made the list!

✨ My favorite: this fan! Our old one was putting out basically ZERO air, and this one has completely changed the game. It’s functional AND so chic… now I want to replace every bedroom fan in our house 😂

🔥 Kevin’s favorite: the grill — and yes, it has a SEAR ZONE!

The RYOBI detail scrubber kit is another must-have (seriously, cleaning just got a whole lot easier), plus the clamp fan kit and so many other smart home finds you’ll want to see.

🧡 Comment SHOP and I’ll send you the links!

  • #ad Back-to-school is here, and my food stash is ready! 📚🎒 From quick breakfasts and grab and go options to snack breaks, after school treats and an easier cleanup, I’m keeping these favorites on hand to help make busy school days a little easier.

🥞 quick breakfast: @belgianboys Bite Sized Waffles and Pumpkin Spice Bite Sized Pancakes are easy to warm up for busy mornings, and pro tip - the waffles are delicious warmed up in the air fryer for a little crisp.

🎒 on-the-go: @katefarms Kids Nutrition Shakes are one of those things I like having ready for the mornings when we’re rushing out the door. They come in Chocolate, Vanilla and Strawberry, so there are a few options to choose from.

🍑 snack breaks: @sunsweetgrowersinc PlumGood Digestive & Defense Plum Juice is a crisp, refreshing option with fiber, zinc and vitamin C, plus the individually wrapped Sunsweet Ones are easy to grab for snacking or lunches. And right now, you can get $2 off your next purchase!

🍩 after-school treat: @bakeful_eats Pink Sprinkle Mini Donuts and Confetti Mini Brownies are soft, fun and made with simple, quality ingredients. They’re also 25% less sugar than traditional mini donuts/brownies, and there’s currently a BOGO offer at Target!

🍦 after-dinner favorite: @bubbies Churro, Strawberry and Cookies & Cream Mochi make the perfect little sweet treat. I think the hardest part is deciding which flavor to pick!

🍽️ less cleanup: @solocup AnyDay Plates + Cups are strong, convenient and grease-proof, making them an easy addition to busy days when I’d rather spend less time cleaning up and more time with the family.

Breakfast, snacks, treats and everything in between… We’re totally prepared for back-to-school! 🙌

  • #TysonBrandPartner Back-to-school always means busy evenings, so I’m all about keeping easy dinner ideas on hand! ❤️

I picked up Tyson® Restaurant-Style Uncooked Crispy Nuggets during my Walmart trip and turned them into this simple Chicken Parmesan Bake. 

They’re crispy breaded chicken nuggets with restaurant-style flavor, they’re easy to prepare in the oven or air fryer, and each serving has 14g of protein.

We love serving them over pasta or on sandwich buns for a dinner that’s easy to put together on hectic weeknights.

Be sure to grab @tysonbrand Restaurant-Style Uncooked Crispy Nuggets the next time you’re shopping at Walmart!
