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.

  • Father’s Day gift idea ✔️✨

Comment “SHOP” for the links.

I wanted to make something practical, personalized, and FUN for Dad this year… so I turned this Titan by @arcticzone wheeled cooler into the ultimate gift basket 🙌🏻

Filled it with all his favorites:
🖤 @trueclassic outfit
🖤 snacks + candy
🖤 tumbler
🖤 massage gun
🖤 Bluetooth speaker
🖤 @andar wallet

And finished it off with the cutest printable tag 🫶🏼 Such an easy way to make Father’s Day feel extra special without overcomplicating it!

  • Easy summer lunches don’t have to be complicated ☀️

This lunch took just a few minutes to put together, but the real excitement came when the kids saw their new rainbow @ahimsahomeusa mindful mealtime sets 🌈 We loved our original stainless steel sets so much that I ordered four more, and they’ve quickly become a favorite around here.

I love that they’re durable, easy to clean, and designed to grow with our family. Sometimes the simplest swaps end up being the ones you appreciate the most. 🤍

What’s your go-to easy summer lunch for the kids?

  • #Ad FrogTape reMOVEables™ helped us turn an ordinary movie night into the cutest little “Hop Into Movie Night” 🐸✨

Using @frogtaperemoveables made decorating SO easy — we used the poster strips for our Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers movie poster and wire hooks for the vines and garland around the mantel with no tools and no wall damage 🙌

The kids had the best time following the lily pad hop challenge straight to our cozy movie setup 🍿💚

Don’t miss Disney and Pixar’s Hoppers Now Streaming on Disney+!
