Quality Time Schedule For Couples

December 30, 2020 by Annie Chesson Leave a Comment

Quality Time Schedule for Couples - Prioritize your quality time with your partner instead of scrolling through social media and realizing it's almost time to go to bed! This downloadable, printable schedule will give you varied, intentional quality time ideas for every week night!

Let me paint you a little picture here of an average evening - I've been spending the day with a pack of adorable, tiny humans, we get them all tucked in to bed, shut their doors, and breathe a lovely sigh of success for wrapping up another day with them. Maybe it was life-givingly awesome, maybe it was a giant dumpster fire, maybe it was a constantly fluctuating mix of both (almost always), but ...

Happy Monday, internet friends! Please enjoy this picture of my painfully adorable baby + a side of under-eye mascara residue from the day before. Coming at you today with something different.

A Letter to Wives with Deployed Husbands

June 22, 2016 by Annie Chesson 57 Comments

About half way through Seth and I's deployment, I came across a blog post written by an Army wife titled "Why You Will Rock This Deployment" or something similar. And it was absolutely amazing. As a military wife, it is so awesome to meet or connect with someone who is going through the exact same thing as you because, let's face it, we are living an extremely unique lifestyle that no one really ...

I usually don't write posts like this (non food/DIY related), but I wanted to do it for Seth and ...
