Friday Fun Love: Weekend To Remember
I think we all want a weekend to remember in our marriage, don't we? Creating memories is my favorite part of my marriage. Unfortunately for some marriages, the memories we create are not always good. When I get older and look back on my life, I want to be able to say that I had more great moments in my marriage than bad. The truth is, sometimes creating great memories take more effort. Let's not grow lazy in our relationships, instead let's be proactive. A great way to start is by signing up for a Weekend To Remember event. My husband and I have attended a few of these events and each time we are amazed at the outcome. Each time we grow closer together, we discover new things about each other, we get to have time away to focus on each other and escape from life for a bit. Your relationship is worth taking time for!

Thursday Thoughts: Royal Affair
With labor day behind us, it is hard not to
be sad about saying goodbye to summertime. However, there’s always that one collection
that makes us hopeful for a very fashionable fall. I gotta say that this year
Dolce &Gabbana did the job for me.
With a highly embellished and regal collection that even
included beautiful crowns, and I’m sure was inspired by little prince
George, Dolce & Gabbana sure showed
us that you don’t have to be a royal to dress like one; and even better,
some more pocket friendly stores like Joie and Topshop show us that you don’t
even have to spend like one.

Wednesday Wardrobe: Beanies
I am so excited for fall! Beanies are one of my favorite accessories, they had color to any outfit. I group beanies into two categories: Light weight and heavy weight. Light weight is worn more as a fashion accessory and can be worn all day. Heavy weight is worn more for a purpose to keep you warm. It's hard to wear heavy weight beanies as a fashion accessory all day, especially inside. However, no matter your location, you can still enjoy beanies! Here are a few of the fall must haves!
Tip: Use bobby pins if you are having a hard time keeping the beanie on.

Tuesday Treasures: Francesca's
You know that feeling that you get when you walk into your favorite store? You automatically smile, feel happy, feel inspired and love life? Yep! That's how I feel when I walk into Francesca's. What I love about Francesca's is that it feels like a one of a kind boutique. I also love that it has unique gift items. When shopping for others, instead of buying apparel (because you might not know their size) give a cute gift item. Here are some of Francesca's best sellers.

Friday Fun Love: How to Fight Fair
What I have noticed over the course of 6 years of marriage is that how you fight is the life and breath of a relationship. Let's be honest, EVERY couple fights or has disagreements. If you don't, then someone in the relationship is not being themselves. As a result, it can lead to one spouse always giving in to the other spouse, which they will eventually have enough of that and blow up one-day.
Since we know we all fight...then how to do fight in a way that won't be damaging to the relationship? Well here are some of the tips I have learned from books and or learning the hard way.
- Don't say YOU, always say I or me. Example, "You always do this" Instead say "When this happens, it makes me feel____". By approaching things this way, it will allow your spouse an opportunity to respond instead of feeling attacked. Men typically will shut down when they feel attacked. If you want your husband to respond to you and engage in the conversation, then make sure you are using your words wisely.
-Try to stop and think for a second... is this fight really worth jeopardizing the health of our relationship? Half the time we fight because we get emotionally charged about something. If we would take a second to really think about what we are fighting about, we would realize maybe it is just best to let it go. Being right is not always what is right for the relationship.
-Watch the tone in your voice. It is hard for the fight to turn into yelling if one spouse stays calm. If you start to raise your voice then your spouse will counter that by raising their voice even higher. Before long, you both won't be able to hear what you are even saying. Yelling turns into anger and anger turns into things being said that you don't mean. Once this happens, it can be VERY dangerous for the relationship. It is best to try and stay calm and talk about how you feel instead of yell it. It's not what you say, it's how you say it.
It all comes down to taking the emotion out of the moment and trying to think logical about the situation (instead of acting out based on how we feel). I know that is hard to do sometimes but it is like anything else, if we practice a lot at it then eventually we will become better at it. That logical reaction will become more of our forefront thought in the heat of the moment.
Just remember, the goal of our relationships is to grow closer together not apart. So everything you do either brings you one step closer or one step further apart.
