Recently my husband and I Princess Cut from Watchman Pictures with our oldest daughter, Sunshine. This Christian romance tells the story of a young woman searching for love and finding only disappointment—until her father gets involved. While Sunshine won’t be dating for years yet, I was glad to have the opportunity to start this discussion […]
5 Favourite Activities to Do with My Husband #5Faves Vol. 28
Recently, my husband and I started watching the Real Marriage DVDs by Mark and Grace Driscoll. The second video was about being “friends with benefits.” It made me remember some of our favourite activities when we were dating… activities we haven’t done in a long time because we’ve been busy with work, kids and other […]
Valentine’s Day Ideas for Him
It’s February! Which means it’s time to start thinking about that special holiday coming up (if you haven’t already!). My social media feeds are starting to fill up with great ideas for Valentine’s Day, but most of those seem to be focused on her. It can be hard to find good Valentine’s Day ideas for […]

The Logo Board Game
One Christmas, the kids I babysat found Monopoly under their tree. For the next three months (or more), we played Monopoly every time I was there (several times a week). To this day, I can still dole out the money without checking the rules (two $50s, six $20s, five $10s…) and tell you what order […]
Love Stories Blog Party (share your stories here!)
Five years ago today, I walked into a church wearing a white dress, looking for the guy I’d had a crush on for the past five years. Yes, I was ready for our wedding before he was, but that’s not the story I want to tell today. Today, to celebrate our five-year anniversary, I’m hosting […]
How to Watch The Voice
On Saturday night after we’d put the girls to bed, my husband and I sat down to catch up on the new season of The Voice. He’s been working a lot this week (between law school and his part-time job), so it was nice to snuggle on the couch and sip some honey mead while […]
Why I Watch Reality TV
My husband likes reality TV shows. I’m not such a fan of them They don’t seem “real” to me. The contestants know they are performing before a camera and whatever they do and say is carefully edited before it ever appears on TV. There are a few reality TV shows we enjoy watching together. A […]
For the Love of Theatre
I found it a bit amusing that our Writing 100 drama professor required us to attend a play (or documentary or independent film) for class, because the very first play I saw was for my introductory drama class at university, eight years ago. I went with a friend of mine to a Vern Thiessen play […]
My Best Friend’s Wedding
Yesterday was my best friend’s wedding. It’s been two years coming—she was shopping for shoes for her first date while I was shopping for shoes for my wedding—but it still seems a little unreal. I think back years ago, to the hours we spent playing “house” with our imaginary husbands and favourite dolls for babies, […]
