Father's Day

To my Dad, who I realize more and more was a ‘cool’ Dad. Who was always smiling and laughing and is still putting a smile on my face today. I am grateful for our relationship, for always being there for me and still now. Who taught me more life lessons than I can count, and I am still learning from. I love you Dad!

When Father's Day arrives it is getting a little easier. Especially now I am married to the sweetest man. The man my Dad loved and wanted me to marry. Who is doing his best taking care of me today by spreading kisses all over my face. He is such a good husband. And I know that one day he will be a great father to our future family. 

Recipes for a Happy Marriage

I believe most people, including me, let there crafty side come out when they start planning and decorating for a wedding. When I started planning my wedding back in January I had so many ideas flying left and right. 

I knew I wanted to do something a little bit more than just having our reception guest sign a "guestbook". I wanted a place for people to leave date ideas, advice and jokes. 

That's when I thought of "Recipes for a Happy Marriage". I ordered this plain, wooden brown recipe box from etsy. I went to the local craft store and I bought some white sharpie paint pens. I first sketched, very lightly, with a pencil of a design. Then traced back over the pencil with the white sharpie pen! 

For someone who isn't very crafty, I love how this box turned out! It took a lot of patience, ha, but so worth it! Some wise people let us in on the recipes to a Happy Marriage and some Secrets of being Happy. The box now sits in my kitchen, holding the advice and love everyone at our wedding reception shared with us + my cooking recipes! 

I will soon be sharing one of my favorite cooking recipes from my recipe box: 

Baked Creamy Chicken Burritos!
