    I love LOVE how you always put loving on your husband at the top of the priority list…sometimes, with so many needy littles running around, I lose sight of that! Thanks! Your posts are a blessing to me each morning…thanks!

    Great reminder! I love the fact that include our husbands, not just our kiddos, in the love game!!! If we don’t love on our husbands, then we aren’t setting an example for our children when it comes time for them to find that “perfect someone”! I know there are many who feel that their children should come first, and that there will be “plenty of time to spend with their husband later”. Yet, we are not promised a tomorrow… there may not be a later! Love that man now!!! Love those kiddos!! Have fun!!! Build memories!!!! Thanks for the reminder and encouragement!
