Becoming the Wife God Created Me To Be
Are you listening to me?! I get that question from my husband a lot. You see, Jason talks to himself. All the time. He says it’s how he processes his thoughts, something to do with being ADD and all that stuff. So after about a year of being married and hearing him talking to himself and not me, I began tuning him out. He would walk into the room and start talking to me and my brain just “turned [...]
This is a Sponsored post written by me on behalf of Social Power for SocialSpark. All opinions are 100% mine. Have you ever been totally frustrated with something as a consumer? Maybe you are annoyed at hidden costs, or maybe you wish airlines would let you check one bag for free. If you are a blogger, perhaps you wish that Google Adsense wouldn't just delete accounts with no warning. You know people agree with you on your issue, but there [...]
Do you practice contentment in marriage? Are you rejoicing in what you have, or looking at other couples and wishing you had what they have? Practicing Contentment in Marriage. So many times I see other couples (and read other blogs posts) where the men look just amazing. They open doors, fix meals, sweep floors, and all sorts of other things that Jason just doesn’t do. Not that he’s horrible. But he don’t open doors for me. He walks in front [...]
Do you ever feel like your priorities get messed up? I know I do. Are your priorities according to God’s plans? Last year when I started this site, I had a vision. To encourage and inspire christian homemakers. It was a Godly vision and it became the mission of this blog. But somewhere along the line, my priorities got screwed up a bit. In my goal to achieve this vision for A Proverbs 31 Wife. I missed my [...]
Easy Mounted Photos you can make yourself! Mounted photos make great decor, and as I discovered, they are very easy to make. We have this lovely flowering bush in our back yard. A couple weeks ago when my mom came up and we all went for a walk and took photos, she took a photo of my bush. Then she put a verse from the Song Of Solomon on it and printed it for me. So pretty and springy, [...]
Welcome back to another Matrimonial Monday! The first post I wish to feature Comes from Delora Now. My Lack of Respect for My Husband, Led to My Son’s Disrespect. I love her honesty and openness. Her post was very similar to mine in that she talked about our words and the tone of voice we use. Her wake up call was when her son began… Read the rest here. The Happy Wives Club is a blog I just [...]
I’m not a mom yet, but I have to admit it looks scary. I wanted to talk about the high calling of motherhood for a couple of reasons. With Mother’s day coming up, and hubby really wanting us to start a family, I just keep coming back to this subject in my mind. The High Calling of Motherhood: Being a mom looks scary to me. Not because of stretch marks, wrinkles and grey hairs; I already have a few of [...]
One of hubby and I’s favorite thing to do, is take nature/Sunday walks. Admittedly as noisy as we are, we scare off all nature that can run or fly away, but we still enjoy it. A couple Sundays ago, my mom and the kids came up, and we all decided to go for a walk. The boys had binoculars and mom, sis and I had cameras. Yup, fun fun! I thought I would share a few, because, well, we are [...]
When you are talking to your man, how’s your tone? Are you nicely asking, nagging, demanding, whining? How’s your tone? Or in this case mine. Saturdays we sometimes sleep in, hubby more so than I. I wanted to go to the store and knew we didn’t need a lot, so we could walk. I went into the bedroom and told Jason to get up, because I wanted to go to the store. He asked what that had to do with [...]
A juicing revolution. If you remember at the start of my juicing, I referenced the Reboot with Joe website. Another blogger had mentioned that site as a great source of info and I really liked it. That site was where I went for encouragement to continue, where I went to ask questions, (there was a nutritionist forum that I asked several questions at) and where I went to celebrate. There was one aspect that I missed though. I think I [...]
With today being the National Day of Prayer; I thought I would talk a little bit about praying as Jesus taught. A really good quote I once heard goes like this: “We don’t pray to tell God what to do; we pray so God can tell us what to do” <– Tweet that. The quote got me to thinking about prayer and how Jesus prayed, so then I decided to look up just what he told his disciples about prayer. [...]
Who is the Fairy Hobmother? Well let me tell you, he (don’t get to caught up in the mother part) knows how to make a blogger’s day! I’ve been following this little guy all over blog land, enviously watching as he spread his fairy dust on other blogs and I invited him to stop by. Why would I invite him to stop by here? Well, the fairy hobmother and his fairy overlordsare so smart, that they have figured out bloggers [...]
Since I’m trying to get my house spring cleaned, I though I would share a cleaning and organizing kitchen cabinets 101 post. I love my kitchen and often wish it were bigger. But, when it comes to cleaning and organizing kitchen cabinets, and all that fun stuff, well I’m grateful for a small kitchen. My cabinets do not go clear to the ceiling, instead I have this open space up there that gets used as storage. My ivy and grapes [...]

You will want to find a tub that is mostly [...]
Today I want to share with you a shop belonging to one of my sponsors. Duplika Handmade. Your shop name; Duplika Handmade, I have never heard of that. What does it mean, and what was your inspiration for choosing that name? The name Duplika has been with me, in my head, since I was a child. I first heard the name on a morning cartoon. It was one of those words or names you hear and instantly take a liking to but you [...]

It takes a strong woman to cheerfully submit to her husbands requests. It takes a strong woman to give up what she wants in honor of her man. Yes, it takes a strong woman to stand up for herself, but it takes an even stronger woman to stand up to herself. Tweet that. It Takes a Strong Woman to Respect her Man! For years women were considered the weaker gender. Until one day women stood up and said “that’s enough, [...]

Hello, my name is Kendra. I am married to an amazing young man
