As you may know, I'm a big believer in marriage. I think it's important to strengthen our marriages in any way we can.

I love playing board games and wish we got to play them more often. Here's our book/storage shelf in the middle of the room. At the bottom of this post, I give you a sneak peek into what's in those storage bins. Yes, we have a Spongebob stuffed animal. It was a random silly gift from my dad. (family joke) Above that shelf, I have some wall art. I just used frames and scrapbook paper to make this Continue Reading
