Marriage Monday: Spouse vs kids- Finding a balance

I love Dr. Matt Townsend.  He is a relationship coach, life coach and communication expert. My husband and I have gone to his Date Night and laughed so hard and left feeling uplifted and determined to grow closer together. I have also done his Life Changer program. I am a huge fan! Watch this short 8 minute video with some great insight and reminders to find balance in your marriage.

1. Find the compliment not the critique.
2. Lose the excuse that you do not have time. Invest your time it what really matters.
3. Focus on the important and not the urgent.
4. You have to get time together on the schedule. Every single day. If it's not on the schedule, it's not going to happen!

Marriage Monday: Add some sweetness to your marriage!

Does your hubby like sweetness as much as mine? My poor husband is sweet deprived most of the time because if I keep it around I will eat it, so I just don't get it very often. I thought these little love notes (free printable) that go along with candy bars were fun. Check them out here.  Don't see what you are looking for?

Marriage Monday: Lucky In Love

I didn't tell Taylor about this new Marriage Monday series ahead of time. He saw my post and immediately texted me to tell me how much he loves the idea.  He just may be more excited than I am about it! I made him promise not to read my post each week. He said he will wait a week and hold me accountable and make sure I did what I shared and I hope he does!

I know we are still a couple weeks away, but 1. I'm a planner and 2. I love the holidays and any excuse to celebrate. With that said, I love these St. Patrick Day printables by the Dating Divas.

Check it out, print them out and then come back to this post and comment! Share with us your lucky man's reaction! Here are the links: here and here.

Marriage Mondays

Okay ladies, I am back in "business". I took a few week hiatus while I moved, but am ready to blog again. Not only am I back, but I am going to start a new series called "Marriage Mondays." I realize my blog is Motherhood in the Major Leagues and is about Motherhood, but I could not be a mother without my wonderful husband nor could I be the mother I strive to be without his support and encouragement, so I feel it is just as important if not more important to strengthen that relationship. Every Monday I will be posting an article, idea, activity with the purpose of nurturing that relationship.  This is something that has been on my mind for some time now.

Let me start this series by introducing you to my babies' daddy without getting to mushy. Or maybe mushy is okay for Marriage Mondays? I don't know how I feel about it... Taylor and I met in July of 2009, were engaged in September 2009 and married December 2009. I knew I was going to marry him the moment we met. In fact I may have made a wish on a dandelion during that first date. The next day we were both saying we were crazy, but were talking about marriage and both knew it was right. Taylor is "tailor made" for me. We love watching documentaries and the Bachelor together. Our favorite series right now is Blacklist and we enjoy laughing together as we watch reruns of The Office. Our favorite pass time also includes reading funny product reviews. A perfect date would include sushi, although we love Buffalo Wild Wings and Texas Roadhouse. This man of mine works so hard for our family and is the most selfless person I know. I am so blessed and I am so excited for this series to give me a little push to do more for him. Sometimes and I hope you can relate, but it is so easy as a mother to put the kids needs first and push the hubs to the back burner. So here is to Marriage Mondays! Be sure to check in next week!
