I’m sure by now, you’re all getting a little sick of my book talk. You may be thinking, ok, ok, Chaunie, we get it. You wrote a book. Good for you, can we move on now? But before we proceed to moving on, I wanted to offer my own giveaway with my very own book…

Love Without Kids: When You Have Nothing To Say To Your Husband
Last month, my husband and I took our first kid-free vacation in the history of our six years of marriage. And although things didn’t go down as romantically and perfectly as I had envisioned them in my head, the trip was definitely an eye-opener for me. For the first time in a really long time, I was…
10 New Year’s Resolutions for Couples
Sure, there are all kinds of articles about making resolutions for yourself, but how about as a couple? I whipped up a few of my relationship resolutions for 2014 that I’m trying on for size with the hubs, including taking more pictures together (seriously, how many pictures do you have with your man? Alone? Thought…
My Pregnant Honeymoon Bump Shot
Ok, who wants to see a picture of me pregnant on my honeymoon? What’s that? You’re dying to see it? I came across these ridiculously old pictures from the disposable camera that I bought on our honeymoon in the Bahamas for my most recent post over at Babble. (If you’re so inclined, you can read…
7 Ways Blogging Helped My Marriage
Last week, I confessed that there was a time when blogging was destroying my marriage. Like I mean, really, really hurting it.

Ok, fine, I admit it. I’ve had a secret crush on Channing Tatum since I first swooned over his killer dance moves in Step Up. And yes, Ben’s ok with it. I even (gasp) got Ben to go watch the newest Channing movie a few weeks ago with me for our date night. (Check out…
What He’s Really Thinking + Some Other Links
Here a few links for what is hopefully a fabulously lazy Sunday for you all! I’m off to weed the garden, whip out a few articles, and end the day by swimming in my mom’s pool…but who I am kidding, I’ll probably just end up doing the pool part… Love Connection Could Antidepressants Be Ruining…
Why I Make My Husband’s Lunch
Are you the kind of wife who dutifully packs her husband’s lunch and sends him off to work with a kiss each morning? Yes? Well, good for you. Because I’m totally not. But, I have to admit… I have changed my ways a bit in the hubby lunch department. And it changed my marriage. Read…
I Think My Job Is Harder Than My Husband’s
There. I said it. Sometimes, I think my job as a mom, part-time nurse, and fledgling writer is harder than my husband’s. And I think it makes me a jerk. It’s not something I even want to think about, mind you, but deep down, I have the teeniest, tiniest conviction that maybe, just maybe, my…
Marriage, Valentine’s Day, and Disappointment.
I will admit that for as long as I can remember, I have looked forward to sappy, sentimental holidays with all of my heart. I have planned and organized and donned special outfits for the occasions. Green for St. Patty’s day, complete with green cookies (not a Pinterest worthy endeavor, I assure you); scavenger hunts…
