I am one of those women who doesn't really care for Valentine's Day.

In fact, I might just get mad if my husband got me chocolate and roses on February 14.  I would know that he never even thought about giving me a gift for Valentine's Day, but bought it because his mom asked him to.

Do you ever feel like you’re walking a tightrope with a basket of eggs on your head? You make one slight move off balance and all of the eggs come crashing down, as you fall to the floor. 

As a Christian wife, homechooler, housekeeper, friend, business owner, and writer, I have many eggs in my basket. I am careful that each is tucked in safely, as I walk the rope trying to balance them all, but sometimes true balance is hard to achieve.

After years of marriage I can tell you that marriage isn’t easy.. not easy AT ALL! In fact, it just might be one of the most difficult things you ever do.. especially as a wife. I think we’re lured in by our childhood dreams of love, a beautiful wedding, and the forever we read about in fairy tales when we were little. What everyone fails to tell you is that within a year or two (after that honeymoon phase passes) you’ll find everything your spouse does to be THE single most annoying thing you’ve ever seen in your life.

As busy moms, we mostly spend our days running after little ones, changing diapers, folding laundry – or, in my case, ignoring it – or acting as the neighborhood shuttle. By the end of the day, when Daddy returns home from work, we’re done. Or, maybe you are the one who leaves every morning and returns home, at the end of a busy day, only to want to visit with your kids and kick up your feet.
