Marriage: Cooking with Love

Today has been a pretty awesome day for me. Although I took a nap for the second time but that was my fault for taking my pain meds so late! I cleaned my little apartment and did some really good cleaning in my kitchen. There is a feeling so great to me when my husband come, yes I'm talking about cleaning up before he comes home. Wifey duties* but really I  needed to clean since I'm feeling better and it takes a lot off the hubster! So Today was really funny because I usually would have a small meal prepare for Adam when he gets home from work but Adam eats and snacks at work so I knew it would of been a waste of time so off to Napville I went.

After thinking about what we should have for dinner, Adam thought maybe we should make Meatballs! Yum Yum Yum! I made Meatballs before for Adam but he was so pressed on "How should we make them"? He talked and talked about how to make them and I kept telling him "Olive Oil, Frying pan, Egg, Bread crumbs, onions, seasonings..etc. But Mr. Adam just wasn't having it so....we YouTube videos (for his curiosity) me on the other hand, was completely already aware of the steps to Meatballs.

Adam is all about everything turning out Perfect but he just wasn't so sure and I had to remind him that I cooked Meatballs for him before! lol Finally my hubster stared off into space in the kitchen and said "Maybe a Hamburger"? I looked back at him at and "no we are going to make Meatballs"!

We had all the ingredients and Yes we went to Work in that kitchen! The joy of cooking with Love was so great because I had to reassure my husband that everything was going to be okay. We just have to cook with love and make it happen!

After so many "No you doing it wrong", "wait you burning it", "that's not going to work", "Let me try it"...etc Finally everything came out Perfect! Even taste Great too! I was so pleased with the outcome!

Sometimes in a marriage you and your spouse have to come together and do Team Work. Working together and not alone is always a great way to share ideas. The communication in the kitchen can go up or down but when love is involved, everything turns out great! In this time with my Adam was the best moment we shared together because all we could do is laugh at our mistakes and cheer one another at our best. That is what I call cooking with love. Loving each other more and more each passing day, reassuring each other that everything is going to be okay knowing that we both don't cook much but we can make it a fun learning experience working together!

Love & Relationships: Advice on Finding Love

Love Intervention

"Love is the source of Life". I believe in this quote because it is very true that love is Everything we surround ourselves with. Finding love is not easy but  we somehow put on a smile and carry on saying things like "I'm happy to be single", "I can do everything myself, I don't need a man", "I'm independent" and so on. Really? Is that how you feel or are you blocking yourself off from this world where Love is everywhere? How do you want to live your life? Single? Independent? I have yet seen that woman and I hope a Love Intervention will help you break down those walls. Lets start with Self Love:

Peeling Back the Layers

Self-Love is the best way to start out the healing process. Lets peel back some layers and dig within the inner core of Why you won't give Love a chance". How long does it take for you to stop going to clubs, the bars, and other social gatherings? Don't get me wrong tho! Clubs and social gatherings are Fun with Friends and Birthday Parties. BUT some girls I know have to do it on a Every Week Day/ Weekend tip. That is not a cool look because Trust some ladies go looking for a man, boyfriend, fling, attention or and husband!LOL! (Know your self worth)! How many trips to the mall are you going make to find that  "freakum girl dress"? Yes, been there, done that. Guess what? I didn't find love that way. Let me not start on the "I'ma find me a God-Fearing man in Church"...ummm those are the worse ones! In My Opinion! I'm Just Saying, I heard too many stories about the "Church Route"...I'm not judging if thats where you prefer or found a special someone...My Advice is to Be Caution. Reason why? Umm, lets just say there is no such things in finding the "Best" man in the church...to me they are borderline "rushy". Like theres some issues that are deep with the Find a Man in the Church Route...my opinion. Maybe there is some great ones in there...maybe lol. 

So here my experience when it comes to love. Self-Love as I see it means...Focusing on ME! Finding my "Happy"(another one of my recent Blog you should check out). When I wasn't looking for Love, somehow Love came and found me. I had to learn how to love myself and building a strong relationship with God. Its funny because, once I put my trust in God Everything fell into place. With Self-Love you have to get raw and peel back the layers that are troubling you. If you were hurt in a past relationship, learn to take time to heal and get over the heartbreak. Don't dwell on the Old Love that is not going to work for you. Peel back whatever layer that is covering your heart. Breathe. Take your take and enjoy life. Love will always be there waiting...You just have to be patience and wait til you are ready to get back out there! The Dating World that is!   Remember its okay to Love...its a source of Life.
