A good man is hard to find, but easy to keep. This doesn’t mean that we can treat a decent man any old way because he’ll just tolerate it. Everyone has a breaking point, and considering how basic and few a good man’s needs are, it’s really not that hard to keep him happy and […]
LOVE that last one.
The last one is awesome and so true! I think it’s so important for father’s to be present in the home.
What great quotes!! Thanks for sharing 🙂
Had to stumble this, I love these quotes so much! And the photos you chose for them are so moving!
Great photos!
That last one is sooooo true!
I love these quotes!
It’s very true! Love that Quote… and it seems like Hunter listens to me when I’m saying a bad word.. and than repeats it right away. LOL
I love this! It really encourages you to be mindful and watch what you do and say.
That’s so true 🙂
Yes, that’s so true.
So true!
exactly!!
I like this. Something I need to remember. Thanks
Beautiful quote, and picture.
oh yes, the old “actions speak louder than words” it’s so true!
Definitely true!!!
So true. I love this quote!
Love this poster!! It is so very true. My mom used to say when I was a kid “do as I say, not as I do!” Um hello?? That doesn’t work!! Now she is wondering why her daughter is rebellious and acting like she did!
As a mom of three kids I am really watching myself. I have become a much better person now that I have little people looking up to me and possibly picking up my bad traits!
A good reminder!
this is so very true! especially with my eldest, she seems to see, hear and know everything about us. 🙂
So true
SpongeBob SquarePants is our son’s all time favorite show, and he is entertained by the Bikini Bottom gang more than anything else. My husband and I love to watch SpongeBob in action as well, and are always on the lookout for new SpongeBob SquarePants episodes. The newest release from Nickelodeon, SpongeBob SquarePants Heroes of Bikini […]
My kiddos have a slight Spongebob addiction. In fact, my boys wall is Spongebob: http://simplybeingmommy.com/2010/12/16/nick-walls-by-hp/.
My kids LOVE this DVD. I remember with my first born I refused to let her watch SpongeBob. She could ONLY watch highly educational cartoons, I was extremely strict but now that I have had my two sons I have let up a bit and let them all watch this along with other cartoons I would have never let my daughter watch way back in the day 😉 I watched this again the other day and thought it was cute my four year old loves this one
So cool you got to review it. We love watching SpongeBob too and DVR it. We have one of the DVDs also and watch the episodes over and over again.
My toddler was exposed to Spongebob while at my mom’s . . . he can definitely point him out now wherever we go!
My kids absolutely love Sponge Bob too! And I love watching it with them. It is one show that I can watch with them and really enjoy and laugh! I will have to look for the Heros of Bikini Bottom
Hunter would love this!! I personally hate spongebob,.. but I”m glad he likes it LOL.
Love how there is a blogger in there!
I love the new Christian movies that have become available, especially high quality Christian movies such as those produced by Sherwood Pictures. Fireproof, Flywheel, and Facing the Giants have all become favorites for me, and Sherwood Pictures recently held a private screening of the movie Courageous, a new Christian film about fatherhood among law enforcement […]
I haven’t heard of any of these with the exception of Fireproof. I wonder if Netflix has any of these…
Looks like a good movie!
I absolutely love movies like this one. I will be sure to check it out, thanks 🙂
Fireproof was an amazing movie!! Hope this one is as great.
I will have to check it out!
I’ll have to check this out. I haven’t heard of it.
How are you supposed to promote a movie when you can’t talk about the plot?
It sounds like it’s going to be a fabulous film. I absolutely loved Fireproof, so I have high hopes! Now if September would hurry up and get here.
I don’t watch a whole lot of tv or pay much attention to what’s coming out so I haven’t heard of these movies! I will check them out now though! Thanks!
Never heard of this, but sounds great.
This looks like a good clean movie.. which we need more of! I have to put that one on my “to watch list”
This will certainly make me cry.
With great difficulty
Might have to check it out!
I don’t think Fireproof was in theaters near us either. I watched it on DVD and although the acting was just so-so, the message was powerful and much needed.
I loved this review! This movie sounds so moving and uplifting, I cannot wait for September to get here so I can go see it now!! Hollywood movies are lacking in quality content, they ruin otherwise wonderful plots with garbage like language and sexual content. I would love to see this movie, it sounds wonderful!
i just saw the movie Courageous this afternoon as our church rented out a local theater to have it shown. PLEASE see it if you can – you will be SO VERY GLAD you did. Presenting real life situations, it shared the Gospel like no other film I have seen, but was not ‘preachy. Our church has a follow-up get together planned for any men interested, not in our church, but in the meeting room at a large grocery store close-by. The movie is a reinforcement of the positive role of courageous men in the lives of their children, wives & community. Please try to see it! God bless you.
I had the priviledge of seeing Courageous on October 8, 2011. It is fantastic! I laughed and cried. This is the best movie I have seen in a long time. I have encouraged several people to go see it, especially parents. I hope the Kendrick Brothers continue to make this type of Christian movies. I hadn’t been to the movies for quite some time, since most of what was available was not fitting to watch. It’s good to know that there are some filmmakers with good, Christian values!
I agree…I love all of their movies, and I want to take all my family and friends to watch it again!
Great post. I have the most amazing man ever. We treat each other with respect. He helps me, I help him. Many of our friends not so. Fighting over trivial stuff all the time, neither one or the other helping so it is never ending with arguments. I’m so glad I found the most amazing husband and will love him forever.
I have a good guy 🙂 & I’m holding onto him. I’ve had ugh less than good guys in the past and I’m soooo glad I didn’t stay. 3 cheers for the good guys. They might be harder to find, but they are worth it 🙂
I love this post, Penelope!
I’ve been making more of an effort and things have better 😉
I love my husband and know he treats me very well! I have several friends that have recently got divorced and when they talk about their exes it doesn’t sound anything like my husband and for that, I’m grateful.
Changing a man isn’t a hobby.
Truth.
I have a great hubby too! He is wonderful, supportive and everything I ever wanted 🙂
Awesome post! Well written and valid points! I have a man who doesn’t need anything, even affection, but I need affection… I think sometimes I am more like the typical “male” and he’s more like the “typical” “female” and I don’t mean this rudely at all, simply that I am not used to a man who has very little needs when I have so many of my own. I do appreciate all his positive qualities though, just wish I didn’t have to financially support him and the kids 😉 It’s a lot to do that alone but not alone … make any sense? I do love love this post though.
Another dead on post Penelope! this post reminds me of the book “love and respect” it is amazing!! Basically, women want to be loved and men need to be respected. You touched on that here and it is sooo true. I have an amazing man and I pray for him and myself every day. I pray that I will stop myself before I open my mouth and run him away.
I love this post! You give wonderful advice. 🙂
