Not doin' any kissin' 'cuz I'm not married, but I know this...all that kissin' is paying you dividends! Case in point: Potty trained toddler! : )

Well I have kind of combined your challenge with the I Cor 7:5 Challenge...*grin* I'm amazed at how much fun and how close we have gotten. It is sad to see how much of each other we have been missing out on for so long. Can't wait to read the inspiring marriage material coming up!

I tried to go to all the doorprize sites and leave a comment but some of them didn't have a comment place. However, I did visit them all and they are lovely!

IE Mommy Blogger said...

This is going to be so much fun! Thanks for thinking up such a great idea. I'm looking forward to writing my post to honor my hubby. My site has my prize all listed...in fact I love giving away presents so much I had to add another. Swing by the IE Mommy and join the fun. This is great..Your site and blog ROCK....off to kiss my hubby (again!)

Jessica D. said...

I love the his and her My spouse Rocks T-shirts. Hope I win!!

marky said...

I LOVE the t-shirts.. what a great way to honor your spouse!

Cheryl said...

I really could use the cleaning service...lol. I also love the his/her tshirts. This is such a cool idea.

Grateful for Grace said...

I visited the sites, but thought I was supposed to comment here. I have been wanting one of the My Husband Rocks tees for awhile. Was waiting until I wasn't pregnant anymore or nursing (I'm coming up on 11 mo nursing, so the end *could* be near enough). The cleaning bid site is brilliant. The jewelry in both places darling. The glittery ear buds, chic! Can't wait to link up!

Jesica said...

How wonderful and generous you are! I loved the tee's and even if I don't win, may have to splurge on those. It has been fun having the "kissing challenge" and hope that it doesn't just last until valentines day, but all year long. Thanks for the incentive to honor my husband like he deserves.

I LOVE the Rock t-shirts. When we got married we had matching shirts, "I am in love with a married man----my husband" and vice versa. We still wear them and now I want some of these shirts. LOVE THEM!!! The lavender sachets and valentine's corsages look lovely, too.

Tamara B. said...

I visited the sites and left comments where you could. Wonderful giveaway and thank-you to all of the sponsors!
