Eden Fantasys – keeping it HOT

No matter if you’ve been married 5 years or 50 years sometimes things get well, old. The one thing about long term relationships is you have to constantly work on keeping things hot. 

No one likes to feel like they are old news or they aren’t ‘doing it’ for their partner anymore. I recently read an awesome book about marriage, and keeping your relationship healthy.
His Needs, Her Needs :Building an Affair Proof Marriage by Willard F. Harley Jr. is an awesome book for newlyweds or even those married 20 years! Here’s something that clicked with me as soon as I read it:

The typical wife doesn’t understand her husband’s deep need for sex anymore than the typical husband understands his wife’s deep need for affection. But these two ingredients can work very closely together in a happy, fulfilled marriage. Sex can come naturally and often, if there is enough affection.

 

When I started reading this book I started to realize how different men and women really are. The cuddling I need from my husband is just the same as the intimate moments he desires from me.  Things may not always be as hot as the first few years, but you can continue to ‘bring it’ and keep the passion in your marriage going strong.

 

EdenFantasys is a perfect, discreet way to bring a little bit of fire and passion back into the bedroom. They offer toys, books, massage oils, lubes and even lingerie! My favorite thing about this site is that they are always offering discounts! Check out their homepage to see what specials they are running this month!

One of my favorite things I’ve found on this site is a book called The better sex guide to extraordinary lovemaking

bettersexguide

 

Overview: The Better Sex Guide to Extraordinary Lovemaking is the definitive reference manual to sex from the leading adult sex educator, the Sinclair Institute, creators of the phenomenally successful Better Sex video series.

Based on the latest research in sexuality, each chapter gives readers frank advice on how positions actually work, how to incorporate sexual practices like anal sex and bondage into a sexual repertoire safely and respectfully, and how to resolve sexual challenges such as mismatched sex drive and premature ejaculation. Going beyond where other bestselling sex manuals stop short, this guide covers every aspect of sexual activity from the basics such as anatomy, masturbation, and intercourse to more advanced sexplay such as oral and anal sex, fetishes, sex toys, and role-playing. Explicit full color photography and illustrations will demonstrate key elements, skills, and techniques in a realistic manner.

 

This is the perfect book to get you started back on your way to that hot passion in the bedroom!

Since I know this is soo important to marriages, I want to offer a $30 EdenFantasys’ gift card to one of my lucky readers! Just enter below!

Fitness Friday: Help Me, Help You

As I read through Facebook, and fitness sites, the most common thing I always see when discussing how to keep yourself motivated and going  is “get a support group, an accountability partner, Tweet your goals on Twitter, post your work out’s on Facebook and so on.

I have a wonderful support group of ladies who are there to encourage me, and give me inspiration in reaching my own goals over at Fitspiration for Mom’s.  Hearing encouraging words, and being told I can do it, helps when all my hiney wants to do is sit on the couch.

But no matter who you have to support you, I don’t care if Bob or Jillian is there in your house screaming GET UP AND DO IT, you are only going to succeed if you want it. I’m not trying to belittle the positive results that you can get with you have a group or a partner to be accountable with. But what I am telling you, is it’s not up to them, it’s up to you.

help yourself

When your at home, and the kids are in bed and it’s 10 p.m. and you have the option of working out, or sitting on the couch and eating the rest of the cookies that your kids left out on the table, your partner isn’t there to tell you no. Your group isn’t there to say let’s do this together, or throw the cookies in the garbage to keep you from yourself.  Ultimately you have to want it, to do it.

 I have myself, sat and wrote a post about healthy eating, while eating pop tarts and a big glass of milk sitting at my desk. I have, in the past, exaggerated my numbers because I ate whatever I wanted all weekend and didn’t push myself to get a work out in.

I’ve sat there, feeling sorry for myself because my husband was a jackhole, and my boss and co-workers gave me a hard time at work, and the kids were being hellions and told myself I deserve to eat that pizza and the ice cream in the freezer.

What I’m trying to say is, YOU HAVE TO WANT IT, deep down, to get it. Your heart has to be in it 100%. You have to pick yourself back up when you fall and know each day, each moment, is an opportunity for you to do the right things for yourself.

A Guest Post From The Smart Sweeper (and a Giveaway!)

Howdy! My name is Mike, and I’ve known Krissy for years now because of a shared hobby of loving to win sweepstakes! She recently asked for some guest posts, and I figured this would be as good an opportunity as any to talk about my new project, a website called The Smart Sweeper. It’s still VERY early in its development, but I’ve got some really great ideas for it. One of the things I’m planning on doing regularly is doing giveaways! Sometimes I win stuff that I can’t use, so I will turn around and give it away. Continue reading

Subway Catering – a healthy option for any get together

Most of you that know me, know I LOVE SUBWAY! So of course when they offered me an opportunity to some Subway catering I took full advantage.

Being a working Mom of 3 keeps me busy – I have work until 5 most days, then we have soccer, girl scouts, and all the other things the kids love to do. I’m not always organized enough to have dinner in the crockpot, and sometimes we hardly have time to grab something as were running out the door. Subway has been a staple in our diet, especially in the Spring/Summer when things get really crazy!

What I didn’t realize until recently, is that Subway caters!

When Subway asked me if I wanted to try their catering services, I was completed excited. It couldn’t have came at a better time because my Mom was just asking me what I wanted to do to celebrate my birthday this year.

We just had a small get together, my parents, my sister, husband my 3 kids and my nephew. Though there were just a small group of us, we all have very different taste to how we like our Subway.

When I went onto the online catering menu I was surprised how unlimited the options were. We could choice multiple types of sandwiches (and toppings) as well as breads! The sandwiches are served on a nice platter and made just as yummy as they do when I order my sandwich for lunch.

Now no birthday meal is complete without some type of dessert. Since I’m trying to cut out the majority of sweets, and eat healthier, I opted to get a dozen Subway cookies for everyone to share instead of the classic birthday cake. It was a perfectly sweet ending to a great meal.

The most awesome thing about Subway catering? It’s surprisingly affordable. Most companies will charge an arm and a leg for catering, whether it be for 10 people, or 100. I was surprised how affordable the options are. You can do a giant sub, a catering tray, or Subway to GO meals.
