It’s no secret that Alex and I are struggling. We’re fighting our way out of a deep dark hole and some days one or the other of us wants to throw in the towel.
However, it’s also no secret that we still love one another. Alex is so often very giving to me that the other night, after he went to bed and I was restless I decided I really ought to give him a little surprise.
We’re kind of broke (I am SO GLAD I asked him to handle money) so I got creative.
“Hmmm, what do we have in this house I could use?” I thought to myself.
PEARS! We have pears. And cardstock. And I can design a card.
“Self, what should it say?” I thought. And so I scrambled on the internet for a funny quote, but nothing was quite right. Until, I realized – HA! I know what I can use. (It’s not my best work, but it is the thought that counts…I hope!)

So I pulled out a pear, wrapped it in my little note, tied it with some leftover raffia, and tucked it away in his lunch box.
Do you ever think to surprise your spouse this way? What could you use that is on hand and what would you say?
Stopping by from the Spring Fling!

Glad you stopped by!
That is such a cute idea! I love to try to do little things for Ryan that just let’s him know I am thankful for him and love him. Some times it is the smallest things that say the most!

We went through a scary time last summer when I found out my husband was mishandling the finances. He had a hard time letting me have the financial control, but ever since I gained financial control our marriage has grown stronger and we communicate more.
If you love him you will find a way to make it work. Marriage is definitely not a fairy tale, but love, respect and communication are key.

I’m glad your switch-over worked for y’all! Ours is working there because handling the money has forced my hubby to realize that when I said “we have X dollars” I really meant we had “X dollars” rather than his understand of a total of “X, Y, and Z!”
