Our Blog

After we received a comment from one of our readers, we wanted to get to know our readers better and thought it would be fun if you knew a little about us, our blog, and how it all got started.

Kim

Kim celebrated her ten year wedding anniversary this past March.  She and her husband are the parents of 4 incredible children ages 8, 6, 3, and 5 months.  Kim considers herself a life-long student and loves devouring pretty much any book she can get her hands on.  She thrives on feeling peace in all aspects of life.  Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace Revisited and Total Money Makeover are her go-to books on finances.  Kim also enjoys Dr. Meg Meeker's books Strong Father, Strong Daughter and Boys Should Be Boys.  Another book that Kim likes is No: Why Kids--Of All Ages--Need to Hear It and Ways Parents Can Say It by David Walsh.  Along with reading, Kim also enjoys cooking, specifically baking, and spending time with her family.


The Beginning of our Blog:

As sisters and best friends, Kim and I talk daily about different topics and ideas from articles and books we have read, experiences we have encountered, and observations we have seen in our every day lives. One day we were joking around about how we should write a book to help husbands with some basic things that would strengthen their homes and families; mainly their relationships with their wives. Well, as luck would have it I decided to take a Business Writing and Speaking class. I was given the assignment to start a blog about something I am passionate about. That night I talked to Kim and we decided to start our Helpful Hints for Hubbies blog.


About Our Blog:

We wrote this blog in hopes to help those who read it. This blog was designed to give ideas, tips, and just some basic information that we felt would strengthen family bonds. We know that not everything is applicable to everyone and that each husband, wife, and relationship is different.   We know that women and men cannot be generalized into one category nor should they be. We are all different. We all have different backgrounds, personalities, talents, and tastes. That is what makes this world so great! There are women who do not view romance the same way that we have portrayed in our posts and who would not like some of the ideas that we have posted. There are men who are already phenomenal at these things we are talking about. Our readers are very important to us and we appreciate your feedback and insights.
