S.W.A.K. Challenge
Kristen from We Are THAT Family started a challenge a while back. Participants were to kiss their hubbies — really kiss them, no simple little pecks — at least once a day for a month and then post about it during the S.W.A.K. Carnival this week.

No, this is not in honor of that Hallmark holiday later this week, the one we never celebrate in this house. It just happens that this week God reminded me how good I have it in the marriage arena.
