The binder is just easier to plan with, bigger pages and filling things out in a book is difficult (especially when it comes to copying forms).I also think the layout is a bit better in the binder."
"I've added some sections and taken out sections that aren't applicable and I hole punch every vendor quote or email I get and place them in the correlating section. For example, if you're like me and say : you and your honey decide to take a long weekend trip to the mountains in October and it's August, and then you obsess over planning EVERY.SINGLE.DETAIL until you actually leave - you're going to be exhausted. You're going to be so burnt out from planning what time you leave, what time you get back, triple checking your Airbnb reservations, making dinner plans for at least one night, what you're going to pack and "is the weather going to cold?" Make sure you give yourself a break from planning every so often :)."

By learning the five love languages, you and your spouse will discover your unique love languages and learn practical steps in truly loving each other. While working as a marriage counselor for more than 30 years, he identified five love languages: Words of Affirmation, Quality Time, Receiving Gifts, Acts of Service, and Physical Touch. Gifts are highly important to one spouse, while another sees fixing a leaky faucet, ironing a shirt, or cooking a meal as filling their "love tank." Although some readers may find choosing to love a spouse that they no longer even like hoping the feelings of affection will follow later a difficult concept to swallow, Chapman promises that the results will be worth the effort.

A big part of improving your relationship with your spouse or boyfriend/girlfriend is to sticking with a date night to make sure you have quality time together. My wife and I have been together for 10 years and got stuck in the rut of an endless routine of doing everything we could for our kids, followed by daily chores and left little time for ourselves. Committing to 1 date night a week has really helped our relationship and improved our communication."
"I was once asked to read this book by the only person in the world I love.....I refused. It's not a good feeling as a man to agree to read a book on relationships because you feel like you're putting everything into the authors hands.....and what if he "doesn't understand" or what if the advice doesn't apply to us.....what if it makes things worse between us because he advises things we don't believe in.....no....I'm not reading that I told her. I thought no matter what we would always figure each other out and we would be ok......I didn't see being asked to read this book , was a cry out from the woman I love hitting a boiling point and her attempt to communicate to me in a different way......the same things she's been trying to for a long time..... Instead of being some guys opinions or......typical shrink talk that in no way could apply to each specific relationship.......I found it to be a book that opens up the mind to the understanding of love.....and how it is not this one universal "language" we all feel we should be the same with.....I once told her...."nobody taught me how to love, I'm growing....learning".....I pleased with her to understand I love her.......we simply didn't have an understanding of how and why we didnt approach love the exact same way as each other.....only makes sense that it should be the same right? I will just end it like this..... last night I took a stretch that I have been doing for over 2 years and I changed it in a slightly different way....... a lot of the pain I normally get daily is gone....... just to put a spotlight on that sentence .....I'm saying that what I had been doing for so long..... trying to cure one of the biggest problems in my life that hadnt been working............that I continued doing........ believing in and depending on.... to be my much needed answer.......It wasn't until I allowed the idea of the same stretch applied in a different way, that I ALLOWED life to be better for me. You have to go into the book with an open mind because if you do it with the mindset of wanting it to say what it is that you want to hear.....then you can never let the life-changing words happen.......you're learning a language as you read...not what's right and wrong but what was being lost in life. Keep in mind this is a book about the language of love so if you think about when you go to school to learn a different language...you are taking the difficult step of taking time there in order to understand.....be able to take what you understand and apply it.....and be able to communicate in a NEEDED way once you learn....AND THEN USE......communicate and UNDERSTAND eachother."
"The audio version is great too, because you can pop it in your vehicle and just have little tidbits to think on here and there throughout the week."
"This book has been a great help to me."
"Everyone, read this book!"
"Really comes to show you why people are the way they are."

Find Best Price at Amazon"When I first started planning weddings five years ago (for friends, I had no idea at the time that I'd one day be doing this professionally) I read pretty much every wedding planning book I could get my hands on that didn't seem totally insane, because that's what I do when I want to learn about something - I read. Things like how to find an affordable venue, and that it's OK to sometimes cry during the planning process, and why you should focus on your ceremony, and when and why you need to ask for help. It pulls from many of the wisest posts on the site, but is in fact an entirely new piece of work that is valuable in an entirely different way to anyone who's planning a wedding. The wedding industry in America gets a bad rap for a reason - it's generally full of people and organizations who are trying to get you to buy more, do more, stress more. Couples who are getting married need all the help they can get in getting away from this - it's insidious, and can trap even the most sane, laid back people into thinking that they have to do things a certain way, because it's a wedding and it has to be perfect."
"I'm the first of my siblings to get married, and one of the first of my close friend group too--so good advice has been something I've been looking for."
"This book has been a godsend and is definitely my FAVORITE of my wedding planning books. Its only minor issue is that it does not include or come with a "planner"/notebook for taking notes or completing planning tasks--the book is, however, all about doing what YOU want to do, so I get why it wouldn't really work to give you a generic checklist--anyway, if you want a checklist/"planner" you'll have to get that somewhere else (though, let's be honest, you probably have at least a small stack of wedding planning books at home, I'm sure one of them has a place to write things down)."
"), and some cute ideas if you are blessed with craft skills, or have an army of talented family and friends to help."

I typed out all the prompts in a word document so I could remember what I had written and try to keep each one different.

Best Honeymoon Travel Guides
Instead of jaunting off to honeymoon on a posh Pacific island, the newlyweds hitched up their trusty Ford diesel truck (nicknamed “SEEMORE”) and started exploring America. Their “long long honeymoon” journey stretched over 60,000 miles, ranging from Key West (the southernmost point in the United States) all the way up to Banff, Alberta (that’s in Canada, eh?). LONG LONG HONEYMOON - LIVING LARGE IN A SMALL TIN CAN combines the best of Sean's blog entries with original never-before-published anecdotes of the trip.
Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"The book is from their early days as RV traveling - videographer, Bloggers, and many of their early efforts mirror the stories in the book, but often with more information than the videos had time for."
"The first video we saw was the one re: how to sleep in an RV... My husband DOES think I have assumed Cult Member status, however, and he takes every recommended purchase urging with a grain of salt.. til we buy the product and he has an epiphany!"
"I absolutely loved this book."
"If you are looking for a spark for your adventurous spirit, or some rather helpful tips to improve your RV life, or just a look at the humorous side of traveling in a tin can, then you will enjoy this book."
"`Long, Long, Honeymoon - Living Large in a Small Tin Can'. As an enthusiast and future Airstream owner, I am always on the lookout for a new source of information. When I discovered that Sean had written `Long, Long, Honeymoon, Living Large in a Small Tin Can', I was excited at the prospect of seeing him and his work in book format. I have a keen appreciation of the fact that all this wouldn't have been possible without the love and enthusiastic dedication of Sean's wife Kristy, who is often behind the camera in his videos, and sometimes in front of it."
"It is fun, helpful, and at times absolutely hysterical, like the opening salvo on the dreaded 1st time sewage tank dump: "The most unpleasant moment occurred after I removed the cap that covers the sewer opening on the side of our camper."
"Good read."
"Enjoyed the wry sense of humor and insights in to a lifestyle that many aspire to."
