hi! i'm jenn. what you make it is a faith blog on finding purpose

purpose

so

i know many of us at this point in time are figuring out what to do together in these long hours at home. date nights at home can still happen

they're still important. date nights in are a great way to surprise your spouse

use youtube to teach yourselves something new - like salsa dancing

visit the antique store

browse through old fashioned items

do that one thing you saw on pinterest that you thought would look really cool in your apartment that one time that you pinned but never made happen
