Hi! I'm Toni Tiu,
and I've been blogging at
at Wifely Steps since 2003. This started as a blog to help newly weds adjust to married life. It has evolved into a home and parenting blog. I write about things close to my heart -- good eats, good reads, family, marriage, and the little things that make everyday happy.

I love, love, love that you reply to comments. Something I must work on!
Your welcoming nature. I often leave comments on new sites without any response, after awhile I tend to think the person either doesn’t like me (I know, sad lol) or doesn’t care!
A sweet rabbit!
