The time has come. After years of wanting to write a book about my experience of having a child with special needs, being a military wife, and eventually homeschooling…I’m writing a book. (At least I’m starting the process.) It all started with the suggestion after Jac’s birth that I should write down my birth experience […]

CALM IN CRISIS…WHAT CAN WE DO?
CALM IN CRISIS Calm in crisis? So it’s been a week since I last wrote…Normal for me. But I’ve now had some time to reflect on things that are happening around us, and I’m trying to stay calm. 🙂 TIME TO PROCESS I know I shared last week that it’s been a time of more […]
FAMILY VACATION 2019
FAMILY VACATION 2019 As a military family, it can be difficult to take an actual family vacation. Over the years, there have only been two occasions that we took a family vacation that didn’t have us going to see family: our honeymoon and a trip to Niagara Falls when Joseph was just six weeks old. […]
HOME-SWEET-HOME
I’VE WANTED TO SHARE This is a long awaited blog. I’ve wanted to share this with you all for so long, and today is the day I get the pleasure of doing it. We sold our first ever home, and now I’m going to share the special and tiny detail that God planned and worked […]
I LOVE BEING A STAY-AT-HOME-MOM
BEING A STAY-AT-HOME-MOM It can be a thankless job. It can be overwhelming. There is no time off, no sick days, and no monetary pay…but I love being a stay-at-home-mom. It’s actually not something I ever planned to be, but there were a number of factors that contributed to me staying home with the kids. […]
THE LONELY LIFE OF A MILITARY WIFE
LONELY LIFE OF A MILITARY WIFE Ah, the lonely life of a military wife…I feel like I’ve been a little “negative” lately, but I can’t apologize because I really need to feel my feelings at the moment. People also seem to be oddly intrigued by military life. Like everything about it…so much so they made […]
SUMMER KICKOFF:THE FIRST FOUR DAYS
SUMMER KICKOFF The first four days of Summer have officially passed. I’m writing this through blurry eyes because I spent a good amount of my afternoon napping. Apparently, I was in need of some sleep. While most of my blogs are informational and motivational, this is just sort of a catch up on what’s been […]
#metoo: Don’t Be a Victim
#MeToo #MeToo has been used over 200,000 times and tweeted over 500,000 in the month of October. This social media movement, much like most social media movements, has already seemed to just “go away”. (At least I can say my Facebook feed isn’t inundated with the hashtag anymore.) But the reality is this movement began […]
Pizza and Movie Night
How Did Pizza and Movie Night Start? Pizza and movie night is by far our favorite night of the week. As a military family, there is very little that is consistent from day-to-day, and while military wives do their very best to keep the lives of their children and husband semi-normal and on a schedule.
