You already know why this post is short and sweet? That’s right; I gotta get me some sleep cause I have some things to do to prep for tomorrow evening. Gotta get my outfit right and take a run with the hubby, which will result in a nap before my real day begins. Lol Anywho, keep scrolling.

Celebrate Our Veterans – Got Your Six
Inspiration.Fit is all about empowerment and following your passions – whatever they may be. They also love connecting with people and creating a relationship with their customers. So it’s no surprise that when Reinalyn gave them a call about T-shirt sizes, the conversation changed into one about shared passions. Reinalyn, an Army vet and full time working mom, shares Inspiration.Fit’s passion for empowering and supporting women. The team encouraged her to follow that passion and grow it into something she could be proud of! Not too long after, they heard from her again…

Mini Golf Near Pearl Harbor
Are you heading to or new to Naval Base Pearl Harbor? We moved here right after Christmas, the weather was nice, and the kids were ready to head out to explore. We were all excited about our new adventure and wanted to hit the ground running. Of course, you MUST check out a beach or two within the first couple of days, but there were a few days I thought it was just a little too cool. Procrastination Jonz wanted to do a little bit of Go-Cart racing and play Mini Golf. So, here I am on the search for Mini Golf near Pearl Harbor Navy Lodge.

Finding My People
If you live in the same place for years, you may or may not understand this story, but I gotta share it anyway. I’m sure I’ve mentioned before that we are a Navy family, this means we move every couple of years. Besides the stress of moving, there’s the stress of just having your circle of friends. Making friends as a military wife is stressful and can be a wild ride.

Dancing The Night Away
The Navy Supply Corps celebrated their 222nd birthday this year. It was a fantastic night dancing the night away with my sailor. We are currently stationed in Hawaii, still, brand new to the island and learning all the cool and beautiful things about it. Last weekend, hubby and I attended the Supply Corps Ball and had a blast.

Things A Non Military Spouse Do Not See
Before I became a Military Spouse (Navy wife), I didn’t know, understand, nor care about anything dealing with our military. I respected and supported the sailors, soldiers, airmen, marines and coast guards, but their lives were not in the forefront of my life. And oh, I REALLY DIDN’T get the spouse. Because I mean, she is sitting at home chilling with her family and friends while her significant other is deployed to the middle of the ocean, flying overhead or out in the field. And what the heck does deployed mean anyway? Yes, I was that nonmilitary spouse (although, as I type this I realize I wasn’t a spouse of…

Flexible Careers For Military Spouses: By SpouseLink
Finding a flexible and portable career is one of the greatest challenges to military spouse employment. Unpredictable servicemember work hours and long deployments place military spouses in a single parent role that often makes a traditional 9-to-5 job impossible. Other hurdles for traditional jobs come from relocating to remote or overseas duty stations where language barriers, legal issues, and geography create local employment challenges. Yet, with all these challenges, there are employment options that enable military spouses to pursue careers that are compatible with the highly unpredictable, unstable, and mobile reality of today’s military families.

Teaching Kids About Money With The Moonjar – Carlos Made It To Hawaii
There’s nothing like a smile on a child’s face when they’ve reached a goal. The Softball Chef, Equestrian Girl Forever and Fashion Diva Girl all had the biggest smile the day we said, “yes, Carlos will be joining us in Hawaii.” No, I wasn’t going to actually leave him, but we told the girls they had to help pay the fees to ship him here. The agreement was half. When families PCS (military move) there are costs associated with moving pets that must come out of our own pockets. There is also a process that happens depending on the country (in this case, we remained within the US, but Hawaii has…

Teresa The Motorized Bot Kit
When I first saw KitHub’s Motorized Bot, I had to check it out. This was the perfect opportunity to have my children build a motorized robot kit. My eldest daughter is in STEM Academy in our county school district. It’s a fantastic program where kids can apply beginning in 4th grade. They accept 48 children from applicants from all around the county. The students must maintain a certain GPA (3.0) to continue in the program. Being that we are a military family, we moved to the area during the middle of her 5th-grade year.
