Navy Events and How I Survive Them
A few weeks ago, we attended a Navy event. Hubby told me about this weeks in advance, but it went in one ear and out the other. Nope, didn’t even write it on my calendar. He mentioned it a couple of days beforehand. And yes, I tried to get out of it. And of course, he reminded me how much he paid for the tickets, so I sucked it up and went.

You Probably Should Mind Your Own Business
You probably should Mind Your Own Business! This concept seems to be getting harder these days. I mean, I get it. There are times we need to stick our noses in things happening around us. Times when someone is being hurt or mistreated. Otherwise, some of you NEED to MIND YOUR BUSINESS! Maybe the problem isn’t minding your own business as it is that some just need to get some business.

Welcome December and Welcome ME Time
Let’s welcome December. November flew by and this year is going by even faster. As we enter the hustle and bustle season, I hope each of you takes some time for yourself. Nope, don’t even start with the excuses. The goal for 2019 (the goal is now for 2020) is to change the mindset that you must always be last. Girlfriend, NO! It’s ok to put yourself first sometimes. Don’t wait until 2019 to make this change, do it RIGHT NOW. Do it on December 1!

Medal Of Honor Documentary D.C. Red Carpet Event
We moved to D.C. with me kicking and screaming because I didn’t want to leave Hawaii. One of my good friends told me to think about the bright side of the move. Hmmmm….bright side of leaving beautiful weather year round to move to D.C. where it’s cold in the winter? Girl, no! She said, “I think D.C. will be a great move for Mamas and Coffee.” Blah, blah. Well, once I announced the move to my group so many mentioned they lived in the DMV. Oh, snap. My friend may have a point. She encouraged me to step out of my comfort zone and go for it. So, one day…

Maybe I Should’ve Remained Quiet, But Glad I Didn’t
Last week I found myself sitting at a gym along with three other women waiting to hear about a 30-day challenge to transform our bodies. As we sat there having small talk, we chatted about our families, our schedules, etc. Once the owner of the gym came out to talk to us, she mentioned the importance of taking care of one’s health and the importance of self-care.

I Don’t Sign Papers In The Morning
Do you have children who cannot find their shoes, jacket, need something signed, etc. every morning? Well, you are NOT alone. Some days are better than others, but when those mornings hit in my house, I dish out blank stares. There’s no yelling, no fussing. Just blank stares. One of my biggest pet peeves is the signing of forms. No! I will NOT sign anything the morning of. My goal is to teach kids responsibility and respect up in this house!

A Fun Day At The Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery
One goal I set when we found out the family was moving to D.C. was to hit a site once a week or so. Many times as military families we have big goals to explore our new home for the few years we are there, but then we realize we have things to do. Things like work, school, activities, etc. Yeah, normal things like everyone else cause that location becomes our home and not a vacation destination. Then the excuses of why we don’t have time to have fun and explore creeps in. Well, I made the mistake of telling a friend of mine who was also moving to the…
