Empowering women through my personal stories is how I want to give back to the world. Raising kids, maneuvering life, and learning who you are.
The official countdown for summer break is in full effect! And yo, I won’t even lie. I’m ready for summer break to begin. Over the past week or so I’ve suggested how to keep your child learning over the summer and how you as mom should have some fun this summer. Well, this week I … [Read more…]
It’s that time of year for so many of us. That’s right, PCS season. Time to get up out of dodge! Time to purge and pack your crap and go. When I first became a Navy wife Facebook didn’t exist. The only thing accessible in meeting others outside of your local friends was a thing … [Read more…]
