It’s That Time Of Year
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 called chat groups or the phone hook-up. Yep, I was in a chat group on Yahoo. And yes, I did meet a spouse moving to the same area I was. Nowadays you have the ease of joining very specific groups for your new duty station. BUT, before you can get to your new duty station…

Picky Eaters – You Gonna Learn Today My Darling
Welcome to another one of MomJonz’s quick question and answer sessions! So, do you have a child that refuses to eat the meals you cook? Are you just done and over it? Remember, you’re aren’t alone. Your child also isn’t the first and most definitely will NOT be the last to be a picky eater. When our girls were young and started being the picky little eater I wanted to beg and plead for her to eat. You see I said her (singular), cause after that first rodeo it was for the birds. There wasn’t going to be any begging and pleading for the next two.

Do You Like It Hot?
DadJonz and I have coffee together every morning. Don’t laugh, but we like to pretend we are a couple on the Soap Opera “The Young and The Restless” (minus the drama) hanging out and being all romantic before our day starts. The only difference is our kids make their voices loud and clear as they yell at one another from their bedrooms or yelling at one another for taking the last waffle. DadJonz is always talking about how he wants his creamer or milk warm. “Dude, the coffee will warm it!” The other day he said, “Dear, I want to buy something to warm my creamer before adding it to my…

The Scariest 38 Minutes Of My Life
It’s a Saturday morning at my home on Oahu. I was awake around 6 a.m., relaxing in bed, chatting with hubby, and playing on our phones. He was reading the news, and I was up catching up on Facebook posts. You know, a typical relaxing morning. But this morning became the scariest 38 minutes of my life. DadJonz rolled out of bed and got dressed to go on his morning run. As he did so, he was talking about how he didn’t feel like running. So, I’m a terrible influence and told him just to take the day off. It didn’t take much convincing.

Every little boy and girl dreams of having a pet of their own to cuddle with and play with. Whether it’s a dog, a cat, or a lizard, every child at some point in their life yearns for their own pet.

There are a lot of benefits to growing up with a pet, especially an animal like a dog.

Yes, I See Skin Color and Proud of It
Dear people, this is new and out of my comfort zone. But when you know you’ve been pushed along to share your story you must obey and do so. So here goes…. I hope this starts a new conversation between you and I. I hope it helps with opening discussion amongst neighbors, co-workers, family, and friends. We all can learn from one another, and unless we have an open race conversation, we will continue to have hatred, harden hearts and hurt. It’s ok to talk about race issues, and it’s ok to SEE COLOR. I SEE SKIN COLOR EVERY DAY!
