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.

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.

Golden Corral Serving Our Local Veterans
A few weeks ago my family had to make a major decision. This decision consisted of a few tears and a lot of emotions. I won’t lie, I was one filled with emotions and wanted to have a full tantrum in the middle of the field. Like that two-year-old tantrum going down in the middle of a department store.

Mamas And Coffee
Every Friday I have a standing date with another mama. It’s our weekly ritual; we call it Mamas and Coffee. Two mamas that met along the way deciding we needed to take a bit of time each week for ourselves to talk and laugh. Just to let our hair down and enjoy being who we are. Our meeting location?
