Georgia Bucket List
It’s hard to believe that we are heading into our final year being stationed in Georgia. There are still so many sights to see and it feels like if I don’t get these things written down and planned out, it will be wheels-up before we know it and the opportunities will have passed. There are Continue reading

Signing Day
Exactly five years ago, Ryan took an oath and joined the United States Army. Around that same time that Ryan was signing away his life for God and country, I felt God nudging me to sign mine over to become my kids’ primary teacher.

Adios 2015
Since 2008, the first year I began blogging, I have almost always taken time to end each year reflecting on the previous months, experiences, and milestones.

I decided Continue reading

The Great Purging
About two or three times each year, I have a huge emotional come-apart when I see our kids’ playroom. There’s stomping, pouting, threats, crying, and anger. And that’s just me. I see my kids cower in wide-eyed fear of their mother on a mission. I feel justified in making this scene because usually only months Continue reading
