What’s On Your Plate?
Every December I begin to get pensive and reflective on the previous year. I blame sitting in my dark den basking in the glow of our Christmas tree. I think about what has transpired; the fun, the celebratory, and those difficult moments I’m glad we all survived. In looking back I also begin to look Continue reading

The End of an Era (Again)
During the summer of 2015, I happened upon a UGA-System human resources page that had a link to a part-time English/Humanities position at a school I’d never even heard of. Without a lot of thought, I read the job description, uploaded a cover letter, my CV, and applied for the job. I don’t even Continue reading

B.A.H. Syndrome
As military spouses, the common acronym for B.A.H. (Basic Allowance for Housing) is one we associate with how far our housing allowance dollars will go at any given duty station.

2016-2017 Homeschool Resources
Every year I try to type up a post of what we plan to cover for the year, if not a complete curriculum list. I didn’t have the forethought to do it for 2011-2012. (I did, however, have the forethought to buy a denim jumper and fix my hair like Michelle Duggar and write about Continue reading

Experiment update || 05 ||
Today marks nine weeks of this proposed 180 day, four month experiment…I’m roughly halfway through the time I set out to realign some things in my life. {excerpt from April 24} For example, I’d tell you that my spiritual life is of foremost importance and yet, I have not practiced regular, disciplined Bible study most Continue reading

Experiment Update || 03 ||
As the school year ended I began to think about what I hoped our summer would look like. I also began to reflect in general; ever wondering if what I say I want my life to look like is actually what it is. Essentially, I asked myself, “Do my actions and time reflect what’s most Continue reading

Hawaii
We are all five finally back under one roof after almost two weeks of being here, there, and yonder. I wanted to write a post here of our Hawaii trip to document one heck-of-an-adventure. One of the greatest perks of military life (in my opinion) is the opportunities that come along to travel. Just six Continue reading
