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

Celebrating Five Years of W.A.C.K.
We ended our school year several days ago, but due to life’s busyness we just got around to having our celebratory party Friday night. I kept is fairly simple as we tied a bow on another school year.

I have had to address my disappearance from Facebook to a few close friends and family members but… Continue reading

Does My Life Reflect My Values?
This is a question that has been floating around in my mind for several weeks now. In fact, it is a question I often consider as seasons change and when I find myself feeling stuck, discontent, or sliding into a funk. As my school year draws to a close and the pace of life is… Continue reading

The Big Mo
As we are down to our last year at this duty station, I’ve decided to become intentional about marking off items on our Georgia Bucket List. Getting to see parts of the country (and world) is one of my favorite perks of military life and we have lots left to see as our time winds… Continue reading

Tellus Museum
On our way back home from our Tennessee trip during spring break, I took the kids to the Tellus Science Museum in Cartersville, GA. It did not disappoint. We are no strangers to science museums (or any other type of museum). And as our children are getting older, we walk a fine line of finding… Continue reading
