For today’s “Wifey Wednesday” the lovely Sheila over at “To Love, Honor, and Vaccum” is asking how we deal with marital frustrations. I felt like this post really applied to my husband and I. Being a military wife, there are a lot of things that can sometimes go “unspoken.” Especially in the Coast Guard…smaller branch of […]

If I have learned anything about parenting and marriage so far in the past almost 2 years, it’s that it is a learning experience. You learn through observation, experience, and-if you’re like me-lots of TV Shows [like Super Nanny and World’s Strictest Parents] books, magazines, and blogs. And while there are lots of things that […]

Hello my favorite bloggy friends! I just wanted to update you guys on the “going-ons” of our trip home. It has been a crazy insane weekend and I am finally getting around to making a quick post before we all go shower and get ready to start rolling again. Like I said, we got in […]

Ahh…Halloween. Easily one of my least favorite holidays growing up. Forget the candy, forget the trick or treating, forget the costumes. Halloween for me growing up was all about FEAR. I was a wimp. Terrified of the dark, scared to death of those late night creaks and noises that I couldn’t explain from my bedroom. […]

So. It’s that time. Vacation. Car Trip. Sweet Home Alabama. This is one of those things that I get mixed feelings about. I love going home to visit. Love heading back to the south [Yes. We live in Florida, which geographically is farther south than Alabama…but it’s a whole different kind of southern.] to see the […]

This is the first time I have joined in for this meme, but I thought it looked like it might be fun, so I am going to give it a shot. Sheila over at “To Love, Honor and Vaccum”  hosts it weekly and also gives some pretty fabulous and practical marriage advice. I couldn’t really say […]

Dearest Baby Boy, Should I even call you that anymore? You have grown up so much over the past year. I can not even believe it. It was this day, one year ago, that my life changed for the better. I dreamt about you, prayed for you, and thought about you from the first day […]

With Noah’s first birthday, came a lot of memories and a lot of reminiscing over the past year. I don’t doubt that I am a good mother. Because I know that I am. But, I am not the mother that I want to be. Not the mother that I could be. Not the mother God […]

[Edited to add more photo’s] I have been playing around with the photo editing software on my computer today. I downloaded paint.net for free because, lets face it, we are in an economic slump and I can’t afford to buy Photoshop. It works pretty well. Not as good as photoshop does, but it gets the […]

Jill over at Scary Mommy is having this FABULOUS little contest…she wants to know what it is that makes us [well, me in this case] “Scary Mommy’s.” Say what you want, but mom’s of any age can be scary. There is no denying it. And since the prizes are so unbelievably awesome and I like […]
