I don’t know how many of you out there follow MckMama or the story of her sweet little boy Stellen. Those of you who do, know the situation and the circumstance at hand. Those who don’t, as a mother, I encourage you to head over to her site and check it out. This little boy, and […]

Well, we made it home. In one piece. Safe and sound. It’s always such a bittersweet emotion coming home from, well, home. It’s always hard to leave behind the place I grew up. The place that, no matter where we ever move, will hold something special in my heart. I’m a southern girl through and […]

I have been struggling with a void lately. I feel like there is a big empty spot in my life and I don’t know where it is coming from or what it is going to take to fill it. It feels something like a sense of “worthlessness” that I just can’t shake. I am having […]

Sometimes, as women [especially Christian Women] I feel like there is too much expected of us. We have to play wife, mother, lover, friend, sister, daughter, aunt, teacher, housekeeper, chef, & nurse everyday. And we are expected to do it with a smile and do it without complaint. Being a mother & a wife is […]

I’m finally getting around to joining in for the very first time in Mama Kat’s writing assignment for this week. I watch her site every week, but most of the time I don’t really come across a prompt that inspires me to write. This week, I found one that I’m pretty sure that I can do…. […]

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 […]
