After deciding to come back to the blogging world, things got turned a little upside down for our family. I've been away for a little bit and here's why. Deployment gear Jesse is now deployed, and I had a rather rough 3 months. For half of September and all of October I had been feeling [...]

Weekends Are Our Favorite
Much like the title says, Weekends are our absolute favorite time of the week. Jesse doesn't work, the kids want to be outside, we usually grill and just relax. Our tiny swimming pool has pretty much been the highlight of summer for the girls. We leave it out all day and the sun make the [...]
Well, Hi There!
It's been a long time, a year to be exact, since I even considered writing a blog post here. Whew. You might notice the URL is a bit different. I moved my blog over to wordpress.com so my domain kind of forwards over here to it. I hate the link that shows, but whatever. 2020 [...]
4th Of July Festivities
I hope everyone had a great 4th of July! For us, it was rainy and kind of a letdown. I had really high hopes that this year we would be able to really enjoy all the festivities that Fairborn has to offer, but since it rained all weekend, it was kind of a bust. So, [...]
First Herb Garden
I did something so incredibly weird and out of the norm for me that I think my need to nurture is basically running amok and challenging my brain. I bought some starter herb plants and made an herb "garden". It's not really a garden, I just have basil, oregano, parsley, and chives that are in pots on [...]
It’s Been a Long Time!!
I've taken a much needed break from blogging and I've really just been enjoying spending time volunteering with the OSC and with my daughter. I've felt at times that blogging is no longer what I want to do, but then I miss it after a while. I've learned that while I don't want blogging to [...]
To My Unborn Baby
To My Unborn Baby, While you are in my womb, and currently with a very slow heartbeat, I feel the need to write to you. To tell you how much I love you and I think about you every day. I know in a few short weeks, you might not be with me any longer, and [...]
She Loves the Outdoors
This little lady loves to be outdoors. She loves to run around, jump, and play on the slide. She loves it so much, she asks to go outside multiple times a day. She's full of energy, full of spunk and sass, and full of adventure. To hear her laugh as you chase her around the [...]
Getting Fit
I'm not really sure where it began exactly, but shortly after my dad's passing I made a promise to myself to be healthier, be happier, and live life to the fullest. I started working out (so far I've done PiYo, 21 Day Fix, and now Chalene Extreme) and I've lost quite a few inches from [...]
Last Words
I haven't been around in a while and it's because of some very stressful, emotional things. I'll start at the beginning. In November my Dad was feeling full all the time and it was progressively getting worse, to the point where he started having to remind himself to eat. Then a week before Thanksgiving, he [...]
