We’re going on vacation! Thanks to the very generous people of Ohana Camp we are staying for an all expense paid stay in a cabin for the week along with many other military families. We didn’t get everything done on our list for the house but we are all pretty exhausted and ready for a […]
We are a military family. It is fairly new to us. Even though many of our family members have been in the military, Matt just joined about three (or four? is it bad I can’t remember?) years ago. So it’s new to us on the level where it affects our every day life. The longest […]
Living in a hotel has a taught me a lot about myself. Example? I need a maid and an indoor pool. Mostly though, it is teaching me about judgment. It’s teaching me about judging a book by it’s cover. It’s teaching me that things are not always how they appear on the outside. It’s teaching […]

Happy Mother’s Day! I wrote this a while back over at BellazizasFavorites.com and thought it was worth sharing again! You Know You’re A Mom of Boys When: There is pee…everywhere…forget toilet seats, it’s everywhere people! There are numerous daily conversations about underwear, snot and butts…in a completely serious manner. There are numerous daily conversations about […]
My house is clean and I’m not afraid to admit it! I get a lot of rolled eyes when people come to my house and see how clean it is amongst four males in the house. But the joke is on them. Because my house isn’t really that clean. It just looks like it is. […]
No, I did not take my camera into the bathroom so I could get this picture… …just so I could prove that I can’t get a moments privacy even in the bathroom because if the kids aren’t bothering me, the dog is! It’s weird and gross to perch on the toilet, camera in hand to […]
