Military wife life can hold a ton of unknowns. One pretty reliable fact though: you are going to move. It can be a gift or a burden. Moving always scared me before I married my airman. It was unimaginable to live anywhere else than my hometown, let alone the actual act of packing and moving. I doubt even the most comfortable-with-change person enjoys packing. Luckily, I quickly gained some experience I can now pass on to you. You too can…
From my very first blog and beyond my love for cleaning hasn’t wavered. Nothing feels as comfortable as a clean house. I am thankful for the wonderful tools and products I have, none quite as valuable as my Dyson collection. As much as they cost, and as much as I love and use them, I must confess my abuse of them. With the obvious cleaning tasks of any home, cleaning your cleaning devices goes unnoticed and forgotten. Today, I am…

Who out there likes a clean house? Hand raised high here! Nothing says comfort and peace in a home like cleanliness. I love it being clean and I love to clean. However, there are the cleaning tasks that even I find hard or loathsome to tackle. One of them is the glass shower door. Hard water stains set in and oh my goodness, I don’t know what to do next. Luckily our glass shower door is in the spare room,…
Have you ever heard the saying wash your hands and say your prayers because Jesus and germs are everywhere? I love that because it is so true. And, truth be told, the same goes for dust. It is everywhere and no one wants it there. I am grateful to live in a climate with much less dust than my previous city, but of course dust knows no boundaries. It shows up in surprising places sometimes and though it seem innocuous,…
Spring is here and Summer is near! Time to get the yard in shape and give the kids some extra play space. We are so looking forward to it after our first loooong winter here in the Denver area. Before we moved here we were under the impression that there were 4 seasons, like most places outside the desert. Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall. Right? Not true in this place. It’s more like Winter, Second Winter, Some Summer, and Fall. All…
That’s right! A headboard made out of cardboard. I saw other posts like this on Pinterest that looked so simple and affordable. It piqued my interest enough to give it a shot and truth be told, it all cost less than $20! No major tools, time or experience needed. I’ve wanted a specific headboard for over a year now. The price is the only thing that kept this statement piece of furniture out of my house. This stay at home mom has…
It sure has been a while since my last post. Life’s not so slow around here lately, it’s been busy busy busy. As summer winds down we are trying to capitalize on the rest of the hot weather and the free time we have to enjoy it. We settled in nicely to our home after one heck of a move and home buying process (more on that in my other post, Real Estate, Sweet Real Estate). Only a few boxes…
Home Sweet Home. The feeling of pulling into your very own driveway is an unrivaled comfort. Especially after months of the home buying process. If you’ve ever bought a home, you know what I’m talking about. It all starts with house hunting. Searching for the perfect place with just the right space, potential and hopefully some structural appeal. Once you lock in on that coveted casa, you qualify, sign and trade your cash for keys. Sounds simple enough right? Recruiting…
The internet is full of tips and tricks for travelling with babies. And wacky and expensive gadgets for it too. Prior to every flight with little ones I spend a bit of time on Google checking for new ideas to keep the peace. While there are great ideas out there, this article is here to offer some insight on travelling with baby or toddler that I haven’t seen anywhere else. First things first, no one knows your kid like you do. You…
