Planning For A Long Distance Relationship

Planning For A Long Distance Relationship

Comments 1 comment

  Long distance relationships.  We all have our own perceptions about them.  I used to think it was a crazy arrangement entered into by 2 naively twitterpated individuals.  Then I married an Airman. Military relationships have unique challenges.  Distance is a common and often recurring fact of life.  The military relocates the enlisted member when it works for them, it is not always the easiest for your personal situation though.  That’s where my story comes in. My husband was scheduled to permanently…

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…

Travel can be amazing and agonizing all at the same time.  Amazingly filled with excitement and anticipation.  Seeing new places, faces, things, or even familiar ones.  Whatever the reason for where you go, there’s one feeling no one wants to know on the journey.  The antagonizing antecedent to an awful experience.  Usually attributed to aches in the act and expenditures of travel.  Alright, enough high school vocabulary now… We’ve all been there.  The unexpected expense.  Ah heck, you may totally be…

My daughter is 5 years old.  Most of the time it is a delightfully wondrous age to witness in her.  Other times I wonder what on Earth has taken over the mind of my child.  She seems to spawn into a wannabe teenager with moods and demands that are well beyond her few years. What happened to the excitement over the cheap toy in the cereal box and playing with Barbies until you were 12?  I know I played with…

Tools to Help ALS Patients

Tools to Help ALS Patients

Comments 0 Comment

Terminal illness is terrible.  Not only for the morbidly obvious reason, but the route there is riddled with unpleasantness when you’re inflicted with an illness like ALS. If you’re not familiar with ALS, please read my other post ALS Sucks. ALS takes over any and all voluntary motor abilities the patient has.  Therefore, as the illness progresses and abilities are lost, they are in need of tools to help.  Anyone with ALS should have a referral for an occupational therapist…

Have you heard of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis? No? How about the ice bucket challenge? Yeah, I thought that would ring a bell. The whole ice bucket fascination that swept the web last year was an incredible and completely unexpected explosion of awareness for ALS.  The challenge was a sort of dare and a call to donate to the cause for much needed research in search of a cure for the disease. If you were nominated for the challenge you were expected…

Happy Valentine’s Day

Happy Valentine’s Day! Yes, I like Valentine’s Day.  I know there are those of you that think it’s just a corny Hallmark holiday, and I used to be that way too.  A couple years ago that all changed when I had a love like no other.  I was not about to let a special day for celebrating love together go by. The first Valentine’s Day I had with my husband was one of shock and awe as I dazzled him…

I Want to be a Zookeeper

I Want to be a Zookeeper

Comments 0 Comment

Several careers bounced around in my head over my 18 years of youth.  The first I recall was some strange desire to be a zookeeper.  Yes, a zookeeper.  What kid has ever dreamed of that?! Sure you hear veterinarian a lot, or marine biologist, but a zookeeper?  That was a little outside the box.  I was never a big fan of animals so that intrigue must have been something on the more subliminal level and not truly tending to the needs…

One day I was wandering through a boutique shop in the ever popular mall of Town Square in Las Vegas.  This shop had all sorts of eclectic wonders any woman would love to purchase.  Naturally, I had quite the pile of things I could see myself owning.  Calculating my potential bill, reality struck.   I turned away from a show stopping halter, envious of the hanger that was just so lucky to wear such a treasure.  Instead of the halter,…
