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…

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…

Preschool Graduation

Preschool Graduation

Comments 2 comments

Graduation season is upon us. I’ve heard of so many graduations this year. It seems like everything can be celebrated and commemorated these days and some of it is a bit surprising. Aren’t all graduations the same old thing? This of course coming from me who chose not to walk for my Master’s ceremony. I surprised a lot of people by not doing it. All the pomp and circumstance just didn’t appeal to me after having a few already. Try…

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…

I grew up pretty sheltered.  If I had a nickel for every time someone said I grew up in a box I wouldn’t be in agony over my freshly pink high-lighted white down comforter care of my daughter’s friend who came over to play.  Oh great, I gave away the ending. …  Ah yes, my sheltered life.  When my brothers and sisters were little our house was not the destination for our friends.  My parents were just not the type…

I Want to be a Zookeeper

I Want to be a Zookeeper

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…

I started this blog at the beginning of 2015 with the intent to share my thoughts and experiences and basically give myself a hobby.  As a new full-time mom I needed something that was just for me.  Writing, story telling and having some time to check out of the everyday to-do’s is what I enjoy.  Even when it doesn’t happen everyday. It has been a month and I think I have a good start to the year.  There are times…

So I woke up annoyingly early today just out of the blue.  My husband is at work, the baby is sleeping like a baby and the cats cuddle silent at my feet.  Not sure what got me up, but something did.  As I try to fall back asleep I hear it.  Some tiny sound coming from somewhere. What on earth is that I wonder and groan, pulling the blanket over my face.  I could still hear it.  Something tinkling?  Maybe a cat playing with…

$h!t My Kid Says

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,…
