Popping in from Florida to say hello and good afternoon! My sister and brother-in-law PCSed (moved) down here about three months ago, and Hadley and I couldn’t get here fast enough! I know it’s really hard for them to live somewhere so beautiful. Yea, right. 🙂 The drive normally takes about 5.5 hours from my parent’s house, but thankfully having… Keep Reading
Slice of Life – November 29th, 2015
November… it’s just been wild. At MOPS last month we focused on embracing rest as moms, and I’ve had to remind myself many times this month that it’s okay to let the sink sit with dishes a little longer and to turn down a few invitations for the sake of just resting. When I used to rest I would joke that… Keep Reading
On Being a Gracious Thanksgiving Guest
Happy Thanksgiving a day early! What do you have planned for tomorrow? Hadley and I will be spending a much-needed day with my family, and I’m really looking forward to it. The last time we spent Thanksgiving with my family was two years ago when Hadley was only 11 days old, and that holiday was a total blur. 🙂 I… Keep Reading
Pet-Owner Heartache & Hefty Vet Bills
If you’ve been a reader for a while, you know that we’re mildly obsessed with our rescue dog Teddy. You may remember that he’s been the star of several blog posts the last few years (most recently when he locked us out of our car again in September and when we celebrated his “Gotcha Day” in April). Teddy is back on… Keep Reading

Fast forward a whole year, and now I find myself continually… Keep Reading
Hadley’s 2nd Birthday
On Tuesday my big girl turned two! I was admittedly pretty emotional last year about her first birthday, but this year I was just excited to celebrate her life and make her feel special on her big day! Here’s a collage of her on November 17 in 2013, 2014, and 2015. I can’t even imagine what three year old Hadley… Keep Reading
Military Housing Options: Which Is Best?
Though some military families decide well in advance that they will always rent, buy, or live on post no matter where they’re stationed, many others (my family included) make the housing decision on a case-by-case basis depending on where they’re being stationed and for how long. Though we really enjoy owning our home, the idea of selling it in just a… Keep Reading
Stitch Fix #13 – November 2015
I’m sure I sound like a broken record at this point, but the box I received a few days ago is hands down my favorite box I’ve ever received from Stitch Fix garment-wise. It’s also surely not a coincidence that the price for the total box was also the highest I’ve received to date, and seeing the individual prices next… Keep Reading
