I'm grateful to be a mom to two little girls, and I'm also a super proud Army wife. Our family is currently stationed in Manhattan, Kansas at Fort Riley. I enjoy sharing parenting solidarity, meal ideas, travel tales, friendship stories, military adventures, our DIY successes and failures, and so much more. I write almost daily about our family's lives in general, and though I like to keep things light, I also share the messy parts too. Welcome! So glad to have you around. :)
