Today I am 29 days away from becoming an Army wife. Our whole life is about to change in so many ways. It is amazing how many emotions and feelings the human body can experience all at the same time. Excited, happy, nervous, scared, curious, joy, sadness. I am not looking forward to Hubby being …

Don’t Sweat the Small Stuff – God’s Got It!
This past Saturday night, just before Emily went to bed, I was rocking her in the rocking chair. I feel so incredibly blessed that she still lets me do this from time to time, even at 5 (and a half!). Suddenly, she burst into tears! She said “I don’t want to grow up. I want to …
We’ve Joined the Army!
Here we go! The roller coaster ride has begun! Hubby signed the papers yesterday to re-enlist in the Army! For the past 6 months he has been getting back in shape to join the Army, and now it’s time. His MOS (Military Occupational Specialty, aka his job) will be 74D – Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear (CBRN) …
Life is a roller coaster ride
One of my closest friends put it this way, “It’s like when the cart gets to the top of a rollercoaster isn’t it? You know what is coming is scary and exciting but you have no idea what’s coming. Just that it’s about to start.” That sums up our life right now just perfectly! I am …
Practice Makes Perfect…Or Not
The other day my daughter was practicing riding her bike. She was working on her turns and making figure eights without turning too much and falling over. I told her “Practice makes perfect!”, and she told me “No it doesn’t, Mommy! No one is perfect except God.” How right she is! If only practice made perfect, then …
Having faith like a child
The Bible tells us that unless we become like a child, we will not enter the kingdom of Heaven. “I tell you the truth, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. ~ Matt 18:3 I learn so much from my little girl each day! God uses …
Muffin Tin Meals
This isn’t a unique idea, but I wanted to share it anyway since I’ve been using it for quite a while. I had seen it on several blogs & in magazines and thought it was a cute idea. My daughter, Emily, LOVES samples, and will eat almost anything on a toothpick. Often she even requests …
I live for moments like this!
Tonight on the way home, Emily (4 years old) commented on the half-moon in the night sky. I asked her to tell Daddy why we could only see part of the moon. Emily: “because there isn’t light shining on it all” Hubby: “How did you know that?” Emily: “Mommy told me. After we got home from the park …
Best Hubby Ever!
I have the best husband in the world! Really. Although, I’m sure many of you feel the same way about your husbands – at least I hope you do! This year, my birthday falls on Mother’s Day. My absolute favorite gift would be to get to sleep in, have a peaceful long quiet time, and …
The Waiting Room
Imagine being in a waiting room. You’ve been there for hours. No one is telling you when it will be your turn. No one can even verify that you are in the right room. You just want some answers. You are happy to wait, if someone would just tell you what is going on and …
