Watermelon Sundae

One of our favorite things about summer is enjoying sweet, juicy watermelon! This summer, we made a new twist on an old favorite. It’s tasty enough to be a treat, and healthy enough to have for breakfast! Servings: We made this for 3 people, but there was plenty of everything to make twice that many as

JRTC

Sunday night I dropped Hubby off at work, so they can all head to JRTC for the next month.  It was hard to say goodbye.  It felt like I just got him back from the last 5 months of training.  I know this month will go by quickly, but it’s hard not to think ahead

Happy Valentine’s Day

We have such fun plans for today and are having somewhat of a backwards day.  We are starting with a fieldtrip, followed by schoolwork.  We are heading out to check out a local Airborne museum and wander around downtown.  We drove through there recently when we went to the library and saw a bunch of

Our Journey from Texas to North Carolina

I’m a bit behind getting all this posted, but better late than never!  Almost 2 weeks ago now….after our super fun last night in our old house, we got up the next morning and hit the road!

Fun at Fort Bragg

In the middle of our settling in we found a little extra time, so we stopped for some fun at a park & playground on post.  Emily was so excited and had the best time! She even wanted a souvenir from the park (pinecone and pine needles) – not quite getting that we live here

PCS – We’ve Arrived

We are now safe and sound in North Carolina! After 2 days of packing and loading our household goods, & 3 days of driving…we are here!!  I really want to write about the process and share pictures with you all, but I have to admit that my brain is fried! Hang in there with me
