A Year’s Difference: Anesthesia Take 2
After looking back at the last time we had some dental work done I was amazed by the growth of Jacob in just 18 months. He played with his sister in the waiting room pretty contentedly. He put on the pull-up without a fight. When telling him about the upcoming appointment, he was fine with… Continue reading

More Than Miles
Sometimes miles drag. It’s impossible to push yourself out of the bed in the morning. Then there are those kind of runs. The ones that are etched in your memory as a really great run. We’ll take 14 “meh” runs just to have that one. This morning was a great one. I had my clothes set… Continue reading

Traveling Practice
We went for a weekend to Portland to visit with friends and it turned out to be an opportunity for practice. With our upcoming “adventure” (what else can you call driving across the country with a 3 and a 5 year old?) packing for Portland opened my eyes to a couple of things: 1. Always… Continue reading

Snapshot Story
In this daily post prompt, we are asked to grab a photo album and write a story about the first picture we see of ourselves. In my photo album on my computer, this is the first photo I saw. Taken on the balcony of the Hale Koa hotel in Honolulu, we were so excited to… Continue reading

Wine at Nine. Or Whine.

On the second to last day of preschool, I was looking forward to chatting with the other moms after picking up our children and letting them get some… Continue reading

Just Give Me a Reason
It would seem that this sort of thing couldn’t happen. How is it possible that an entrepreneur, who saw a need in her community, filled that need successfully, is told to quit? How is this even happening? It makes no sense. Christina Landry, military spouse and a veteran herself, founded DumBell Fitness 5 years ago. As… Continue reading

Fair Winds and Following Seas….Again
Before every PCS move (permanent change of station) there are stages of emotions we all go through, much like the way we mentally prepare for deployments and homecomings. Initially we receive the orders, the “penciled in” ones that are sort of for sure, but could change at anytime. This is where we don’t really get… Continue reading

Happy Mother’s Day
“All is well with my soul.” “These are the best days of my life.” “The days are long but the years are short.” “The best days of your life are when you are raising your family.” These are 4 random statements that have been rolling around in my mind this week. As I sit here… Continue reading

Spiking My Coffee
There are days. And then there are those kind of days. Slightly drowsy from last night’s cold medicine, I was suddenly jolted awake as the warm pee seeped onto my side of the bed. “Gonna be a good day!” I thought to myself. “Cause it can only get better from here!” Ever the Positive Polly, I loaded… Continue reading
