Kindness
It hasn’t been a particularly rough day. Or week. My son started preschool and it’s been fun and exciting. We’ve been running errands and doing this and that. No big deal. Today Hannah had her 2 year well-child check up. She’s growing like a weed and is in the 80-90th percentiles for height and weight.… Continue reading

A Little of This, A Little of That…..
I’m just loving having a garden this year. While we didn’t plant that much, it’s amazing to me just how much we’ve been able to harvest! We’ve been eating snap peas like crazy people!

Deployment Suckies
Since I did a couple of posts about the positives – I figure I should probably balance those out with the flip side lest anyone believe that I can be a positive Polly for the entire 9 months….. Ha! Most days are okay. We get into our routines and do the things we need to… Continue reading

More Deployment Positives
As I am getting along and finding my groove with the kiddos, I keep thinking of the positives of deployment and more and more are cropping up. I love how no matter what a person looks for – they will find it. If I am looking for the positives or the negatives of a situation… Continue reading

Little Lines….
I have fallen in love…. With mowing the lawn. Yowza. I really do lead a crazy exciting life… There is just something so awesome to me about that feeling of accomplishment: getting it done for another week, getting dirty, smelling that fresh grass and dirt smell, being physical- all of it. (Yeah, and I’m one… Continue reading
