Sweet Dreams

2013 has been a year of trial and error so far. I have not thought about babies since my seven-year old was born. Once she was potty trained, I looked forward and never once looked back. Well, now that A is here, I am learning as I go. To all of those that told me [...]

DIY Homemade Laundry Detergent

A good friend of mine loves to make her own household items and cleaning products because they are cheaper and healthier for her and her family. The first cleaning product she asked me to try was laundry soap. She knew how sensitive my daughter’s skin is, how grimy and dirty my husband’s work clothes can get, and how frustrating [...]

My Homecoming

The most exciting time of a deployment is homecoming. This deployment was my first, and I was super excited. My husband was supposed to come home after Thanksgiving, but plans changed due to the mission. His ship and several others had to turn around. The one thing my pregnancy has taught me is to roll [...]

Simple Homemade Waffles from Scratch

Do you ever get into those moods where you feel like eating breakfast for dinner or brenner? In my house, brenner comes at least once a week. There is something about eating an omelet or french toast at the wrong hour of the day to make you feel like a college kid again. I blame [...]

Many of us have a lot to be thankful for: roofs over our heads, food in our bellies, and people who love us. I have all of those and are thankful for those things everyday, but I’ve recently discovered something I’ve overlooked for the past few weeks: cloth diapers. I don’t know what I would [...]

Are cloth diapers for you?

Cloth diapers are no longer a thing of the past. They are certainly NOT the same as  they were back when we were growing up, or when our parents were growing up. They are now a hot booming industry of fashion forward and eco-friendly covers and inserts that are easy on the eyes and pocket-book. [...]

Apple Dump Cake Recipe

So I’ve been eyeballing this recipe for the past month now. I’ve pinned it to my Pinterest account and promised myself I would make one as soon as possible. Well, now that I’ve discovered I have 2 bags of apples that need to be eaten, I figured why not fix one. The weather is getting [...]

Navigating through a high risk pregnancy and deployment

  No one said being a military spouse was easy. There are many challenges we must face on a daily basis that the civilian world doesn’t. One of those inevitable challenges would be deployment.
