Mother’s Day Scavenger Hunt
In the past few days I’ve read accounts by friends and strangers alike that Mother’s Day is not a big deal to them, and that they don’t feel the need to be celebrated for doing that which they love. I do not count myself among those people. I am a mother, and I am very … Continue reading
Critter Conversation #60: His ASU Brings All The Moms To The Yard
Tony’s attending a professional conference at a swanky local hotel today, and he came home yesterday informing me that he’d have to dress for the occasion. This meant putting on his dress blues, or as I suppose it’s called now, the Army Service Uniform. That he has to buy updated uniform components and accessories so … Continue reading
Critter Conversation #58: He Gets Me
From a Facebook Post on March 3: Tony: I just put a load of laundry in and now I’m gonna go get those parts to fix the car. But… wait, I was gonna vacuum first. There’s just not enough time to do it all! Me: See? This is why I generally just throw my hands … Continue reading

Busyness and Blogging Excuses
Things have been so busy – both in terms of scheduled activities and brain activities – that I haven’t even thought to sit down and write a coherent blog post lately. SO MUCH has happened in the past two (three?) weeks that I barely know where to begin, so I’ll just go for it. My … Continue reading
Silent Sunday: Fall Flowers
{Alternate Title: I might not get fresh flowers often, but when I do, he does them right}
Jammies Were Not On The Packing List
When Tony and I first began dating a dozen years ago, I was brand new to the concept of “The Army”. I had no firsthand experience with anything to do with the military; I was not from a town that was near any military installations, had no family members presently serving, nor any who had … Continue reading
