Recently I had some friends over to the house. Sounds like no big deal right? Well, there are two articles in this months Military Spouse magazine that have inspired or conspired me to write about my experience.
Although “entertaining” for most might be routine, a way to relax, even a fun experience….for me, well…at [...]
There’s a little voice in my head that keeps telling me buying a house is a lot like jumping into a pool: you don’t know if the water is quite warm enough, but the other swimmers say it is, and you dip your foot in and it feels OK, maybe a little cool. But the [...]
Remember this post I wrote a few months ago about double-fiber bread and the violent, unthinkable things it can do to your stomach?
Well, the good news is that eventually your body adjusts to the extra dose of fiber, and the noises coming from your stomach, which in the beginning were like a gravel road buckling [...]
Danielle and I might be crazy, but later this month we’re going to take Sean to the Big Apple — New York, NY. We’ve never been, unless you count riding the subway from Grand Central Station to the airport. We also figure now would be the time when Sean is at his most portable age.

If I had to pick my absolute favorite summer drink I would surely have a hard a time! Some top contenders might be an ice cold Coke Zero, then again maybe it’s a Cherry Limeade from Sonic. I believe Sonic has the very best ice on the planet, which adds to the pleasure of [...]
This morning I almost tripped over my husband’s enormous rucksack (confession: I had to google the word “rucksack” and look at a picture to make sure it was indeed that… yes, I’m a reservist wife. ) It was sitting right in front of our closet where he’d left it last night when he came [...]

Our adventures in summer eating continued this week with a trip to the strawberry fields. It amazes me that this island we live on is home to several [...]
My 20-month-old daughter clearly knows Sponge Bob Squarepants (“Bub-bob”) and can sing the song well enough that even non-family members recognize it. She is also more than familiar with “Dora” and “Diego”; I think she expects them to come over for a visit any minute now.
A few years ago, in the before-children era (B.C.), if [...]
The term “Battle Buddy” is relatively new me. I’ve heard Army wives use it and seen it on various mil-blogs that I read. In concept, it means just what you might imagine….a buddy you have been through battle with.
As I’ve written about before, my husband recently returned from a deployment to Afghanistan where [...]
One of the things we look forward to every summer is the local farmers’ market. This summer we took it one step further and signed up for a local CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture. Basically, we purchased a ’share’ of the produce from Simmon’s Farm, which is right here on the island. At [...]
