We’ve officially made it to the end of March!!! I thought January felt forever long….but now I am fully aware that was just a warm up for March. And if I’m being honest, April is starting to look like it might last forever too. I told our pediatrician yesterday that it felt like we should […]
When deployment meets a global pandemic
Coronavirus. And deployment. All at once. This is fun right? I was getting a little confident, thinking this deployment was almost over and I had done pretty well. Sure I moved home with my mom to have some help, but I had done holidays, an ER trip for the toddler, and had a baby all […]
Tuesday Morning Coffee: 3/17/20
Gooooooood morning! If you’ve been around here a while, you may remember that I used to do a post that was basically a virtual coffee date on Tuesday mornings. It was my take on something my gramma has been doing for years. Of course her version is in person rather than digital, but at the […]

If you read my previous post about my plans and goals for 2020, you know that I’m trying to prioritize balance and consistency. But what the heck does that really even mean? The thing is, I have a tendency to be an “all or nothing” type of person. I go into something with grand plans […]
