Happy Crockpots and Casseroles day! I’m so excited to be sharing another one of my favorite crockpot recipes today. This one isn’t very unique and I think we’ve all seen (and probably cooked) a variation at some point. But it’s one of my very favorites so here it is! One of the big perks is […]
Bad Mom
Today I feel like a bad mom. In fact, I have felt like a bad mom for a while now. To be totally transparent, I try to keep it pretty positive around here. Life as a mom and military spouse is challenging enough. If you are here to read about those things, you don’t need […]
When it’s “just” a rotation
“Rotation” vs. “Deployment.” Before this year I never knew there was a difference…or that it mattered so much to some people. But once I did I started to feel conflicted and confused. Not to mention it made me wary of referring to my husband’s rotation as a “deployment.” If you have ever been at Fort […]

It’s time to talk about the deployment binder again. A while back I wrote a post about all the reasons you need to make a deployment binder in the first place. (Psst…it’s important even if your spouse isn’t deploying!) I put mine together before my husband went to NTC and used that longer period of […]
Infant Car Seat: How to choose
Finding the “perfect” infant car seat can feel like a major decision. With our first, my husband and I didn’t actually plan to get an infant seat. We were going to go straight to the convertible car seat to save money. While there is absolutely nothing wrong with this plan, my mother in law bought […]
Moving Home During Deployment
Moving home during deployment or staying where you are: it’s a big decision. Here’s why I’m moving
Halfway there: the 20 week bump update
Holy smokes! The first few weeks of this pregnancy felt like they lasted forever…and now I’m not sure where the time has gone. Assuming baby girl comes by her due date, I’m halfway there! If she’s like Oliver and takes a little longer then I’m not quite there haha One of my goals this pregnancy […]
