I’m glad I wasn’t a young military spouse
Happy MilSpouse Monday friends!Last week I took on a fairly controversial topic and wrote about my feelings on Service and Sacrifice as they apply to us as military spouses. This week I am getting controversial again…so don’t hate me! Or do…but at least read this first before you make up your mind 🙂 I am […]

Follow my blog with Bloglovin Somehow we are already at the end of January…and that means Valentine’s Day is just around the corner! My husband and I don’t do much to celebrate Valentine’s Day, but I do love to decorate. And since I try to decorate on a budget, a craft is always a good […]

Hey MilSpouse…making friends is worth it! Promise
Making new friends as an adult pretty much sucks. In high school and college you are pushed into new situations with a bunch of other people that are new too. Then you go to class, clubs, and sporting events and just meet people as you go. Suddenly they are your best friends and you can’t […]
The Five Goals I’m Setting in 2019 To Take Charge of My Life
Goals are some of my favorite things and one of the best ways I keep myself motivated. 2018 was far from my best year and I felt like the majority of the year was spent waiting on things that were out of my control. Then suddenly nothing was in my control and I pretty much […]
Welcome to 2019 – Let’s make it a good one! (and a free 2019 goal setting workbook)
