Did you have a good Friday? How did you spend your afternoon? I was going to go grocery shopping. Instead, I got the mail, and checked it as I always do to toss the catalogs and junk right there at the post office. That way there’s less paper coming into our home. I came across… read more »
The Dinner Dance
2012
All couples have their dances. Ours is often dinner. There are days I don’t feel well, and there are days like yesterday, where I REALLY don’t feel well. My fibromyalgia is flaring, and quite frankly, kicking my ass. I have a migraine that wants to manifest, but sits in my right temple and my tense… read more »
School Transitions
2012
We have both boys transitioning this year. Have I mentioned that? I probably have. It’s one of the things that’s been preoccupying my mind these days.

Some highlights from the last two weeks. -I harassed all of our Congressmen with emails. Senator Toomey’s office… read more »

What is Military Spouse Mentorship?
2012
Mentoring other military spouses was a topic of conversation I saw recently posed on Facebook by one of the sites I follow. The question was should volunteering for things like the FRG and roles spouses have traditionally played in the military lifestyle be voluntary, or should they be expected/forced? When we first started in our… read more »
Snow Day Treat with Weis Markets
2012
Let me spin you a tale of grocery shopping. I was eager to have the opportunity to explore one of our local Weis Markets to see if they had gotten any better in terms of being competitive with the other chains in our area. (For the short version, see my picture story on Google+) Before… read more »
