When You Need Some Change Right Now Today
Apr 9th
Excuse me for being a little down today, folks, but the last 24 hours have brought me some extreme weather whiplash and I am not. a. fan.
Snow in April: now, that just ain’t right. {But I’m gonna whisper this complaint because we’ve been known to get snow in May and -?whimper -??even early June.}
I know a lot of places like to claim the if-you-don’t-like-the-weather-then-wait-a-minute-it’ll-change mantra, but I’ve never lived anywhere that does this in style like Colorado.
On a similar but different note, we were supposed to move this summer, but it turns out we are officially staying put. So far, I’ve More >
When You?re Pretty Sure This Will Not End Well {One Surprising Way to Grow Your Confidence Today}
Apr 4th
During my music major college days, I performed countless concerts in symphonic bands and orchestras. And because the instrument I play is a common solo instrument, I had my fair share of spotlight moments. I can still see myself rubbing sweaty hands on my coal black skirt while counting measures, waiting for my time to play solo.
The nerves usually pushed my confidence right off the stage.?Sometimes I would play okay, sometimes very well.?Either way, when it was over, I would sit back in my chair and exhale in relief. As much as I enjoyed performing music, I couldn’t always make peace More >
The One Can?t-Miss-Never-Too-Late Easter Activity
Apr 2nd
Spring Break galloped through town last week, and while we did plenty of Easter celebratory things during her visit, we didn’t get to everything on my list.
I bought all the grocery fixings for a genuine Passover meal, but it didn’t happen.
I double checked we had all the supplies for dying Easter eggs, but that didn’t happen, either.
I’m slowly learning to?lower my holiday expectations, so I’m not too concerned with what I didn’t get done before Easter.?It doesn’t matter if the kids and I dyed eggs or participated in every egg hunt, if we wore sparkly new Easter duds or made More >

When Easter Is Your Struggle and Your Song
Mar 26th
Since last Mother’s Day, my little lemon tree gift sits More >“How do we measure the size of a fire? By the number of firefighters and fire engines sent to fight against it. How do we measure the seriousness of a medical condition? By the amount of risk the doctors take in prescribing dangerous antibiotics or surgical procedures. How do we measure the gravity of sin and the incomparable vastness of God’s love for us? By looking at the magnitude of what God has done for us in Jesus, who?became like a common criminal?for our sake and in our place.” ?~Fleming Rutledge
A Project, Military Spouses, and Housekeeping
Mar 22nd
Spring break is just around the corner here…and so is snow.
Thank you very much, Colorado.
{And Colorado answers, “Hey, we’re 7,000 feet up and it’s only March. So simmer down, Sweet Cheeks.”}
Also around the corner is the birth of a little project, and I need a bit of help with it. So I wondered if I might call upon my fellow military spouses?(past and present) for a little assistance in answering the following questions?
1. When you think about your life as a military spouse, what are some words or short phrases that immediately come to mind?
2.?What do you find to be More >
