Wordless Wednesday: Westboro Baptist Church

I am sure many of you have heard of Westboro Baptist Church (an anti-homosexual radical hate group). If you haven’t, please ‘Google’ them because I refuse to put up any links to their hateful site and plus, I don’t want any hits to their site coming from my blog. I came to learn about them [...]

Letter To My Daughter

Homecoming has come and gone. Our family is once again complete! This post is a letter I began to write to my oldest daughter prior to homecoming. My husband and I decided to keep homecoming a surprise from her and her little sister – and although it was difficult, it was well worth it. I [...]

Sharing Me

Emotion always has its roots in the unconscious and manifests itself in the body. ~Irene Claremont de Castillejo Homecoming is so close I can feel it breathing on my neck! It’s been so long since I have seen my husband’s face, hair, skin, hands, – everything. Although he was home for a short time before [...]

Semper Waiting

A military wife knows more than anyone what it feels like to wait and wait and wait. We wait for deployments, we wait for homecomings, we wait on official word, we wait on getting leave, we wait for orders, we wait on emails, we wait on phone calls, well  (you get what I mean) we [...]

Wordless Wednesday…A Little Pink in a World of Camo

Today a very young Military wife along with her newborn baby girl will be putting to rest the man who was is her everything. I have followed Mrs. P’s blog, A Little Pink in a World of Camo, for some time now. I love her honesty, humor, and cuteness –> her posts are always great to [...]

I know there have been many postings like this, but with my desire to get out of my emotional deep end with this surprise and still indefinite deployment I decided to try and bring some humor to get through it all. So here is my version of “You Know You’re On Deployment When…”  And please….feel free to [...]

Calling all Military Spouses, Girlfriends, Fiancés, Children, Friends and Families: NEED YOUR INPUT!!

Hello Everyone!! I haven’t been able to ‘post’ anything lately because I have been preoccupied with a couple of projects and ideas I’ve put on the back burner. Now with the hubby re-deployed and with being in a new location (still quite unfamiliar with) I decided to attempt to use my time wisely and take [...]

New Year, New Home, New State, New Blog Post, and New Deployment

So after I pulled all the cobwebs and used a compressed air can to blow off the tall amount of dust on my blog – IM BACK!  Or more like (as I prefer to call it) , “My Verbal Rebirth” (yes yes – I so prefer that better) Any who – instead of boring you [...]

Calendar Countdown

Halloween is over! Woo-hoo! Now don’t get me wrong, my daughters and I love Halloween. We very much enjoy costume shopping, decorating, and (of course) trick-or-treating. It was a very crazy last few weeks of October (thus why no recent blog post). But, I’m back and super excited that the month of October is finished! [...]

PS: Missing You On My Birthday (A Poem)

A candle is lit as I’m surrounded by love Each one singing the traditional song To wish me happiness and wealth in the new year to come   I tearfully think of the year that has passed And remember every moment that was oh so sad The memories escape me of happiness and cheer As [...]
