Walking into spiderwebs

How’s your weekend going so far? Yesterday was Family Friday at the squadron bar. It was great to catch up with the wives (the theme was Hawaiian BBQ) and hold Livi while she sucked on cantaloupe- she LOVED it- and we all had a lot of fun. Last night was also my last Friday night…

Mite-y

Have you tried this stuff before? Vegemite! It’s huge in Australia, and I’ve become good friends with a girl who is staying in Tucson from Australia for a while. Yesterday, I asked her if she liked Vegemite, and she said, “I have tubes of it in my room! I’ll bring you one.” Today we had…

Purses have always been my favorite accessories, but I’m wondering if their less complex counterpart would give my outfits a little something extra. I especially love how girly they are. What a fun way to add a bright pop of…

And then it’s over

I did something yesterday that I’ve been freaked out about for quite a few months: (still obsessed with the sweet potato brownies) went to the dentist. In the world of medical professionals, dentists freak me out the most, especially after having a really bad experience (being stabbed with the novocaine shot 8 times !!!!! for…

Reader Request: Is ZIN worth it?

Of the emails I receive, 3 topics are the most popular: -health and wellness -military life (dealing with deployments, moving, making friends, etc) and –ZUMBA! Quite a few people have asked about the Zumba licensing process, if ZIN is worth it and what to expect, so I thought it would be a fun post for…

Calming my fears

While I was pregnant, I tried to keep my worries and stresses to a minimum, because I knew that everything I felt, Liv could feel, too. I wanted her to feel happy and safe, so even when things came up, I did what a could to take deep breaths and take action without getting too…
