It all began when my husband and I started daydreaming about our next Air Force assignment. A new base, a new town, and a brand new experience which could lead us halfway across the world. We’ll hopefully receive our next assignment in about a month […]

It all began as a joke. At least when I started following @collinkartchner on Instagram, it was still just for fun. One of my favorite Instagram personalities @becomingjolie recommended Collin’s account for a bit of social media humor. At the time, Collin only had about […]

Four months ago, what started off as a minor tropical storm dropped three feet of water on my city and decimated my plans. Some were, in the grand scheme of things, inconsequential. I was going to throw myself a belated 30th birthday party on Halloween, […]

Do you have anything special planned for the weekend, friends? Other than a bit of traveling and a fun family wedding, we’re laying low with some classic scary films to get in the Halloween spirit. (Recommendations are always welcome.) Don’t forget to soak up these last few […]
