Navigating life as a pilot's wife and misadventurous mom.
Tweet Part of Perfect Moment Mondays… As usual, Reagan is awake before I’m even ready to peel an eye open. She has no problem helping me. Usually, she pounds on my head and yells in my face: “Get up, Mommy! Get up!” while pulling all the covers off. Just the way we all want to [...]
Tweet We attended our first equestrian ballet on Wednesday – Cavalia. In the seven years the show has been running in cities all over the world, this is its’ very first appearance in Denver. From the creators of the famed Cirque du Soleil, Cavalia pays tribute to the bond that humans and horses have had [...]
Tweet Part of Perfect Moment Mondays… On Saturday, we painted our first ice cream cone. Reagan picked out the colors: black, green, purple and pink. Hey, it was her ice cream cone. We were at Color Me Mine, of course! Reagan was one of ten kiddos sharing a table and painting everything from worms to [...]
Tweet Blogging gets a bad rap. It’s still thought of as a narcissistic, attention-seeking time-killer just to post status updates on Facebook. Psychological studies have even been done on it. Bloggers are looked upon with even greater disdain. So why would anyone want to put themselves out there for such public scrutiny? It was with [...]
Tweet With Christine O’Donell’s big win over Republican establishment candidate, Mike Castle, in Delaware, the number of strong, conservative women taking the Republican party by the horns is hard to miss. O’Donnell, a relative unknown and the rest of the women listed below are an inspiration because they are breaking the mold of the stereo-typical [...]
Tweet Looking back at some old posts, the title of this one made me stop. I had forgotten why I titled it as I did. Didn’t take long to refresh my memory, and give myself some grins. Those “terrible twos” that I thought she’d grow out of. They’ve become the “tireless threes.” Stubborn and more [...]
Tweet Last year I wrote two posts about President Obama’s Back-to-School speech. It was quite the hot topic. This year, there hasn’t been a peep about today’s 2nd annual Back-to-School speech to be broadcast live on the White House website and via CNN as announced on WhiteHouse.gov. After all the hullabaloo surrounding the content of [...]
Tweet You may have noticed, there have been some changes going on around here. Updating the look (still on-going) and direction (more on that later) of my blog. I’ll be revisiting some old posts this week as part of my own re-dedication to blogging. I began blogging when our family was just crawling out of [...]
Tweet When Danny was sick, he received a curious book from a friend. It was titled: “Cancer on $5 a Day* *(chemo not included): How Humor Got Me Through the Toughest Journey of My Life.” “What a crass title,” I thought. But, being an avid reader and with nothing but time on his hands, Danny [...]
Tweet We had been content to let Reagan sleep in her crib for as long as she was happy there. She’d been climbing in and out, with the help of a stepladder, since she was two years old. But, this summer, shortly after turning three, she discovered that cribs “are for babies,” and hasn’t stepped [...]
