Navigating life as a pilot's wife and misadventurous mom.
Tweet WARNING: This post contains graphic content which may not be suitable for those with weak stomachs. There is an expression, the nicer version of which is “stuff happens,” that could’ve been the theme for what began as a fantastic evening in Grand Lake, Colorado. My in-laws were in from New Orleans, and because they [...]
Tweet While visiting the Garden of Gods in Colorado Springs, a friend informed me there was also a Garden of the Gods on the Hawaiian island of Lanai. Curious, I had to look into how it is that the two natural wonder parks would share the same name, while an ocean apart. They are both [...]
Tweet We are so fortunate as to have so much beauty right here in our backyard. Our recent 4-day weekend in Colorado Springs wouldn’t have been complete without a visit to 5-star hotel, The Broadmoor, home of the 2011 Women’s U.S. Open. We’re not golfers, but we could still enjoy the impeccably manicured grounds and [...]
Tweet What would summer be without a family picnic? For us, family in Colorado means friends, and especially those friends in the 302nd Airlift Wing at Petersen Air Force Base in Colorado Springs. After serving 15 years with the 302nd, flying missions in and out of Iraq, Afghanistan, Africa and various other parts of the [...]
Tweet Just when you thought I was done. I promise this to be my very last post on our Christmas vacation in the Big Easy. And just to give it a little different twist, I decided to create a Whrrl story for your viewing pleasure. Enjoy!

I’ve never been good at resolutions. The “keeping them” part that is. But, now in my 40′s, with life glancing by faster than a shooting star, I’m giving resolutions [...]
Tweet This is me with two of my favorite sisters back in my college days. It’s been a long time since my last kegger or all-nighter, but on Wednesday night I got to re-live a bit of my glory days with my new sisters. It was a fabulous Girl’s Night Out with the ladies of [...]
Tweet Yes, that clown nose was Photoshopped in. And that costume wasn’t really one worn at Cirque Du Soleil. This is our living room and the costume is from Big Lots, but, this is the closest I could come to getting the shot I was hoping for at our exclusive behind-the-scenes look at Kooza. So [...]
Tweet An innocent, melancholy loner is delivered a package. He opens the box and is escorted into a fantastical world of acrobats and clowns through the magic of the Trickster inside. Kooza (Circus in the Box) delivers more than just laughs and high wire acts, it transports you back to a time of wonderment and [...]
Tweet Well, not exactly, but just knowing I have that option, if I really, really wanted to is just INSANE! For the first time in two-and-a-half years, I am flying solo, baby! And, for FIVE whole days! There was a time when I didn’t think I could handle being separated from my munchkin. But, yesterday [...]
