One perk of moving across the country has been two extra weeks of SUMMER. Peighton goes back next week and I'm definitely in team "sad to see ya go." We love the lazy days of summer and I will always prefer having the girls home. While I love having my kids home with me, Peighton is anxious to get back at it. She's ready to meet new friends and get ... Read More about Our Must-Have Back to School Items
Well, that didn’t go as planned
Moving has to be one of the most stressful tasks we're forced to endure as military families. I've personally never found the actual act of moving to be the daunting part. It's always the leaving part that I've had a hard time with. Leaving friends, your home, your community - that's the part that sends me over the edge.

The State of our Move
Hi friends! I dropped the bomb, or the softball really since we knew it was coming, a few weeks ago and then went radio silent about it. Don't take that to mean that we haven't been behind the scenes movin' and groovin' to get all our ducks in a row. In case you're wondering, here's a quick update on the state of our move! To refresh, Matt has been in school for the last two years learning all the things and will begin a new job in the Navy once we move. We're being stationed in Twentynine ...
