I have been a coffee drinker since junior year of high school. Back then I loved it for the taste, and enjoyed getting the flavored iced coffees as a treat. But now as a mom, coffee is how I function. I still like mine pretty sweet, but if black coffee is the only option, I’m …
Ideas for Valentine’s Day
Happy Thursday, everyone! I can’t believe that Valentine’s Day is this weekend. It kind of snuck up on me. If you find yourself falling behind on planning for it, then I have some ideas on what to do for your loved ones this year. One thing to keep in mind when trying to figure out …
Who are you?
Valentine’s day is coming up and I know there are varying opinions on the holiday. Some love it, some hate it or ignore it. Some choose to celebrate with friends while others choose to celebrate it with loved ones. As a military spouse, there is never a guarantee that I will be able to celebrate …

Yes, it is still technically August, but September starts tomorrow, the school year for Gabriel starts next week, and pumpkin coffee has been available at coffee shops now, so it feels like a good time to start celebrating Fall.
