Family Hiking at Picacho

Posted in Family, Holidays, and Outdoor Adventures

It wasn’t that long ago that taking longer hikes with Munchkin and D was a huge task for me.  My inhaler was in constant use, and I was in a great deal of pain.  It wasn’t a matter of being out of shape.  It was various health issues that caused me to struggle.  It was frustrating for everyone involved. I am so grateful that I am now able to hike along with my family.  Oh, I’m still lagging behind them a bit, but that is partially because of my short legs and partially due to not being as in shape…

Relaxing with WondaWedge

Posted in Reviews

If you are like me, you are probably wondering what is a WondaWedge?  A WondaWedge is an inflatable indoor/outdoor lounger.  Because it features a lumbar roll, it provides great back support.  Users can adjust the firmness as well as the angle of the wedge to maximize comfort.  The flocked pvc material is easy to clean with soapy water.

Happy Veteran’s Day 2010

Posted in Holidays, and Military Life

Over the years, Veteran’s Day has meant different things to me.  When I was younger, I didn’t completely understand the significance.  Once D joined the Corps, my understanding started to significantly grow.  His first deployment lead to a deeper understanding.  During the next deployment, he was actually gone for Veteran’s Day.  It was then that the meaning of it all truly sank in. I sat there on the computer putting together a Veteran’s Day post to honor all of the veterans.  I looked at pictures from war after war.  Thoughts rolled through my mind ~ honor, courage, commitment ~ freedom…

Happy 235th Birthday Marines!!!

Posted in Holidays, and Military Life

I am grateful for all of the Marines – past, present, and future. I am grateful for the brotherhood that they share; the bond that keeps my husband safe when he deploys.  I am grateful for my life as a Marine wife.  While it may be difficult at times, our military lifestyle has been a blessing in many ways.  I am grateful for the other Marine families who understand the difficulties and blessings of military life.
