Unpacking and Organizing

Posted in Family, and Military Life

It’s pretty crazy around here right now. We’re still working on finishing up the unpacking. We have piles around the house because many of our bookshelves didn’t make the move with us plus the movers broken some of our other storage. Thankfully, we do have our main bookcases set up, so I can see those books. Our additional library will have to wait until we either purchase more bookcases or D makes me more – whichever his schedule allows. The moving company is coming by tomorrow (Wednesday) to pick up the debris (boxes and packing material) from the move. I need…

Grilling with Pillsbury Classic Pizza Giveaway

Posted in Commercial Break

Have you ever tried grilling pizza? It has a completely different flavor and is perfect for those hot summer days where you don’t want to heat up the house by turning on the oven.  I’m thrilled to have our grill back from the movers as it opens up the summer meal possibilities. I was recently given the opportunity to be part of the Pillsbury Classic Pizza campaign, and I happily agreed as we love pizza. I have fond memories of using the classic Pillsbury pizza dough with my mom to make pizzas, so there was a bit of nostalgia involved…

Happy Trails to You

Posted in Family

While Munchkin and I were staying at the cabin, we had the opportunity to volunteer at Happy Trails Horse Camp for special needs individuals. We had previously taken the orientation and training, so we were all set to start when we arrived at the cabin. Each camp session lasted 3 days and saw a new set of campers/riders. Each day the campers were divided into 2 groups (they stayed in the same group all week for continuity when at all possible) to allow for more personalized attention to each individual. While one group was riding, the other group would be…

Getting Back into the Blogging Groove

Posted in Family, and Military Life

After nearly a month and a half of internet only on my phone unless we hit the library, I finally have high speed internet again. It’s something that I took for granted, so it was a wake-up call not to have even dial-up available. What it did allow was lots of great time to be spent with Munchkin (and D when he was around). Our time at the cabin, while not always relaxing, was refreshing. We are now getting settled into our new place in CA. Yes, we still have the cabin and will continue to work on it as…
