I’ve been trying my best to catch up on everyone’s blog lately, and in doing so, I’ve found tons of great new blogs to follow. I’m so exited to have new material to read every morning, and to meet other bloggers from all over the world.

I really want to commit to that goal (even if it is a little late in the year) and open up to my readers.Continue reading “15 (More) Facts About Me”

Among the many situations we are faced with in military life, it’s hard to have an answer or plan for everything.

8 Mobile Apps For Your Next Road Trip
In November of last year, I drove all the way from Florida to Maine with a couple of my coworkers. We covered the entire East Coast, and it was one of the worst road trips I’ve ever been on. Not even joking. Not only did we run into traffic trying to get out of Florida, but we hit about 6 more traffic jams along the way. And to make matters worse, the rear windows in our truck got completely shattered because we traveled through a bad area. All of it could have easily been avoided if we had known what was ahead of us, and had the right tools to actually enjoy the trip.Continue reading “8 Mobile Apps For Your Next Road Trip”

Summer is always tricky for me, because I can’t wear shorts to work (too much AC) but I can never find nice dressy capris.

Decor and Organization: The Perfect Tools For Any Office
Having an office space that’s your own is all about personalization. It’s the only area that belongs to you and only you, and given how hard that is to come by, it’s important to find a style that works for you. When I choose items for my office, I look for timeless styles that are unique and elegant, but still fun.
