Reflections, routines, and real stories from life as a military and travel-loving family. From everyday parenting to the adventures in between.
I’ve done a lot of different craft projects, but never dared to take on something like repainting furniture. My friend Amber, who writes at Poole It Together, is a pro and guided me through the whole process. In fact, Amber and I got so into refinishing stuff that we joked about one day opening a …
I’ve been really into lighting this move. (It always seems like I get obsessed with something when I’m settling into a house.) I think because everything in the house felt dated I felt like changing out some lighting could make a huge difference in the feel of the house. I had it in my head …
Well.. back in August I thought I was taking my last family photo as a family of four, but our new little guy waited till October 5th to make his debut. As I am sure you can imagine October was crazy as we adjusted to our new life with three little ones. Now, in November, …

The Cast Members at Disneyland Paris snapped some great photos on my phone of the family meeting our favorite characters.
I’m continuing my resolution into 2016 to take at least one family picture each month with the help of the Me & Mine linkup. We took this one on our Christmas trip to Morocco. Little O is too busy watching the waves to smile for the camera, but at least his little blonde head …
2015 has been an amazing year of travel for us. We’ve seen Albuquerque, Orlando, Disney World, Atlanta, D.C., Amelia Island, Erie, New York City, London, Antwerp.
