Landing the Plane with The Breastfeeding Shop

Landing the Plane with The Breastfeeding Shop

by | Mar 26, 2016

When I became a mother for the first time, I felt like my life had been flipped upside down.

Facebook recently reminded me of this truth with a status I posted three years ago when I birthed my daughter. It went something like this: “I’ve decided that becoming a mother is like trying to land a 747 in a blizzard. It’s difficult, scary, and uncertain, but in the end, I hang on tight, knowing that most planes make it safely onto the runway without crashing. Right?”

Let’s just say my daughter and I got off to kind of a rocky start.

7 Ways Being a Milspouse is Like Parenting A Toddler

7 Ways Being a Milspouse is Like Parenting A Toddler

Our Tiny Human just turned 3 years old. And with the Terrible Twos behind us, I thought things would flip like a light switch as the final smoke wafted from her blown-out candles.

And it did. We went directly into the Threenager Stage.

It’s really not that bad. In fact, I like her more now than I did this time three years ago after 12 hours of Pictocin-induced labor with no pain meds. (Side note: I have, of course, always loved her. She is just more fun.)

I always prided myself on being independent.

As a military spouse, it’s a good attribute to possess… for the most part.

But shortly after jumping headfirst into this milspouse life, I realized that too much independence wasn’t such a good thing.

Here’s what happened:

How to “America!”

If you ever have a face-to-face conversation with me, it will likely take you all of six minutes to realize that I have some very “unique” language and vocabulary.

I use words like “fantastical” on a regular basis.

I occasionally throw a “fo-shizzle” in there, although I know it is so 2011.

Life is funny.

Why? Because just a few short years ago, I had two “nevers” that I (naively) thought were non-negotiable.

I will never love/marry/follow a man.
I will never run a marathon.
You can probably already see where this post is going. Obviously, I have done both.

Humorous Holiday Hacks, Round #2

Humorous Holiday Hacks, Round #2

by | Dec 11, 2015

Can we all take a collective, deep, cleansing breath? I don’t know about you, but sometimes the holidays stress me out. Sure, last month I made the vow to switch things up a bit this year for the holidays, transitioning from stressed to blessed, but let’s be honest. Even in a “perfect” world, that would be a tall order, let alone trying to mesh that vision with the craziness that is the life of a military spouse. One of my coping mechanisms for stress is humor. Last year, I shared some Humorous Holiday Hacks here at Army Wife Network. 

Apparently, they were well received. 

Either way, I have been asked to expand on my “hacks” from last year, adding some fresh ones to the mix.
