Every year I tell myself, “I’m going to start my holiday shopping in July!” Every year, I actually start my holiday shopping in December. I shop for my son and husband, nine nieces and nephews, my parents, my in-laws, grandparents, teachers, and other extended family that would make this an incredibly long list. Not only that, I can’t just make a purchase. I have this internal drive that pressures me to ensure the gift will be (at the very least) somewhat liked!

5 Reasons You Should Visit European Christmas Markets
It’s exciting to receive orders to Europe: the travel opportunities, the food, the culture. Europe offers so many new experiences. With the holiday season quickly approaching, Christmas markets are shifting into high gear. This is a magical time to be in Europe, especially Germany. Between the food, the fun, and the festivities, you really don’t want to miss it!
Murphy’s Law: A Primer
If you’ve been around the military for even a short amount of time, you’ve probably at least heard a mention of “Murphy’s Law,” the theory that anything that can go wrong, will go wrong.
It actually has a pretty science-y history with some philosophy and math thrown in. But you don’t need to know all of that.
All you need to know is that once your service member leaves, I can almost guarantee you will get to know Murphy.
Lucky Number Seven
After 13 years of marriage, Big Sarge and I are on our “Lucky Number Seven.” No, not children (I’m exhausted keeping up with the two I have). It’s our seventh duty station!
Life Lessons of Military Life and Parenthood
My firstborn and I have a special bond, although it isn’t an uncommon one in military life. He came into the world while my husband was at basic training; I became both a military spouse and a mom in a matter of weeks.
