Lovingly Weaving Your Family’s Nest

Lovingly Weaving Your Family’s Nest

One day last spring, morning coffee in-hand, I noticed my dog’s curiosity about an object in my backyard. Hmm… A bit too curious perhaps, so I went outside to see what he found. To my delight he had his nose deep in a bird’s nest. There were no broken shells nearby, so I guessed it had long been abandoned and fallen during heavy winds the night before. I held it in my hand and marveled at it.

Frank Lloyd Wright might be the greatest modern human architect of houses, but to me, nests are the most precious homes ever built.

Standing On My Leash

Standing On My Leash

Recently, my husband, Doug, and I walked to the nearby Starbucks with our dog, Billy. Seated on the patio, we tethered Billy to the leg of a chair and sat back to enjoy coffee, scones, sunshine, and people watching. Billy caught sight of another dog tethered only a few feet away. His leash was long enough for him to approach this new canine friend, but there was one problem—he was standing on his leash. Billy’s plight was out of Doug’s field of vision, so, with a chuckle, I said, “Billy wants to meet that dog, but he’s standing on his leash!”

The 20-Year Mark: A Lifetime

The 20-Year Mark: A Lifetime

There’s an anniversary my husband and I have been talking about for some time now, and I think the same goes for military families, civilians, and global media. It’s the 20-year mark since the Sept. 11 terrorist attacks. 

There’s so much uncertainty on how to approach this day, particularly with the recent events in Afghanistan. One thing I’ve been reflecting on recently is that it feels like a lifetime ago.

And for some, it was.

Too Much Toxicity

Too Much Toxicity

For quite some time, I’ve noticed some disturbing trends across social media. It seems as if toxicity and the people who spread it have been in full force like a wildfire. One topic I’ve seen consistency is bashing women. For example, stay-at-home moms, women who like to wear make up and pretty clothes, women who work, and women being comfortable in their own skin.

Life is hard enough without people intentionally making it miserable for others. 

What’s Your Obstacle?

What’s Your Obstacle?

Somewhere in early 2016 I discovered a fitness group that would alter the overall course of my life; I just didn’t know it then. Melissa would lead regular workout sessions in a few places around Fort Carson, and every meetup would vary in group size, experience, and of course, the workouts. Melissa’s positivity was tangible, infectious, and she made us believers. Believers in her, believers in ourselves, and believers in the group. She is what made Body Blast more than just a way to pass the time, but a lifelong pursuit for me.

Creating Unique, Personalized Cards with Hello Video

As we tackle the challenges of a busy life, staying connected to our loved ones can become challenging. As a military spouse, being able to connect with my family and friends is essential. Hello Video gave me the ability to not only connect to my friends and family through written words but also by showcasing a favorite picture and a special video within the card! 

Sending a physical card can consume time and energy, while Hello Video cards help you create that physical card with an extra touch of love.
