Someone recently asked me what the best thing about being a Navy wife is. That’s a really hard question to answer because there are a huge list of positives (and negatives, but I ignore these as best as I can). I really buckled down to pick the very best thing. I may have overworked my brain…

Today’s the day, we’re off to Yellowstone! Lola and I are going to storm into that place and snap as many pictures as we can. We estimate our Nikon camera has enough memory cards to take 10,000 photos. That’s TEN THOUSAND! We don’t think it’s enough. We’ve been generous enough to allow the Daddybeast to…

What do you get when you mix Lola with a baby bison? You don’t know? Well, prepare to find out! Lola and I are taking our schtick on the road to Yellowstone National Park. We’ve arranged (with an employee we are related to) lodging inside the park and we’ve got it on great authority that…

You know that one episode of Seinfeld where Jerry leaves the apartment and Kramer immediately springs into action – moving furniture, inviting people over, and generally having a grand old day? Then Jerry comes home and Kramer is napping and he thinks that’s all Kramer did all day. That’s Lola and I when Hubster leaves…

Lola celebrated her 5th birthday this week! I made her a delicious puppy peanut butter cookie… and then I lit it on fire. She almost knocked me over trying to figure out why her cookie wasn’t being fed to her. Every year I put a candle, every year Lola tries to eat it. Needless to…

I wrote this post years ago and realized that I am almost always the loser of this game. Lola plays it so well in our new house that I sometimes panic when I can’t find her. I recently taught Lola a new game to play. Since she has spent the past three years shadowing me, I…
Read MoreI thought buying a house with a seven car driveway was a boon. It was not. I spent six hours power washing my driveway, only to realize that I had another 12 hours of work to get it all the same color. My mistake began in thinking that my driveway was a dark gray cement……

The other night I was viciously prevented from getting any sleep. I was in bed at midnight, sitting with my eyes wide open. My body was on fire and I knew I wouldn’t last the night. (In hindsight, I realize this was dramatic.) So what is a girl to do when she feels death is…

I made a terrible, horrible, rookie mistake last night. It was awful. I’d like to preface this confession by saying that I’ve done this before and I know I’m supposed to do better…but I couldn’t help myself. I went online and watched installation videos on The Container Store website. Specifically, I watched the videos for…
