So, Hubs and I went away for a “weekend”. In the law enforcement world, any stretch of 2 or more days where he isn’t working is technically a weekend. We headed out Sunday after Sunday school, and got back late Tuesday afternoon. We went to a cabin in the mountains, just the two of us. […]
Frugal Accomplishments: *Made my own taco seasoning from a recipe I found on another blog on a link-up page. I think I’m going to make a large jar’s worth since we eat Mexican foods a good bit. I’m also going to try the chocolate syrup and the vanilla extract. Thanks, Brown Thumb Mama! *Brother started […]
I’m forgoing Forgiveness Friday in lieu of Bragging About My Husband Friday. Today’s a big day. Big. Today he graduates from the Police Academy. He’s already a certified peace officer (as established by finishing his 11 week course, which ended with him going 2 minutes with a MMA fighter who just happened to be his […]

He’s been beaten up, pepper sprayed, shot with “simu-nition” […]

He has no residual effects from the stroke, and his spinal stenosis was healed as well when Pastor […]
There’s something nice and relaxing about seeing clean laundry hanging on a clothesline. It makes me happy. It’s simple. It’s uncomplicated. It’s just what it is: clean laundry soaking up the sun, swaying in the breeze. It makes me forget the rat race that I feel like I’m in so much of the time. It […]
Valentine’s Day is looming, and though I don’t like the commercialization of the card company’s holiday, I do like to find ways to show my family that I love them. I also like to have fun, and frugality is a must these days, so here are some of my ideas to have a frugal, fun […]
What does it mean to be a law enforcement officer’s wife? I don’t know what it’s like to be a police officer’s wife yet, but I do know what it’s like to be a detention officer’s wife and a police cadet’s wife. I’ve read tons of blog and facebook posts on being an LEOW, and […]
